I would jst say to keep doing the same thing that you are doing now. At 4 inches he should be fine without food for 10-15 days, and maybe even longer. Once he realizes that that is the only food source he will eat frozen. Getting him on pellets would be much better for him. Just take it one step at a time.
HEELLP my dat is to picky i had to give him ghost shrimp again i havent treid silversides yet but he still wont go with frozen wat must i do???
sell ur fish... j/k! try market shrimp cut into small pieces and dont give in to feeding it what it wants.
This may sound silly and noob. But i used to tie my freeze dried krill on my fishing line with no hook and a split shot to it. And i sinkd it to the bottom and jig it a little and then let it sit. It has worked for my AT Dat but not my NTT yet. For now the AT is actually eating krills now and i dont have to tie the krill onto a fishing line anymore.
same prob but my is one inch i will wait for him to grow then starve then he will be on massivore pellets.
i'm switching my new guys to frozen as well, they seem to like the mysis, just be patient if you have good water quality it shouldnt take long
