I've had lot of success raising young African Aros on live blackworms to get them to a safe size where they don't require constant feeding. (they grow extremely fast as babies). The thing I would have done differently was introduced crushed pellets and tiny tiny pieces of shrimp/tilapia with the worms at a younger size. They usually will eat everything once bigger as long as the food wasn't too big.
Here's an old thread I had on one of my baby African Aro growout if you are interested in looking through. (Unfortnately rehomed it when it was 22"-23 since gars were bothering it).

Hello. I bought a 4" African Aro 2 weeks ago (August 20th,2017). I thought I would make a thread to keep track of its growth. I apologize ahead of time if the pictures are not the best (been lazy to scrub the algae).

09/03/17 (2 weeks later) grew fairly fast!
Stay tuned for more.
