Bro, young aro is easier to be trained taking pellets. But don't overly starve the young fish.

Not easy to train .. Maybe can try stuffing pellets into chop market prawn .. Slowly convert to pellet

That is good idea and I might try this next round as tomorrow if he is still dont eat, i temporary switch back to worms.

*he is crazy about worms, eating non stop.

Worm is live food and additive. Once you give it to Aro, it will never want to eat pellets. If you want to train eating pellets, live food should be avoided. Just my experience.

I gave up after 15 days. It did attempt to eat but eventually still spit it out. After which I started feeding feeders.

Other than the convenience and perhaps less messy since pellets are dry, is there any other benefits to pellet train arowana?

Hi Kazuo.
According to shop, he said pellet has all aro requires vitamins, it can help to beautiful scales color (maybe is sales man talk) and worms is slow on aro digestion which is bad is over feeding.

Not sure does this true.
