How big is your aro and what is it eating right now?

 

[akskirmish]

Not really-

It just takes time to hand feed things-Consistancy and persistance goes along way with it though.
As for the food-I'm not sure what to say since I have never had the problem before...

How long you had it?
How big is it?
Tank mates
Whats it current diet consist of?
