Im having trouble pellet training my p-bass. the ONLY thing its eats are rosies. he wont even look at bloodworms or pellets even after a week of not eating...
i had to do the same for my salvinis and jacks when i first got them i just gave them the pellets with the food they were stuck on everytime and every day id use less of the main food they were on an more pellets, after a few days use only pellets and after a while theyll get hungry and eat them
gut load. buy some ghost shrimp. let them eat the pellets then feed them to ur dats. do this for a few days then stop feeding them for a few days, then start dropping pellets in there they will eventually take them!
i never had a jag, but i have a few dats that i pellet trained.
i think you are on the right track. when the dats are fat i would just feed pellets exclusively. it might take days, but as soon as one start eating pellets, others will most likely follow.
you can also give floating stick a try, i have one stuborn NTT that only eats aro sticks.

I don't know a thing about Dats but If they are 2-3 inch predators then they might eat crickets. I trained a 3-4 inch Hujita Gar to eat cichlid pellets by mixing brown cichlid sticks with medium sized crickets. It took some time but it worked. Like I said I know nothing about Dats but hopefully the concept is the same.
