If you insist to change to pellets, then you must have very good patience, and determination.
Aro can don't eat for months. Just make sure there is a good water condition.
Pellet or any food that you provided, must be removed within few mins, if Aro don't eat it.

You can try adding some tankmates that eating pellets, this will help Aro, when it is super hungry.

Hear hear

I understood from earlier posted, aro can live without food for months.

But getting worries since he last meal was 6-7 weeks ago.

Sigh, thinking giving up.
Not sure should I try pellet mix with MP (suggested by llewellyn) or feed his favorite SW back

Default Hi

Just starve and they will eat. I have a pond of about 20 XB, previously all on MP and BF. When I shifted them to the pond which did not have adequate filtering, I decided to switch to pellets. After 3 - 4 months of nothing but pellets, all are eating fine now.
