My GT suddenly decided not to eat pellets. He won't even go near the pellets when I drop them. But he would eat bloodworms and live feeders (endlers that I breed). He is about 5" and is housed with 2 BPs, a Severum, a few plecos and some loaches. He is the boss of the tank and nobody messes with him.
Why do you think he won't eat the pellets anymore? I have both Hikari and NLS pellets and all the other fishes love eating those. He used to love the pellets so I am worried there might be something wrong going on with him.
 
Don't offer him the frozen or feeders any more. He won't starve himself if he is I fact healthy. It might take a couple a days but he will accept them again.

It's not that big a deal provided he don't have any illness.

Feeding feeders will also increase his aggression. So keep an eye on him as that's about the size many larger SA/CA cichlids will start to flip out.

Good luck.
