Hello everybody,
Nearly everybody I spoke to (forums, "experts", local fish store guys) recommended that I should get my silver aro to switch to "prepared foods" (Sticks/pellets) sooner rather than later.
And the suggested process to do this was to starve the aro for a week before he finally starts accepting "sticks" instead of raw food (shrimp, insects, feeder fish etc)
Ok, Now that my Silver Aro is acclimatized in his tank and is about 7 inches in length, I have finally gathered the courage to do this..
So, how exactly to do this? Do I keep offering him Arowana Sticks (and nothing else) till he starts eating those. Or do I offer him nothing for a week and then offer him the Arowana Sticks?
