I have been trying to get mine on pellets now for 6 months to no avail. I have him eating out of my hand with wax worms, but he will just spit out the pellets when he accidentally takes it thinking it is a wax worm. I even try starving him for a few days and it doesn't work. I have tried small pieces of raw shrimp and he spits it out. Stubborn fish!
Come to norcal and ill show you some places
