I currently have a 4.5" GATF that I purchased off a guy on here and it was only fed feeders. And I'm trying to break him off and get him onto pellets. Well I've had no luck, I got him last Monday and I haven't (seen) him eat any pellets. (Carnisticks & Massivore) I have him in with a 6" VATF and 5 Tinfoil Barbs and they are all eating carnisticks and massivore. My Vittatus only took 5 days to break when I got him at 4" and now he's slamming down 6-8 carnisticks a day.

So what should I try/do next? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well it's been 8 days now... He's at the stage where he looks at the pellets and will swim at them and then stop without eating them.

9 days....when I throw the pellets in all the other fish will swim over to them and the Goliath will go to the other side of the tank.

He gave up on the 12th days! It's feeders for life! The fish will have new owner soon! (not me) :D

I had a feeling he would eventually die because he didn't even look at the pellets anymore. I also tried shrimp and talapia and he would just swim away. He is pending for pickup tomorrow.
