weaning off live?

I use the "tough love" method. I will just feed whatever pellet I want it to eat or whatever, and if he doesn't eat it then he doesn't eat at all. Eventually the hunger forces them to eat it, at which point they realize it actually doesn't taste so bad.
Silly fish, thinking they can win.

Yeh that's how I got my Barramundi onto pellets, I waited a few days just chucking pellets in, then when they took em I continued pellets for a wek, then put a few feeders in, now they have a fairly balanced diet of both feeders and pellets.
Hey all, I had the same question, and I tried the "suck it up buddy" method. Now I have a new question. How long does it take? I waited 4 days then couldn't bear it; went and got some ghost shrimp. Any advice?
You have to wait it out, the problem with this method is that there are some REALLY stubborn fish that will just die. . . one of the risks with it. Another problem is that once a fish gets to the point of being too skinny, it's not always possible to bring it back to proper condition.
