Talapia, shrimp, hikari carnivore pellets. You can still use your silversides too. Iv never used massivore before so I have no comment on that.

for the spotted pike characin how can i get him to learn to except non live like silversides or will my other preds like the payaras and cudas somewat teach him since they eat nonlive and would hikari cichlid gold be good for the pbass?
Iv never used cichlid gold either sorry. Read the ingredients and compare it to carnivore pellets, if its basicly the same I don't see any reason why you couldn't feed it. As for silversides and other dead/frozen foods, I got my armatus to eat by cutting small long strips (like a natural bait fish), tied some fishing line to a corner (when they take it the line pulls right off the food) and went fishing haha. Literaly fish for your own fish, jig and dangle the food around infront of them. Eventualy they will be hungry enough to take a bite. Also since you have other fish that already accept non live foods, they can "teach" your other fish to eat by observation.
Just keep trying, no animal will willingly starve itself to death unless there is an underlying problem like disease's and etc.
