Hikari Food Sticks

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
they're bascially invisible to my jar when i 1st introduced 'em to it, but now it loves these floating sticks, well, actually, it loves anything i feed him now
 
Well, if your aro is a baby, I would consider crumbling into 4-5 pieces per stick then move on to breaking the stick in half for a while then finally a full stick....right now my arowana is digging the hikari carnivore sinking pellets...I guess cause it simulates live food by it's movement....considering the only live food my aro get's is gut loaded crickets.
 
My Aro's don't touch them. My Gars, on the other hand, love them!!
 
My jardini ate pellets for the first time today... Just get him eating on something else (I used meal worms) then threw in the pellets and he took some in... Didn't go nuts over them but he ate some(this is the same way I got him to take in feeze dried krill). Hopefully s/he will get a taste for them... Try something like that with small fastest in between (day or to with no food) and you will have a good chance of getting them to eat what ever you want. Some fish are harder then others...
 
yeah make sure you break the sticks into small pieces and then when it gets bigger then you can give him half a stick and then you can give him a whole stick. thats what i did to my baby silver. and he loves it even my datnoids love it.
 
what do u consider a baby aro, mines only about 5" now. chomps down crickets and cichlid pellets. my feeders should be off quarantine in about 10 days, can't wait to see how that goes.
