So far he's only accepting guppies but they rest of the tanks is on a mixed diet of guppies tuffies pellets flakes bloodworms and some shrimp. So it's okay. Lol obviously I don't mix that variety daily or weekly just didn't wanna make that sound like it looks haha but I guess guppies will be comming in to the mix a lot more

Does anyone have any tricks to get him to eat pellets or flakes ? Any certain other foods I can try I do have a lot of aggressive eaters in the tank with him though.

One of the better way to convert most fish from live to non is to use teacher fish (a fish that already eats non live food that will eat in front of the live eater) by slowly presenting less live food and more pellets/flakes ect(try not to starve if you can keep from it) and the fish seeing other fish eating the non live food they "should" slowly ween from the live and turn to the avaliable food source.

I would think your best bet is go from blood worms to tilapia to pellets but thats just me
