Fish are like humans man. If you have the choice between Steak (frogs) and Carrots (pellets), which would you choose? Sure the carrots (pellets) are healthier for you, but you're most likely going to choose the steak (frogs) because they taste better. Point being if you keep giving the aro its favorite food, it's not going to eat the pellets.

oh so what should i do?

 

[Chizzle]

keep offering it only pellets, it will take them eventually.

Pellet training pBass is not for the weak hearted.

I had success by waiting 2-3 days to feed. And tossing a single feeder in waiting, and then a single pellet, wait, single feeder, pellet feeder ect. worked for me best of luck

I think your just bad at it. That is a good method though.

It took me like 2 days to get all 4 of mine off feeders and on talapia and then a few more to get 3 of the 4 to take pellets. It wasn't as hard as people make it seem.
