My dats and pbass eat 90% raw shrimp with the other 10% being platties,mollies and freeze dried krill. Do I need to eventually get them on pellets or will they get enough of everything from what they are eating. I am glad they are not on live food but I don't feel like I can get them on pellets. I try to stuff pellets in the shrimp when I'm not too lazy

What you should do is drop some in there and see if they react, and if they dont next time drop some shrimp and pellets in there. Sometimes you can trick em that way, but there shouldnt be a problem get in them on pellets. 
Even if you get them onto pellets I think the occassional handful of crickets would be a good treat. It is also fun to watch.
yeah you can. use the starvation method. It takes several times to make it work but it is effective.
