Keep trying on every first feeding of the day.
Mix flakes with meet so they can mix their smell and taste a bit .

Stendkers Black Angel at size 3i start eat on day 43rd.
On day 38th he was trying to eat some microsized stick but then again - nothing.All time T was not higher than 29.0'C/84'F.WCH:daily 9%-15% till once a week 36%.
I'm discus keeper for 43days but like I was saying: if fish arent good -you can try just everything-fish will die.
But if fish are healthy - its cold blooded-once fish will start to eat.

They generally start eating after few days...if they are liking flakes, just moisten them and mix them really well with your meat mix and try it...great suggestion by Filip - skip feeding completely in the evening before and try giving them meat mix the following morning...

Lastly, stop showing them 'pro vegan' ads...:P (Peas!)
