I am a new member and this is my first post. I have a 12 inch silver arowana, two 5-6 inch peacock bass, and a shovel nose catfish in my tank. I would like to teach them to eat massivore pellets or something similar insted of feeders.
The arowana will eat frozen kelp sometimes. My question is what would be the best way to get my fish to eat food other than feeders, and what food should I try to feed them? All suggestions and advise would be greatly appreciated Thank You.
 
Your best bet would be to not feed them anything for a few days or a week, then offer the pellets. 5-6" fish may be too small to handle massivore pellets, though. a medium sized pellet would probably be better.

$5 bag of small shrimp from wal-mart...

keep it frozen and thaw it out in a cup of hot water then feed it to your fish...

cheap and easy
 
Thank you for the advice I will try it.
