It is easier to be said than be done.

What is yr aro's diet prior to this MP conversion? 2 months without food for an adult aro should be okay IMO...just maintain good water parameters plus some tankmates who are MP-trained should help...

your aro hasn't been eating anything for 2 months? maybe you would like to try some other kind of food for the time being?

look out for the stomach got bloated or not, i had a Red not been eating for 91 days then on 92 days it started eating back.
I also got another SRVF never eat for about 2 months died, open up and saw its full of eggs in her stomach.

IMO, 2 months shouldn’t be a big deal for an adult aro provided the health condition of ur aro is good and ur tank water maintain in good condition as well.

I believe ur aro was addicted to insect, comm with other tank mates to compete for food in order to stimulate her hunting instinct.

TFB, Hooks and smaller Silver aro would be a good choice.

Heart of steel will lead you to success, all the best bro.

Give a little more info.....

What was aro eating prior to his protest...

I would cut a 2cm square piece of MP and put a sw through it....get him to the the mp in his mouth.....let him chew...gonna be messy....LOL

Keep at it....once in while jsut toss mp in without sw.....he'll catch on quick....

My female Silver Aro went over 8 weeks without eating prior to dropping eggs.....should be no problem....

Don't get discouraged
