Arowana Food Question

[CrooK808]

If i feed my feeders hikari cichlid gold and then feed them to my jardini will my jardini gain the nutrients from the feeder ?

could do.. but.. why not pellet train the jar? or prob stuff shrimp with pellets and feed? wouldn't the feeders use a certain amount of nutrition from the pellets for their own body?

If you're going to transition him in the future anyway, might as well do it now and completely skip those crappy feeders.

Get some hikari food sticks, the one with an arowana on the bag. I started feeding my aro shrimp with the sticks stuffed into it. Then in 3days he just started eating the sticks.

But the point is feeders are awful and they carry diseases unless you grow them yourself...
