feeding live sw or not?

i used to feed my red aro with MP for 2 yrs, i found slow growth, so i start to feed sw. i will freeze it for 15mins then defrost and rinse it. i feed around 12 sw twice a day, my red aro is about 18". is it too much?
what is the good and bad of feeding live or dead sw???
 
If your goal is to grow your fish up super fast then that might be good, but 24 super worms a day seems like a lot to me, so maybe cut it down a bit.

Although a word of caution, your fish will develop a lot nicer if you allow for slow growth and suppliment it's diet with lots of color enhancing food. Although I do feed super worms quite often, they more of a snack then a meal. Most of my arowana are fed a mixture of krill, blood worms, color enhancing pellets, massivore pellets, market shrimp, on a regular basis. These foods help enhance red and gold coloring, and I have found quite the difference once I started feeding my fish this way.

Good Luck,

Also, live supers are fine, they are a bit bigger so fish have to chomp on them a bit, they usually get crushed in the fish mouth before they swallow.
