Need advice on training my Aro to eat pellets.
I have starved him for 2 weeks now. He is 13-14"
I know he is hungry because he always follows me to the top of the tank. I try to throw in pellets everyday so that he sees there is food coming into the tank. His tankmate is a flower horn who eats everything thrown into the tank. He mouths a few sometimes but spits them out right away. I have even bought some garlic guard and soaked the pellets in them and still won't bite them. First time I tried training I would put pellets in shrimp and he would spit out the pellet and eat the shrimp. Then soon after that he kind of learned what I was trying to do and stopped eating shrimp. Oh and I'm using all kinds of pellets from food sticks, massivore, cichlid gold, and even frozen bw and krill .
Can somebody give me other advice that might help him eat pellets. Please help his stubbornness .
