there are many brands of pellets, some that sink slower then others. When the pellets hit the base of your tank the fish should still go after them if the fish have been trained on pellets. However if the fish have not been trained to eat pellets you will slowly have to train them to (in the beginning mix only a few pellets with the frozen food you feed because they may not eat any of the pellets). As you see your fish eating a bit of the pellets then slowly increase the amount of pellets and decrease the amount of frozen food during feedings. I have had fish that have taken over a month to finally start eating pellets, and others have never been able to get their fish to eat pellets.
I have never tryed flake foods, but I know from my fw days they tend to sink slowly, so you can think of trying them (I don't know how good or bad they are for tank parameters).
