Juvenile Arowana care - pellets or food sticks? What is a good diet for a 3in Arowana. Right now he’s only being fed freeze dried bloodworms but I want to get him on other food diet as well.

Does brand matter? HIKARI vs NLS vs NF?

The smallest brand of floating NLS pellet.

That’s all I should feed him? I post a lot here but I rather ask first then do something dumb and kill my fish. I care a lot about my fish, I want them to live for as long as possible. At what age should I start feeding them anything else?

Start now when Aro gets about 5-6 inches start offering larger size floating pellet and food sticks preferably Hikari brand.

The reason I suggested the small pellets is because the food sticks are too hard for a small 3 inch Aro.

That makes sense. I was giving him frozen bloodworms but they were too big for him, he would spit them back out. So I should be good with just having him on a strict pellet diet? Just to make sure.

Keep in mind Aro's are surface predator's but will go down in the depth of the aquarium if necessary.
