They all can be converted to frozen/freeze dried food. Some individuals can be stubborn but for the most part if you take the right approach all species are fairly easy to get off live food.

They all prefer groups, some would say Armatus do better alone, some of us have successfully raised groups of them though.

what about blood worms and shrimp.. my arow loves shrimp so i always have them

You can get them on shrimp with a little work, my armatus eats shrimp. Don't know how bloodworms would work as they are too small and not "meaty" enough.
