Dry food that stays in water column?

[somebloke]

I have substantial flow and am looking for a dry food that will neither sink nor float, that has a buoyancy in a range that, with flow, will keep it in the water column (moving throughout the tank, not just "surfing" along the substrate).

My Carberryi show little interest in floating or sinking food on the substrate, but they will dabble in things moving about.

Recommendations?

I just use regular flake foods. I pinch some out of the container and I put my fingers a bit into the water when I let go.

The wave action in the water keeps it all suspended.

sinking pellet. goes to the bottom for inverts and fish that browse.

I'm using New Life Spectrum pellets and when my wavemakers are running they'll stay suspended for minutes.

yep... sinking pellets along with the powerheads should keep it moving around..

A perfectly neutrally buoyant food just isn't going to happen...

I find both sinking pellets and flake are pretty good if you have decent flow. If you feed enough that the stuff hits the bottom, just feed over the course of 30 seconds or whatever rather than dumping a big load in at once, however if you have some critters on the bottom this is actually a good thing (to a point). Also agree with breaking the surface and releasing the food a bit below.
