I feed mine a mix of raw organic chicken, beef, and hikari sinking carnivore pellets.

Not a good diet, it will eat this and grow fast and large and fat, but with consequences such as fat clogging the fishes liver. You are giving your poly the American diet, and are most likely shortening its life. How often do polys in the wild come across chicken and cow? Switch to a high quality pellet

I would be willing to bet they will take pellets... Especially a carnivore type...

Mine are young and eat anything... I feed them hikari carnivore, NLS, omega shrimp pellets and live ghost shrimps occasionally

Bull****.I bet they don't see pellets much in the wild either. There is no way you are doing anything but guessing. Protein is protein. Feeding fresh, lean, organic chicken is less healthy than freeze dried, chemically preserved fish meal?
 
Actually I disagree with both of you. IMO feeding mammal meat is the worst you can do! Pellets are nutritionally a lot better but pellets don't occur in nature either. I feed my polys what they find in nature - crustaceans and the occasional fish, but pellets are very good, too.
