I want to get my anthia eating pellets. Should I use floating or sinking?

Floating, Anthia are attracted to items moving within the water column, not picking them off the bottom of the tank. Mix them with your regular feeding and the fish might get the idea.

I have found most sinking pellets to maintain enough buoyancy to not immediately sink, especially if it is in the flow. Once the fish are used to this method they will eat all the pellets before they reach the substrate.
