Silver aro is just under 17" and the Afro is pushing 8" inches. Ever since I've added him to the tank I saw no aggression between any of the fish. Will try the bloodworms and I've fed my fish silversides so it shouldn't be a problem. My lfs said he ate bloodworms and pellets. What pellet food do you guys reccommend?

pellets for an 8" is quite a no no
from what i have read most of the places, these fish have really small throats thus there could be an issue of pellets getting stuck.

may be really small pellets could help.

i say this as my previous one was such a pig, he used to try to swallow reall big pieces of frozen blood worms blocks, that used to scare me, in regard to the food getting stuck in its throat, later i used to thaw out the worms and then add.
