I've had non pellet trained perch eat pellets along with my feed trained perch. I know this because they were much smaller and therefore hatched in my trophy female only pond. (Made the mistake of sexing perch by urogenital openings). Not 100 percent accurate!
Also have minnow sized perch attacking hydrated pellets. My perch have been pellet trained for over 30 generations.
