In general I think you should be fine- a lot of us feed our fish frozen seafood- but we also usually stuff it with pellets. What specific fish are you using though?

Since they are still so small, just keep feeding them what they will eat, but keep introducing new food in small quantity until they figure out that its edible and/or they like it. I would personally, get a hypodermic syringe and inject the fillet with some liquid vitamins. Once they get to about 3inches and nice and fat, start trying to convert them to pellets. GL
