How do I choose between tablets, pellets and flakes for my fish?

Fish food comes in a variety of ways. The dry fish food comes in a couple of different varieties. You've got flake food that typically floats on the surface. You've got really fine granulated food that also floats. That's more for baby fish, for fry, and it's not typically for bigger fish because they can't even see it and it's too small for them to eat, whereas small fish need small food to eat. Then there's pellets that float and there's pellets that sink, and over time the floating pellets, when they're saturated with water, will also sink. It really depends on the type of fish you have. If you've got bottom feeders and a lot of them, you might want to get a type of sinking pellet to go along with your regular pellet or your regular flake food. With bigger fish and bigger mouths; pellets are usually a better way to go.
