How big are they? If they're babies try brine shrimp. If they're bigger, and were eating feeders before, get them something similar but frozen. Like, some kind of actual frozen fish (silversides, tilapia, etc).

It can take some time (weeks even) to train them to accept non-live food.

prawns stuffed with massivores > massivores.
The one on the left seems slightly skinny but they should eat prawns!

Goodluck

Try prawns. Get them to eat anything even feeders. They look terribly starved

Pellets first of all. If they don't take that , as swarsh says, stuff Massivore in pellets. Or marinate prawns and or pellets in bloodworm. Leave infringe of couple of hours. Then feed the mix.
