My six line will eat anything, and is a fat pig. However, he will not eat NLS pellets, neither do my tangs. My PJ cardinals do, though.

My starry is 4" long and sixline is just under 2". I'm feeding them flakes mysis brine shrimp and rods food. I just want to add one more variety. I'll gve them a try.
Do they sink slowly or floats?

Some will float on the top for awhile, but the majority of them should sink slowly to the bottom. I usually soak the pellets in a cup of water for about five minutes before I feed them. This softens them up a little and makes it a little bit easier for the fish to eat.

Ok thanks that's a good idea.
