q.c.
I just bought a jar 2 weeks ago, and now he's 3 inches long. i feed him 4 small meal worms in the morning and 4 at night. but 2 days ago, he started to eat only 2, and the other 2 he just drowned them. then i put 2 more, he just drowned them again. i don't know if he's just playing or something. i'm just worried that he might die because he only eat few.
 
The fact that he's still eating something means that there can't be that much wrong. Just remove the leftovers and try again tomorrow.

It's also better to try and feed him a variety of foods. You could also try crickets, small pieces of prawn (shrimp) meat, pellets, etc...

There's loads of info on feeding aros on MFK. The search button would be your best friend here.
 
also better check your water parameters, is your tank already cycled?
you can also try to feed him frozen bloodworms.
 
Try not feeding it for a full day and feed it again on the 2nd day with only 2 worms this time round.
