Hi, never had this problem - mine eats anything and everything I give him/her - s/he is about 11" (grown from a 3" baby) and shares a tank with an Oscar and common plecs.
Currently eat algae wafers, large pellets, bits of prawn (not too often as information online suggestes a more vegetarian diet). Also nibbles cucumber when I feed this to the plecs. What other fish do you have with them? My current fish is much calmer than most cigar sharks that I have known, and I put this down to having a very tame and calm Oscar with him.

You could try floating pellets - mine is partial to the large cichlid gold pellets that I sometimes feed Oscar - I just pop a few in at opposite ends of the tank as I've found mine won't compete for food as they are quite shy fish and do spook easily if you're not careful. Could also try veg. based floating pellets as an alternative.
