I'd go full pellets now and shrimp, fish filet or live as a treat. If that is your end goal then forget the shrimp. I've read shrimp is not good for long term anyway. They're pretty much broken so just stick with the pellets.

Thanks for the input everyone, I'll start the pellet training as of today. Nothing but pellets will go in the tank.

Danny,
The color must have been off in the pics you texted me. In that video they look perfect for tanzaniae to me. The one even has a very vivid blue adipose fin. The other one is not so vivid but it still looks blue to me and we can't forget that there is quite a bit of individual variation between fish.
I have no doubt they are tatf.
PS- Wes getting an ID wrong is like the sun not coming up.

Thanks again Chicx, when in doubt just go to chicxulub for an ID
. Fed my fish this morning, looks like they will all be on pellets in no time. I soaked the carni sticks for a couple of minutes so its somewhat soft, tossed it in the tank. A taft and 2 gatf ate a couple pellets.
Thanks man! I am pretty excited! I definitely think the current has a huge part in it. I tried playing around yesterday with the current and a couple minutes after the power-heads were turned off, the tigers started sparring with each other. What I observed was, larger taft picked on the smaller taft. Larger gatf went after the smaller gatf. And Gatf going after the taft. Definitely keeping the current flowing lol.
Here's a video I just took of my progress on pellet training:

That TFB looks like the belly is going to burst. lol
It goes to show how important it is for these fish to have current. I doubt there could be too much for them. If they were tired I'm sure they would be able to find a slow spot to rest in. It seems to make them more active and less stressed.
