When getting my fish onto pellets i tend to mix a few pellets with the mysis or whatever they are eating (and i coat everything with the tropic marin suppliments), and then every few days I put more pellets and less of the frozen foods, till in the end I am only feeding pellets. I have heard that starving the fish for a bit and then feeding pellets can also have success, but I've never tried it.

Ya, I do that same as Trigger Man; mix frozen with pellets, and they usually end up grabbing onto some of the pellets, and slowly start taking them. When transitioning fish to new foods I also like to soak all the foods in garlic to help entice them, and also so they hopefully don't notice the taste difference so much.
