Just as the title states, does anyone have any tricks to get floating pellets to sink to the bottom? I've tried soaking, and cutting in half, nothing seems to work. Iv managed to stick a few pellets inside shrimp chunks, but I would like to get more than 2 tiny pellets in my fish at a time. Im feeding Anti-Parasite medicated fish food. Also its for catfish, who (for me at least) refuse to eat off the surface.

I normally soak them and then squish them with my index finger and thumb, to make pellet pancakes.

I bought a cheap syringe to suck the air out of the pellets.

+1 on syringe, easiest, quickest way.
 
Ok great thanks guys. Will try this tonight. Sadly i think one of the two cats is too far gone to be saved, but the other has made an amazing recovery so far.
