well here it goes its been sucessfull for me hope it helps you.
NOTE: this meathod only works if your fish have a instant striking action.
pic 1:
in pic one you see what im using
left; hikari small pellets (so they dont notice the pellets when they eat)
right; subra krill
pic 2:
well you see how i package the krill-pellet combo what i do is to try to put the small pellet's close to the center of the krill and then fold it into a more circular like shape. You dont want too put too many pellets in the krill as for they may reject them due to the amount you put i started small and added on more pellets over time. If your fish dont have a taste for pellets its very rare they wont be pellet eaters straight after the first couple feedings.
pic 3:
in this pic you see how to hold them so the pellets won't come out. simply take 1 krill-pellet combo and drop it in your tank, if you have multiple cichla this will increase the aggressive striking behavior during feeding making a higher chance at eating the food without rejections. it takes time but if your persistant you will be victorious.

this is what should happen if your suscessful when feeding
It took me 1week of 2time a day feedings to ween them off krill too full on pellets.
