This may sound very stupid to alot of you, I was wondering how do you stuff your mealworms, I been hearing a lot about you guys stuffing mealworms, I am wondering if you cut it open and stuff it or what, if you feed it something I am just very curious, stuff it like a turkey eh? Well please explain it to me. Dont call me an idiot. I am just curious.

feed it carrots

ive done this w/ crickets before...it seemed to be effective.
 
When we are talking about gut loading insects, we mean feeding these insects with what we wanna to be transferred to the aro. Common one are carrots, apple or even pellets.
 
You stuff the critters by feeding them certain foods, like carrots for example which contains carotene and helps bring out the red/orange colors, while alive and once they are full of the nutrients that you want in your fish, you feed the critters to your fish. Kind of like indirectly feeding your fish, and that is the jist of it.
 
Ohh wow, thank you guys great help. I was really curious, lol so carrots would be good for a silver aro, what would be good to stuff the mealworms, and what if the mealworms dont eat the stuff I try feeding it, and also, how long should i feed the meal worm befeore I feed to the aro?

Worms will eat anything they are given. I would say 1 hour after you gut load them feed to aro.
 
exactly what everyone said. And next time don't be so scared to ask a question. We are mostly easy going people. No one would criticize you for not knowing :)
