I am purchasing fish food pellets for my frontosa and kkp I need good quality fish food available for me I live in India so I don't get wide variety of food I feeding my frontosa north fin and those pellets are hard and they don't seem to like it
 
How many times are you gonna ask the same question man. Northfin is about as good as it gets and is what most on here would reccomend.
 
For a hard pellet, sometimes going smaller makes a difference, makes pellets easier to swallow. Don't know what's available in your area. My kapampa gibberosa were mostly fed on Omega One shrimp pellets and NLS for years, until Omega One cheapened their formula. Years ago I also fed them HBH soft krill pellets and soft spirulina pellets and they liked these quite well, but had better color on NLS or Omega One (before Omega changed their formula).

...another food my gibberosa liked and did well on was freeze dried mysis (in addition to a pellet) --mine have never been shy about taking food from the surface, including sinking pellets before they sink.
 
Agree with neutrino, what size are the fish, what size are the pellets, and what else do you feed? Pellet size can make a HUGE difference, especially with harder pellets. I raised all of my Africans on NLS, and my KKP also eats NLS, and anything else I toss in the tank. lol

On a side note, I also noticed that Omega has cheapened their shrimp pellets, last year sometime I believe.

Maybe you're feeding too much if nls turns your water Brown and there's leftovers. I'm a heavy feeder and I've never seen nls change the water color. Anything not eaten should be scooped out.
