Ok, so here is my stock 1- silver arowana, 1 peacock bass (ocellaris?) 1 fire eel, 1 electric catfish, 1 black ghost knife fish, 1 ornate bichir. what would be the best foods to feed? besides pellet and flake, what types of frozen or live do you feed your predators? I have them on a strict diet of bloodworms and freeze dried and frozen krill. I wanted to expand their diet for optimal health
Best foods?

bloodworms have poor nutritional value, get them on pellets asap. then supplement their diet with other foods like tilapia fillet, peeled market shrimp, etc

White fish from the supermarket
Also new life spectrum or hikari carnisticks is much better than bloodworms which have low nutritional value like mentioned.

the problem is my fire eel he is too small to eat anything but bloodworms and i don't recall anyone successfully pellet training them
While not always easy, fire eels can be trained to take pellets. A friend of mine had his eating NLS. Just start with small pellets and go from there.
If you're going to go that route, one might as well simply feed a variety of fresh/frozen, such as some of what has already been metioned (tilapia, whitefish, shrimp) and presoak in a liquid vitamin supplement such as Boyd Vitachem.
yesterday i tried white fish filets and my peacock bass ate it all and his stomach was so full i was afraid to put anymore food in and the rest nobody touched so thats a no
