I meant, its faster to just throw some pellets in there if you are in a rush and need to feed.

It would eat a frog I assume, that seems like a lot of work to me. It would look great and be very healthy on pellet/stick diets/

Its cheaper and more convinience

More convenient for the owner and the pellets contain vitamins and minerals that are not as plentiful as what is normally fond in the regular aro foods like shrimp and superworms.

Nope, pellets will be more nutritionally complete. IMO there's no need to feed aros live food, get them on pellets then slowly mix it up with shrimp and other meaty foods. If they start getting fussy then back to pellets for a few days.
