Hey people, I have 4 Silver Arowanas.. One around 16" and 3 around 8 to 9". The largest and 2 other 9" aros, I have converted to Hikari Pellets (I was quite surprised when my largest aro took to it). Now the problem I have is the only other aro. I've tried starving him for about 3 days and throwing in a few pellets but he just doesnt seem to take it. This has happened twice already(i give in after a few days and give him feeders) and now i'm trying for the third time and its about 3 days. He has gone thin but seems active and all that.. Just wondering how long i can go without giving him his feeders.. can i wait for another couple of days and just tryin throwin in some pellets? or should i give in and try some other time? please let me know mates.. cheers.
 
weeks.
 
you could starve him up to 2 weeks easily, probably more. I'd be willing to bet he'd start eating them in about one week... watching his tank mates get full bellies will greatly greatly encourage him.

good luck
