getting my little jardini onto pellets !!!!!

[Evz jardini]

Trained him on the sticks first, then transition it to pellets

I found that with my old jar he hammered carni sticks for years then few months before I lost him he decided he liked hikari gold

Here he is the little rascal
I've already got the dreaded worms from over feeding :banghead:

Hoping I can turn him into this soon enough
This is my six year old beast I lost last year

Sorry about your loss. You can train them to eat pellets as long as you don't "spoiled" them with too much of one thing (e.g. feeders). We've trained a number of our arowanas to eat pellets. They seem to enjoy Hai Feng Fast Color and highly accept them based on our experiences with numerous batches.

Thanks I'll give them a shot if I can find them in UK

Sorry for your loss. When I lost my 16" silver aro that I had for a bit over a year It was by far the worst fish related thing that has hapenned to me. But like you I have bought a new one and havn't regretted it.
The lil jar is very handsome .

 

[Evz jardini]

Cheers dan yer it was by far my worst day in fishkeeping too spoils of the hobby I suppose , ill soon have a serial killing beast on my hands again im sure

 

[Evz jardini]

Hahahaha he ate one pellet and spat three , so were getting there slowly but surely

 

[justarn]

looking good dude he will be a monster in no time!-) could always try a butti too grow him with, they grow fast, are aggressive enough to stand their ground and are quick enough to get away when they realise the jar has teeth!-) they are fairly placid and care free until 10 inches aswell. as you know rocky is a tank, they can handle large aggressive fish pretty well too.

 

[Evz jardini]

If it all goes pear shaped with the dat I'll give it a go mate so far they've been ok but I know once the jar puts few inches on it'll be a different story , my lfs has always at butti's in under 6"

Cool! Thinking of getting one my self, as a single fish. What tank size did you keep the big in?
