Are there any monster fish that has to or will only eat live food?
 
There have been two fish that I've never been able to wean off of live food: my fire eel and an Amazon leaf fish I had.
 
I tried South American leaf fish a couple of times, and was never able to get them to eat anything other than live small fish.
 
Most things can be weaned. Candiru need a live host. Seahorses need live mysis. Other than that, it should be able to be weaned.
 
Ambush preds and tiger rays seem to be the hardest to break IMO....
