It will be difficult to train aro to eat pellet....
one thing to consider.....the grow rate of aro that consume pellet and the one that consume other like MP, SW, froggie.....is different.....
the one that consume pellet will not grow as fast as the one that consume froggie....

My PG is a good example....acquired on 10Sept05 at 5"plus....
daily diet: MW and froggies.....last few days just measure again....8" liao....
can say within 40 days the aro grow 2.5"......which I believe is a good start for my PG....
But do consider the amount of food you give .....dun overfeed which can lead to swimming bladder problem....

Gudluck....

agree with wism_chan.
Be careful when feeding feeder fish, avoid if possible.

Peel of the legs like too cruel. Nevermind, I prefer fast death for the crickets.

Thanks bro,
Noted. No no for feeder fish.

Cheers

But sometimes I saw him "bo tai bo zhi" even air bubbles he also whack.
So I stick with plan of 1 froggie in the morning and 2 at nite?
Or 1 MP in morning, 1 cricket and 1 froggie at nite.

Weekend then give special treat!! His now favourite.... Shrimps... heehee...

Cheers bros.

A few farms selling feeder fish at a very low price, but some of them already got white spot before I transfer to my quarantine tank. Better be careful.
