sinking pellet food?-General Reef Topics-3reef Forums

Can anyone recommend a good sinking, pellet food? My new wheeler's goby has picked the most bloody inconvenient spot in the tank to call home (in the rocks UNDER the overflow box so spot feeding him is a pain in the arse). He's starting to venture up off the bottom to grab the random flake or piece of mysis, but with the wrasse, gramma and clown for competition I want to give him a fighting chance.
Thanks muchly and happy Friday!

When we need to use pellets, we prefer to use the Omega One brand.

Thanks, all! So are all of you saying that you tend to stay away from sinking pellets?

Formula 2 pellets, though I don't condone using sinking pellets! They contain too much phosphates and nitrates and could lead to declining water parameters!

I don't see any real need for them as most food will eventually sink to the bottom of your tank. Hunger is a great motivator so if your fish finds that it's not getting enough to eat in it's current location, it will relocate
