I have 6 peacock bass in my 180 gallon tank. 2 Kelberi Bahia and 4 Monos and a silver arowana. The currently eat bloodworms and spurlena. I'm currently trying to get them on krill, sinking carnivore pellets and Cichlid gold.I ve been thawing down my frozen bloodworms and packing each cube with the three aforementioned foods and refreezing the bloodworm packs! Is this a good way to introduce these foods to my fish? Give me your opinion and insight!

Great way to introduce them to those foods.

That sounds like it would work. Ive always done it the "gangster" way. Thaw bw in a cup. Mash pellets into it and feed them the paste. You start with a few pellets at first, then gradually increase amount of pellets. They should be fully on pellets within 2 weeks.

Sounds good. They'll eventually get used to the taste and should start hitting the other foods within time. I had orinos who only ate silversides. I wrapped carnivore pellets with silverside meat and offered it to them. To my surprise they ate it and over time they started to take the pellet alone. Good luck.
