get some tilapia or shrimp and stuff it with 1 or 2 pellets, get hiim eating that and them cut the shrimp/tilapia into smaller peices and add more pellets, keep doing this till you you pretty much just feed pellets.....i hope this makes sence
yeah tigs and jurus can be hard to get of live food, how big is your tig? if hes not to small i would starve him for a couple of days, and if this dosent work get a couple of guppies (quarantine them first) and try again later
These are about jurs and not so much pellets but may help:

Do not feed a tig below 10" shrimp or prawn you will kill it as they can't digest sea foods that well when small
Soak the pellets in frozen blood worm over night
Hikari sinking carnivore is the best pellet to start with
Don't panic if it doesn't feed for 14 days this is normal
Tigs also feed in a small area when small you will need to drop food close to its head and feed at night 2 am is a good time

I can't speak for tigs, but I haven't had a fish yet that was too difficult to get off live. 
persistance pays off. Most of the time you have to get over the fear that you are starving your fish to death. I've had large catfish go on hunger strikes for 6 months and didn't lose too much weight even during that stretch. Smaller cats of course won't last months, but even a few weeks I wouldn't be too concerned. Tiny catfish may go for weeks without eating.
