Nice aro. I really like his "bullet" headshape. As for pellets, try feeding smaller prey items at first. They might be less enthusiastic about eating larger pellets at first.

I actually like to crush up pellets into powder and dip what insect or worm into powder and then feed. It won't be long before that fish will associate the smell of pellets as food and then offer only pellets.

My new XB is now eating pellets after 1 week of stuffing MP with Hikari pellets. My wife phoned me this morning and told me he has been eating 6-8 pellets the past 2 days. WooHoo.
There is more than 1 way to train, and each fish is different.
Larger fish can be starved for a very long time. The case with my old XB.
Smaller fish can be starved for short periods or tricked by feeding with their favorite foods.
Hahah lucky you! I put the pellets inside the prawns and fed him? Rigjt way?

Put Hikari Pellets inside the Market Shrimp then give the Arowana, i used to train like that.

At least the Arowana got taste this Hikari Pellets before starve them for 1 week to totaly take without Market Shrimp.
