Yeah like previously mentioned, a healthy Datnoid will eat anything if its hungry and "motivated" enough. Dont worry about it starving to death. Fish dont eat everyday in the wild. A very healthy fish (with some exceptions of course) can withstand weeks of not feeding.
how do i get my datnoid to eat pellets?

The more you try to convert it, the harder it is. The more you care, the longer the fish would take to convert to pellet feeding.
Best way is to feed its usual food twice a week, and feed pellets everyday (with some tankmates that feed on those pellets

I find beefheart to be more cost effective than pellets. All my fish eat beefheart. There was one indo dat that didn't want to eat the beefheart so I add raw shrimp into the mix and that is what he eats. They are nice and fat. I do give them a treat of freeze dried krill.The reason they started eating beefheart is because of the fact that I have them with bichirs, and that is all I feed the bichirs and the ATF. I tried the Hikari carnivore pellets, but no success. I have to agree that the more you care the longer it takes for them to eat pellets.
you can try starving the dats but pls monitor them. it ain't gonna be easy to train them. good luck.
