I have pellet trained many fish. And lost many fish due to starvation. I'm getting the hang of it. But as for your method I will keep it in mind. Is yours a jumper?

No,I have 2 in a 125g soon to go in a 210g and neither one jump. The bigger of the 2 gets excited when he sees people, he expects food. The smaller one is a little more skittish, but he is definitely getting better the longer I have him. They seem to like each other's company. There is also 2 ornate bichir, 1 rescue red shoulder sevrum, and a breeding pair of pink convicts that are going in a different tank when I move the gar to the 210g.
My gar are 12" and 10", the bichir are 7"&8", the others are full grown.

This new gar is about 5-6 inches. I want to put him in my big tank... But I'm afraid it'll get eaten by my oscars...

my gar that ive had many years eats nothing but pellets. he was eating dead fish from the shop when i got him and i cant even remember how i got him to eat pellets its so long ago.
im quite shocked that someone replied that a gar (a natural predator ) wont try to eat a small fish that could potentially fit into its mouth ( a cichlid ). congrats to that person.
fortunately there are some helpful posts here though so ill keep reading with interest and and try and sift through the unhelpful replies in the hope of advancing my own knowledge.
i currently have on small gar that eats anything and one who wont eat anything at all atm as well as one that is years old eating pellets. so it will be interesting to read this thread.
thanks for posting

Mine does a lot during feeding time. it's over 16" long and will bite my jack dempsey, jaguar, and parrot cichlid. He only does if the cichlids are trying to get the gars food but he still takes big chunks of their fins off.
