Baby pbass eating pellets :)!!!!!!!!

- Start date
Mine eat bloodworms so I started crushing bits of pellets and mix it with the blood worms, after a couple days of doing this one of my pbass started eating little peices of pellets.
Many people have tried and failed at getting them to eat anything other than live. I really would like to see through an experiment whether there growth is changed in any way.
Mine all eat pellets. Pellet training takes time, you gotta be patient and be willing to put in the hours.
I bought three monos at the same time all the same size. One started eating Hikari carnivor pellets right away, one a few weeks later, the last still will not eat pellets but gets feed at the same time and larger amounts. The biggest is the one who started eating pellets first at 11" now, the second biggest is the second to eat pellets at 9", and the one who will not eat pellets a wopping 6".
I was under the impression no fish would starve themselves and they would eventually start eating the pellets you put in. Any thoughts on this? I just got a mono maybe two weeks ago and he was apparently already eating pellets. Well he doesn't seem interested in baby cichlid pellets. I've seen him take bites but I think he usually spits them out. He's eaten a few flakes but usually not many. Goes crazy for blood worms though. I've just been feeding the tank normally and assumed he would eventually get hungry enough to start eating the flakes and pellets.
Is this logical or will Peacock Bass actually starve themselves too death? Didn't think any fish would starve themselves to death if you added food regularly I assumed they would eventually adapt and start eating it.

try mashing in pellets with the bloodworms to get them used to the flavor. Then slowly start reducing the amount of bloodworms and increasing amount of pellets.
