I have very little experience feeding pond fish but here are some impressions; Floating food has the advantage of staying up where the fish can see it, but it tends to be dispersed by the wind and can end up along the banks, out of range of larger fish. Fish may also be more shy about coming to the surface than hitting food as it sinks. Sinking pellets aren't effected by wind, but if not eaten in a short period it ends up on the bottom where it may not be eaten. This is wasteful and might also effect water quality. These are guesses and I encourage people with more practical knowledge to add comments.


That's a pretty good assessment of floating vs. sinking food, GW.
