My 8" silver aro won't eat food sticks or frozen krill, will eat frozen bloodworms or brine shrimp and live meal worms. How do I make it eat the food sticks?

if its 8" you could use the starve method , if he's hungry eventually he'll eat , my 5/6 " jardini took 9 days before he ate one , my last jar took ages but I gave in a few times because I was worried he would die

If they are eating frozen bloodworms u can try defrosting them and crushing up foodsticks and mixing with worms then re freezing. Feed them this and slowly make the ratio more foodstick less bloodworms till they take a standard food stick

Thanks I'll give that a try. He ate one on his own today , swished it around in his mouth... and then spit it out. :/

If he is doing that try the starve method for a day or 2, or even break the pellet into a smaller size sometimes they just struggle to chew on a big or hard pellet
