Getting Mandarin to eat pellets

[ashley]

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone can offer me some tips for feeding my Mandarin. I've been training my spotted Mandarin to take prepared foods and so far its going very well. She is taking frozen brine, mysis and bloodworms with gusto. I would like to provide her with a varied diet so I was hoping to get her onto pellets as well.
So far how I;ve been feeding is by grabbing the food with tweezers and holding it up to her. Works great for the frozen foods but pellets don't work so well. She will try whatever I put infront of her(even flakes) but the pellets just don't seem to work for her. She trys it, spits it out, then swims away. Should I just keep at it?

Does anyone have any tips? Or a good pellet to try? I'm using Formula One pellets right now.

Thanks!
