I used Massivore, they are sinking pellets.

I've had success with both Hikari Floating Sticks and Massivore. I think it's more a matter of time and dedication than anything else.

I have had nothing but failure getting my 5" IT to eat different dry foods, but about a week ago I bought some freeze dried krill. I let them soak in water for a few minutes, and he would eat them. I let them soak a little less everyday so they would go in a little drier. Tonight I put them in completely dry and he ate them with gusto. Going to try prepared food again in a couple days, since he seems to be okay with crunching the krill. Also, the krill has extremely high protein and lots of other good stuff. Did some research and it looks like you can buy bulk pretty cheap. A kilo for $45. One mfg said to only use for 1/3 of their diet, because protein is 70%.
