I have a 5 inch jar aro in a 55gallon w/ clown loachds. Still a baby. He currently eats mealworms.

Is it safe to pellet train at this young age? IMO, i think its easier to train while young but at the same time, its very risky also

It's safe if its just for a couple days. My Jar was on BW. I defrosted the whole pack of BW and I crushed up a lot if pellets into almost a powder with bits. Mixed it in, Refroze it, cut it in cubes. And served it to him daily. He got the taste of pellets. So when I converted him, he took less than 24hrs to convert

He doesnt take bloodworms so thats a no. But eventually it will i guess bc Its still shy right noe. Just got it for 3 days.

I should somehow stick the pellet into the mealworms. Trick it. lol
