I would not feed them for a day or two until they accept pellets
Your getting them used to just eating the worms only
Once they settled and hungry enough they should eat for you

I've fed them bloodworm twice since Saturday today being the second time
Thanks for the advice I'll not feed until Saturday see how it goes
 
Starve the little guys until they're hungry. Flowerhorns are pigs. When they are hungry they will eat. I just went through that with one of mine. My wife got it hooked on eating nightcrawlers.... and for around 2-3 weeks that's all he wanted to eat. So eventually I cut him back on feedings and gave him pellets once a day. Hes eating good on his original diet 2-3 time a day now. You're not going to hurt those fish if they go a couple days without eating
