I like that above tank filter system....anyhow,are you using sinking pellets that the other fish eat as well? The dats should eventually go after the pellets after observing the others eating them but they may be too young and small to risk starving them for too long in order to train them so you might want to fatten them up for few weeks on blood worms or possibly cut up shrimp or fish.
Keep an eye on them fighting each other as dats tend to do when there are only two kept in a tank.

The shop owner told me they feed the ITs with shrimp and hikari vibra bites.
Btw, before i bought the 2 ITs. I ask the shop owner if i can see them eat hikari vibra bites. The ITs when crazy with it.
Now its like they have amnesia!! Wont eat.
I tried hikari vibra bites, hikari sinking carnivorous pellets mixed with seachem garlic guard.
So stubborn ITs.
I would stick with the vibra bites if you saw them eat them in the shop.Stay the course as the dats are likely still settling in to their new surroundings and should soon begin to eat the familiar food.
