ok thnx
 
try feeding pieces of shrimp. one of my blacks would not eat pellets nor crickets for over 3 weeks. ended up dropping shrimp in and he went for it right away. I then started stuffing the shrimp with carnisticks so that they floated and slowly started increasing how many pellets id stuff in. After a week, the aro started eating pellets w/o the shrimp.
 
I just bought a juvenile (about 8-9 inches) a week ago and I had the same problem. He wouldn't eat crickets, shrimp, or the special carnivore pellets the LFS sells (with a pic of an aro on the label). I want to the supermarket and bought some beef heart and cut it into little bite size strips and he loves em! Today I picked up some meal worms and he was all over those too. It took him a while to get one down but he seemed to really like it. He still doesn't like crickets though. Try fresh beef heart or meal worms.
 
my arowana is eating great now... i fed it 10 crickets at about 11 pm last night and he loved them.. he seems to really like crickets
