Weening my fish off live

From the video, it appears you don't have an issue with feeding.

Unfortunately earlier was a WHOLE different story. This same scenario happened yesterday, I think the first feeding they act very stubborn, then when they realize I walk away and dont feed them, that when i do come back hours later they realize they better eat whats given to them? Just a theory, dont know if fish can think like that, although something tells me they can. I mean, their instinct in the wild tells them to seize any opportunity to gorge themselves due to not knowing when their next meal is..?
 
Weird change of events this morning with feeding. I waited to feed them any more yesterday as I was working to get them anxious to eat. This morning I fed them around 6:45am, cut up 6 chunks of the silversides and warmed them up in warm water. Turned on their lights, they were excited and at the top. Dropped the first chunk in and the larger one ate it right away, second chunk dropped in the smaller guy ate, so far pretty normal, third chunk small guy ate ... okay thats good, drop a 4th in front of the large guy he ignores it, small guy eats it, hmmm... 5th chunk tried the same thing, large guy ignored it, small guy ate it up, dropped in the 6th in front of him and neither would take it. So yesterday my large guy would eat, my small would not. Today total opposite. Im thinking that maybe the smaller one was hungry and realized he better eat, and that the larger one was still maybe full from eating more yesterday? Not quite sure but so far so good. They havent had live since tuesday, so almost a week.
