Very similar to starting fish to eat pellets by using freeze dried krill-it's not fish meal. I have a hell of a time getting fish to move from krill meal base to fish meal. Same thing is happening to you.
Curious Snipe. What is the "typical" transition time for this. A week, 3 weeks...more?
I think SMB are the hardest of what I train, to get them to switch over and it usually takes me 2-3 weeks to get them to swap and probably 4 weeks to be very aggressive to fish meal pellets.
Using Cody's method will probably cut that time substantially.
My YP will be eating anything I throw at them in a week, they don't spit anything out.
My RES have trained very well to pellets. i start with 3, then 4 and start mixing G3 in. They eat all as well.
