How to train datnoid eat massivore?

no secret, starve them. or put them with aggressive eaters. tin foiled barbs, silver dollars..etc.
I avoid starving. Got all my Dats, even trained NGT & NTT wating massivore. Patience is key. Whatever it is eating currently, marinate it with these pellets. For instance, it only eats frozen bloodworms, marinste some in with the pellets. These stubborn fish will taste, and spit it out the pellets. Eventually, they will swallow the pellets. Then start giving higher ratio of pellets to frozen worms. Finally, it will take pellets alone. Getting them to eat non-living food is a step by step process too: Live feeders>dead feeders>pellets or mp marinated in dead feeders. This is a process, I give in if they are getting thin or haven't eaten for a while. All my opinion. Good luck.

The marinate methid can take many many months to work before they take pure dry pellets.
But it does work.
My wife always says "your mad... Always cutting up prawns anixing bloodworm with stinky pellets, every other night..."
She's just jealous I spend that much time preparing food for my fish 😃

It does take some commitment and patience. But, having other fish, particularly other Dats that already eat Massivore helps as well this process. Good luck, and Ade is always a great resource.
