Sinking Fish Food

[coolfishfan]

Currently I am feeding my fish Tetra Bits fish food which has 70% of food sinking and the rest float on the top surface.
 
I am looking for a fish food that sinks 100%.
 
Please suggest me the best sinking fish food brand(not too expensive) for my parrots and gold fish.
 
Thanks.

For my catfish I use Spirulina Granules, however for your goldfish, you could try pond sinking pellets (come in different sizes, you probably need the smallest). I have here a kilo bag of aqua nutrition "SINKING PELLETS"

Have you tried cichlid pellets also, for your parrot. Lots to choose from and if you want to compromise on price then aim somewhere in the middle. Would be a good medium as you get what you pay for

The other thing you can do, to save money on a budget is buy the "big bag" pellets for ponds (buy good quality protein ones though)
and then put the pellets in a pepper grinder. The small pieces still sink.
If you do this label the pepper grinder "fish food".
One day my mate came round with his fish 'n chips and shouted to me from the other room have I got salt and vinegar, and when I came back
he was eating cod with ground up fish pellets all over it, with a bit of a puzzled look on his face.
