my IT and NGT are around 12cm, i've tried few ways but they just wont eat pellet... what should i do?

NGT eats bloodworm and feeder fish, IT only eat feeder fish

they are living with 3 FF, FF is same size as tigers

i've tried

starve them for 2~3 weeks only dropping pellet in there, FF ate all

soak pellet with garlic, they still wont eat

tried
Hikari arowona food
tetra color bit
Hikari massivore


they just wont eat

should i just leave them alone till they eat? what else can i do?

my NGT's stomach is so flat .....

try putting in some silver dollars or w/e fish that eats pellets
it'll learn eventually by seeing others eat pellets
you can try feeding dried shrimp since they look more like "live food"
from there you can switch to pellets
thats how i got my datnoids to switch to pellets
 
give them a good feed now then start the staving again

feed hikari sinking carnivore everyday
if you gave up after 2-3 weeks you was nearly their it will take 4-6 Weeks before they give in
 
Dat's are notorious for becoming spoiled on feeders, so definitely remove those from their diet. Agree with T1KARMANN, hikari sinking carnivore pellets are a good transition. Mine eat them after a few days of starvation.
