I've had it where fish wouldn't eat pellets, or a certain kind of pellet. Usually the nice expensive, awesome ingredient list ones too. Kind of like feeding kids good, healthy stuff when they'd rather eat a bag of doritos. Once they're hungry enough they may go for them.
Yes Surprisingly my 2 RD's are eating those mini hikari pellets now, took a week for them to start eating eat it, but my GT needs more starving.
I also have a 23-25cm (9inch) Oscar bought it at a LFS, He is not eating pellets but very excited to eat meal worms but i heard that too much meal worms(protein) is not good for him is that true ?

I like floating pellets best for my oscar and severum. I've been using Hikari bio gold+ for years. It's a floating pellet and the gold+ (plus) has probiotics that really helps break down their waste.
IMO, a quality pellet should be the fish's main staple food and then you can supplement with meal worms, shrimp, freeze dried goods, veggies, fruit, etc.

Yes I was told that pellets should be their main diet, I tried starving that Oscar for 2 weeks or so, he eventually tried to eat it but spits it out . I don't know how long can an Oscar go without eating, didn't want him to starve to death so i have just been feeding him meal worms since then.
