Here I go again with my Aro as a teacher. I had 3 9" Tats that were bought on live foods. In about 2 months I had them snapping at market shrimp. I had the Silver Aro (about 10"??) already on market shrimp before I added him to the tank. I purposly threw in the pcs were the tats were and as the fell by them the Aro would either drop his mouth and catch them next to the Tats or scoop them from the floor next to the Tats. Either way it went for the most part the Aro would eat the pcs in clear view for the Tats to see(I did starve the Tats fro 2 weeks before I added 1-2DZ max of 2-3" comets). I had to do major re-modeling at my house so I gave the fish to All-Happy aquarium where he added them with a black Aro and within the next 2 days he had them on market shrimp along with a 10" Tigrinus and some other species that he had some trouble getting off live foods (tigrinus). By the following week everything in the tank including the 3pcs of Tats were on 100% market shrimp.

I seriously believe that aros are the best teachers as they eat and close their mouth slowly. And enough time to show a stuborn fish to eat.
JMO:D
Also I believe Jlgnygen74 (sorry for spelling;)) now owns the 3 market eating Tats:headbang2

Can I ship mine to you and you teach it off live food and then ship them back?

Either live fish or SCAR on my other fish :cry:
