hey everyone my new black aro loves hikari pellets but they are so damn small.. I also have the tetra sticks that are bigger but he won't eat them. are there any other HIGH QUALITY arowana sticks that are bigger in size? I just can't see this guy eating a 3/8" tiney food stick when he's 20" long and if he doesn't eat fast they just end up in my overflow.. help me out here guys.. thanks

Here are stick foods that my aro enjoys. His favorite is the Azoo arowana sticks. But, he'll eat all three foods. I least prefer the JumboMin because, of the 3, this food does not contain spirulina or the level of vitamins contained in the aro specific foods. The spirulina and vitamins have shown themselves to improve the immune systems of aros and reduce the risk of HITH.
And out of the 3 sticks, Jumbo min breaks easily and can cloud up your water.
I understand what you mean about hikari sticks, they are small . Maybe you could put a stocking over your overflow so that the stick doesnt get sucked in.

I have seen some other aro sticks on ebay that are from the asian countries, does anyone have any experiance with these? also how do the azoo sticks compare to the hikari sticks in size? I agree with the points made about the tetra sticks also I don't think they taste good. I can't get anything to eat them.
I bought a pond floating feeding ring and use it in reverse. I cut enough away to fit around the overflow and use loose-fitting nylon zip-ties to hold the ring against and around the overflow. This keeps the sticks on the outside of the ring and gives the aro time to feed instead of losing the food to the filter.
Good tip ! is this "guard" attached to the overflow full time? If it is, does surface film
and small floating particles still get sucked into the wet dry?
