I was dropping one fish at a time in to my Mono until he got used to the rhythm. After he became accustomed to the process I started alternating, throwing fish, fish, cube, fish, fish, and so on until I got him to just eat whatever I chucked in there. I slowly worked more and more cubes in the process until he was just taking them. Everything was great until I threw a few feeders in a couple months later as a treat and was never able to get him to go back. It's exactly like quitting smoking for me, after you stop don't go back, it may never happen again.
