I've raised my arowana on blood worms and small crickets most of the time I've had him. But now that he's about 6" I wanna switch him to pellets. Or at least bigger food so he doesnt have to eat like 20 tiny bloodworms. Any advice?

Yes start offering pellets. It may take a few times but eventually the Aro will start excepting the pellets. Floating pellets that the Arowana can swallow without problems.
 
I've had silvers which took these Hikari sticks readily but my asian is doing the same thing...chewing it then spitting it out and will need more time to train. It has however swallowed some that were soaked in raw shrimp juice so you may be able to try that.

Totally off topic, but how do I go about getting an asian arowana? and I got him to eat the pellets. But he'll also accept slivers of tilapia, which is better for him? Pellets or tilapia?
