No, but whatever they are eating I wouldn't be surprised if it equalled more than 25 superworms. It seems like a lot but I'm sure it's alot less filling than a rodent. But the Silver in question does seem like a pig.
I'm not advocating power-feeding. My RTG does not continue to eat and eat. Now that he's on market shrimp, he fills up more easily and then stops eating. I'd never seen him with a plump belly on superworms like he gets with market shrimp.
I just don't see 14 superworms being a big deal for a 12" aro.

my sub-adults silver aros and jar are fed everyother day ...hehehhe though i do feed them everyday whenever i am back home. hmmm, they do have a stop point though. The sivers stop eating after certain amount of food.... though i did observe that even after there are still live frogs floating aroud they still eat shrimp that i give to the stingray below.
I have never seen asian aros pig out =( they eat very little and are very picky
PS: but even with prawns there is a stop point - tried that too ... (no idea what superwork is - anybody got a pix?)

I asked a pet shop once and they said their aro can finish 75 worms a day... And they're about 10-13 inches, I'm not sure if he was referring to one aro, or the four they stock...
Now, what IS the appropriate number?

the super worm does not look so super... i had them in my mind to be bigger... so maybe it is okay amount.... but still better to leave the arow slightly hungary then too full

Oh, i thought that was a meal worm ... a bigger version of meal worm then?
If so, my asian aros eat these readily always. Other things are hit and miss.

Never counted, but if these are superworm (mealworms) then any of my silver aros can eat 75 of these. my red aro eats these by handful
