@Opexmans yep, its healthy for them, usually better than most feeders available at the local lfs. and it lessens the chances of them getting sick, if the the feeder is sick, your fish eats it, very likely your fish will be come ill. also, because its less fat, more protein than feeder, drop eye goes down as well. plus, if they have to chase live food, they could get damaged eyes or barbels.
@Spit56fIre yeah, this is an old vid, and my new filter is working great. the water quality was not bad at all. water does not have to be clear to be good. my tanks are always tested daily, and water changed weekly. most of what you see is bad light and no background, other than my dull white walls. and maybe a small amount of fine particulate in the water, but nothing bad. thanks for the comment. check out my newer vids.
@maneherrera14 thank you very much. it was just a matter of slowly introducing them during feedings, till i got to the point that he was eating just pellets, and going after them just as he would live feed. i plan on getting another one soon.
@irbenson yeah, i think clown loaches are awesome, i had some a while back...very cool fish, lots of personality, but, i fear, they're temperment may not be agro enough, and it might be hard to find one thats already large.....thanks for the suggestion though.
@chengaun thank you sir. i was thinking that too, i wanted to get a smaller aro, but after some research decided i prob shouldnt do that....he might kill it.
is it really good to feed pellets for arowanas, because arowanas usually dont eat it., are u sure about this?

Nice fish, but your water quality is not very good, with all those filters your water should be crystal clear?
