Great Job Keep in mind that mine still eats around 16cubes a day and I've tried Pellets w/Garlic and he still will not take them GL (he's ~18")

Wow, that's a really big fishing on FBWs! I better start early. I've seen her take MP meant for the other fishes but she never swallows them, just sort of taking it in then blowing it out then taking it in again, all in rapid bursts. Guess she's trying to swallow it but it's too big. Thanks!

nice afrowana as well as your datnoids! good job!

Thanks, the Datnoids are mostly semi-stable though! Trying to sell the lot of them off now to fund for a Yellow Tail Green Arowana. I've got 5 of em'!

:eek: Your African Aro still doesn't eat pellets? My 15"-16" African Aro eats pellets,fd krills,mealworm,tilapia,shrimp. I don't feed black/bloodworms anymore.

How'd you get it on pellets and when'd you start the training? I'm hoping to get it on either an all MP or Pellet diet. Tips please! :popcorn:
 

Thanks!

All the African Aro's I've kept has successfully ate pellets. Read this thread (I posted how I trained my African Aros onto pellets)

I've noticed my Afro picking up pieces of MP for my Bichirs but it doesn't seem to swallow them but rather spit them out and quickly suck them back in in very quick cycles. Did you your 8" the entire pellet or just cut up/grinded up? Thanks for the link by the way Hao!
