At least they are interested. That only mean they are very close to taking it. I wouldn't starve then for more then 5days. Like I said try the krills. Or even bloodworms. But of urs is starving for 9 days. I would just do one try and if that don't work give in I blackworms and fatten then up first ad then repeat the process. Gluck to u too man.

Second day feeding my two bass blood worms, trying to fatten them up first like you said. I've been doing once a day feeding of one cube, they are 4 babies. Do u think that's enough? And today I tried mixing krill with it but they weren't having it lol

How small ? I've had a 1inch Orino ate krill after 3days. But yea fatten them up first and then go all krill only for 2-3days or even pellets if ur doing bloodworms. When u put the krill or pellets. Put one small piece at a time. Make sure they are hungry when doing so

This is the technique I am going to use on my monos I just got. Only I will use freeze dried plankton, it's worked well for me on other types of fish so hopefully it works on the pbass. I was planning on using this method from the get go but they came in really skinny so I'm fattening them up with guppies for a week or so before I try and switch them.
 
I have 4 pbass 2 1inch and 2 3inch starve them for 3 weeks. That's right 3 weeks. The little one eats everything now and 1 of the two bigger eats everything too. Only 1 left not eating for 3 weeks. 25 days without eating.

Easiest way: Don't feed anything but pellets to the whole tank.
First food you give them in your tank is pellets, don't even let them smell bloodworms or anything else.
Have one fish that takes pellets in the tank and they will see/learn how to.

Always has worked for me, in fact, got a group of small 2inch bass in this morning and all are happily eating pellets.
Fed them 3 times already cleared all.
They were fed bloodworm/river shrimp at the store :)
