What to feed juvenile green neon tetras?

I added 9 green neon tetras to my 29 gallon tank. They're about 1/2 to 2/3 inch. I tried them on NF community pellets (0.5 mm) and H Fancy Guppy. (Is it okay to mention brand names?) They kind of mouthed the guppy feed and spat it out. They showed no interest in the community pellets. Are these foods too big? Or is there a brand/type they would prefer?  I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.

Parameters: Ammonia: 0 / 0Nitrite: 0 / Nitrate 10 PPM / pH 7.4

I had some similar sized kubotai rasboras I got a month or two ago and had similar issues with my nano pellets.  I got them to eat flake I ground up between my fingers (Xtreme was hard to get small enough but some Bug Bites color flakes worked great) as well as some Hikari First Bites.   I got some co-op fry food in a bottle which they liked as well but the other options should be available at an LFS near you.
