I am a green terror fan my self, I understand your frustration... when I bought my green terrors they would not eat anything. The probable cause is that they were being fed something other that what you feed them, hence they do not recognize food. I put them with my Malawi cichlids, and looking at those fish eat, they came to recognize their food.
You can try putting them in a tank of similar sized cichlids. During feeding time put lots of extra food so the green terrors can watch other fish eat and have food left over for them selves. After about half an hour remove all excess food.
Try this process for a few feeding sessions till they learn. This is what actually worked for me. I feed fish tubifex worms, cichlid pellets and flakes. a little bit of each during each feeding session.
let me know if this helpe

You can try frozen Blood Worms also, get a small cup with some tank water and put a cube in there to desolve. Then poor the thawed BW into the tank. This has been a great feed for me because the BW spread around and give all the fish room to eat. You are always best to ask what the lfs feeds when you get them.
Good luck.
Good luck.
yeah a few updates
I got tired of pursuing my GT to eat.
i didnt feed it anything for 2 days.
then i tried live blood worms and they ate as if they had never eaten in their lives.
i asked the LFS and he told me that those fish had been taken directly from a pond.
so there was a little problem but now everything is fine
thanks for ur advices friends
