here is what i did
i tied a sinking pellet to a piece of fishing line and moved it around so it got his attention and then lead him up to the top and when he starts to go after it drop another pellets in and he slammed it.
now he will eat them when they fall by his face.
 
fully pellet trained!! ate 9 pellets this morning with all the other fish. i am AMAZED he was that easy to train.
for all you non believers i will try to get a vid up soon.
he is on sinking cichlid gold pellets right now.
