I don't see how gars would eat sinking pellets ?
Hikari is great - I use their large pellet - They don't care what kind. Don't overfeed them, though.

That's not a great idea, for a couple of reasons - first, he could swallow gravel by mistake, or worse yet, he could harm his snout by banging against the bottom of the tank, or a rock, etc.
All 60 of my gars will eat off the bottom without any issues. They are fed a variety of different floating and sinking pellets/foods. Any gravel that might be taken with the food is promptly spit out. You're far more likely to have a gar damage it snout if it gets spooked than by eating appropriately sized food items off the bottom.
I'm glad you haven't had any problems. It just isn't something I would recommend.
60 gars ? Holy cow.
