    Maybe they are tank raised and were only fed pellets.

    maybe try putting a few scraps of meat (or whatever you want to feed them) in with the pellets? Maybe they'll snap it up by accident and eventually learn to like it. Worth a try anyway.

    When I first got my clown fish all they would eat is frozen brine; now they scarf up anything I put in there.
