only 1 of my dats was trained using starve method and this was becuase i kept them in the sump and totally neglected them. one died i think because of lack of food, the other which survived is now quite big.
but i just got myself a new dat, i placed him in my dat , clown loach and severum tank.
not sure if starve method will work for him? he doesnt seem to know pellets are food, and pelets disappear right away in my comm.
i've tried stuffing the pellets into fish and mashing and he does take it. but i'm too busy and dont have time to keep this up. anybody has had success with training in community tank full of pellet eating fish?

I find that comm tank is the best environment to pellet train the fish however there will still have a super stubborn one that refused to take till death do it part......
