I am using "New Life Spectrum" Marine fish formula pellets.

Some of my fish eat it, some of them just look at the float buy without eating.

When I feed them mysis shrimp or even brine shrimp all my fish go nuts and its a feeding frenzy. :lol:

So my question is, being most of the pellets end up on the sand floor, and all my fish don't eat them, is it worth still feeding pellets?

Should I just feed the shrimp to them, and maybe soak it in Garlic Guard every now and than?

I will say all the pellets that make it to the sand bed, are gone the next day. I have hermit craps, and I know some of the fish pick off them off the sand bed (The ones that eat them).

I also have a Goby that I just put into the tank (Sleeper). He has not been eating yet and it's been two days. I know he is getting adjusted, but what is a good thing for him to be eating? He did come out for the pellets, but I didn't see him eat one. It was my hope he would pick the leftover food off the sand bed. I have live sand that has been in use for 5 months.
 
I would keep using the pellets and just give less of them . I feed my emperor angel and white cheek tank nls 2x a day plus other foods. Imo the nls is the best staple diet you can use .
