Week 3.5 of EAT PELLETS OR DIE

You might remember me from a previous post, where I describe my grow out tank where 3 out of 5 datnoids are on Carnivore pellets, but 2 NTTs would not bother. The ones eating the pellets are Indos. The NTTs were too small at the time of my post to start the EAT or die program, but once they reached 3 inches, I was comfortable doing it. Well.. it's now week 3.5 and they are very skinny. Still active and show no signs of illness, but they don't seem to be caving. My Indos gobble up pellets 2 times a day in front of them, but all they would do is go sniffing at the pellets.

Thoughts? Should I keep going? Should I let them eat bloodworms for now and start up again in a few weeks?

thanks guys, I'm going to keep going at it. If I cave, I'll take the advice on shrimp. Just wanted to mention that I had tried shrimp before the EAT or DIE method, but they won't take it. Only do live or dead bloodworms.

I'll keep everyone posted so people can learn from my success or failure.
