ok i starved my jardini for 1 day, and its finally accepting some freeze dried blood worms, but still not eating pellets. but its not fully accepting the freezed bloodworms yet, it doesnt go after it straight away, it just eats it slowly taking its time.

its kinda forcing its self to like it. if its eating it tho it has interest which is a good thing. keep mixin it up and as his hunger progresses and he'll be takin what u want in no time.

Thats good just dont feed it feeders and keep feeding bloodworms and other prepared foods now...try the hikari food sticks....also try frozen or freeze dried krill. Mine took these right off the bat GL

Try some giant meal worms... the come in a 75 count for just a couple of buck he will probably love them right off the bat and slowly get him on arrow stick by throwing out some with the meal worms... Good chance he might take in a couple by mistake thinking it's a meal worm (possibly spit it out the first few times) add more sticks to less worms as you go... I think this would probably work... And from sticks you could probably more easily get s/he on pellets if you still desired...

he stopped eating the blood worms now, i guess it will just take some time

 

[baracuda]

try some live crickets gutloaded...never seen an arowana refuse live crickets

thats the thing..i want to teach it to eat dried foods like pellets, bloodworms, etc, not live.

does high protein enriched foods, make it more likely for arows to color up more?

Well meal worms or crickets wouldn't carry nearly as many diseases as feeders may. Also they wouldn't contribute to excessive aggression towards other fish as feeders may induce. Yet lastly would be a lot closer in relation to other floating goods like arow stix (thus why they make Arow "sticks" and not pellets...)
