Ok I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or recommendations for maybe a sinking pellet a CK would eat? My problem is hes eating bloodworms now but the arowana eats just about everything that hits the water so the CK gets very little. I'm feeding the arowana silverslides. Then I try to throw frozen (melted so it sinks) bloodworms in real fast but the arowana seems to still get half the bloodworms to. I was just wondering if any knew or had a young CK (5 inches) on pellets or if they make a certain one that sinks for CK's.

Just keep feeding regularly...if you want the CK to eat the same as the Aro, just don't throw in Bloodworms. Knives are quite intelligent and it'll learn quickly how feeding works. :)
 
i wouldnt buy feeders for it, i have herd of people defrosting the blood worms in a small cup of warm water and sucking the water and bloodworms up with a turkey baster, then sticking the turky baster in the tank and squerting the bloodworm right next to the clown knife.
 
i feed mines small feeders the gold fish like 1s,oh yours is 5inch so feed it guppies
