Default Hikari Carnivore pellets for Aro

Hi all,

My 18inch XB recently start to take Hikari Carnivore pellets and I tried feeding her with at least 20pellets per feed but she dun seem full. Was wondering if any bros here do feed Hikari carni pellets to their aro and how much to feed? Alternatively, are there any other bigger sized pellets similar to carni pellets?

Hikari carnivore pellets maybe too small to satisfy ur XB at its current size. Try Hikari jumbo carnisticks or Hikari massivore delite.

IMO, Hikari carnivore pellets more suitable for smaller size fish about less than 12".

Never try, never know.

I'm feeding all 3 types of pellets (those mentioned earlier) now + Tetra XL pellet to my fishes. Your aro can or may be choosy but you can always train them.

In case you are wondering, of all 4 types, my aro do prefer the jumbo carnisticks.

Just feed as per normal lor..if your aro refuses to take pellets before and you are pellet-training her then maybe you can fast for a few days or maybe even weeks....
