Ikan bilis very cost effective cos dry weight.

i dont starve. i find that as long as aros are on frozen food diet, they are more open to trying other frozen foods.. but of coz might take some time before they willing to try. so usually i just rotate diff frozen foods until they take a bite.. then chew.. then willing to eat.
