Pellets should definitely be a staple, BUT you should always have a variety of foods. I say this becuase pellets contain alot of nutrients but not all that are needed and in order to make up for those missing nutrients, you would need a variety. No matter what food, if you only feed that one thing, it wont be good.

As I've said before I rotate 3 food types.
My aro is particular and will not eat pellets. I use meal worm, Crickets, (I keep these in a custom made farm and feed them fish food so my aro gets it by proxy.), and market shrimp.
After eating meal worm for a few weeks it gets fussy and won't eat shrimp or even crickets.
A few days of not eating well and it forgets it's preferences and eats what i give it.

Good idea to make it a sticky, i tried to do one a while back but it didn't get stuck. It wasn't as informative as this one and didn't contain any "DON'T" so well done.
