Its good your getting him off live. Just starve him til he takes it...he wont starve himself to death IME. As for what foods you can try cichlid gold, dry krill or shrimp, frozen krill, market shrimp,bloodworms, earthworms, nightcrawlers...Mine loves freeze dry shrimp and krill and especially frozen krill.

really cause the 4.5" one I got last week went for about two days before taking bloodworms, krill, beefheart, an tilapia fillet. Could be harder with pellet an stick food.
He will definitly die if you starve him so young.. your lucky he is doing so well with eating at this early age..You sound like you made up your mind but you will not win on this one..not with a baby arow..they will just shut down..
when i 1st got my jar and tried to teach him to take pellets. it was actually pretty simple. i threw in a pellet and if he didnt eat it i would just give him blood worms. then i stopped feeding him for 2 days, but still continued to throw in the pellet. then he started to eat the pellet and then i would give him blood worms. after he learned that if he ate the pellet he would get blood worms after... he would attack the pellet as soon as i threw it in.

that technique works very well, though it was origionally thought up my Dmack in converting cichlas on pellets and prepared food.
none the less it works very well on arowana as well.
