Poly's Dont Want To Eat Massivore Pallets

Massivores have a strong odor. Maybe break them up before inserting them into the cut pieces of fish or shrimp.
Mine have always taken them since they were little. I just broke them into fourths and gave them it. They love it!
I would start with smaller soft sinking pellets like HBH or whatever you have there. I've never had a poly refuse them for very long. And after they're eating that, try something a little larger like Hikari Sinking Carnivore (basically mini massivore). As was said, massivore is probably too large for the sens, but as was also said, you can cut it in pieces, too. You could also try soaking in garlic.
here's a solution. don't give in to them or yourself.
also dont rub the pellets with shrimps or whatnot to make them smell like shrimp.
you want them to smell the pellet and eat the pellet.
in order to do that you need to make them hungry and give them no choice.
so the simplest is to starve them for about 5 days and after that throw in a pellet or two. no reaction? another 5 days and so on.
It always works for me.
besides 1 massivore diet contains the calorie of 1 and a half GF!

Im currently using sinking pellets. They take em readily. Gonna switch to Massivore once they are alittle bigger. And massivore are also meant for bichirs, see the beautiful endi on the cover? Just below the RTC. And to OP, just starve them, they can go for a very long time without food. Quite stubborn creatures bichirs are, but their hunger would overcome their stubborness eventually
I throw in a mix of full Massivore and quartered massivore in my juvi tank.
Here My Albino Sene will only eat whole massivore.(Doesn't touch Carni or broken massi):
The same goes for my juvi Endli:
Whereas my juvi Ansorgii will not touch whole massivore or carni, only broken massivore will do!:
Keep at it. They won't starve themselves to death.
