geez liz you dont have to YELL at him. lmfaooooooooooo

if the pellets are disappearing it means somethings eating them. just keep at it with the pellets until they start eating them right away then try feeding them some market shrimp, blood worms, etc to vary there diet, but not until you have them eating a good staple food consistantly.

it took me a while to get my devils to eat pellets, they absolutely love catfish fillets cut into cubes.
 
You could try nothing

Don't feed him for a week or so then when hes good and hungry throw in either

Krill, blood worms, night crawlers and do try crayfish if you can assure you he would eat a live cray fish any time with out starveing him
