My female clown loves it and chases it down. But I can only put 1 or 2 pellets at a time because of how fast they sink. If the pellet is too big she lets it sink. But if she's desperate and it lands on a mushroom she'll pick it off but normally once it hits a certain level in the tank she lets it sink. My male clown will eat it as well but he only wants the really tiny tiny pellets. My shrimp loves them and so do the hermits. So I don't use it too often because I have to sort out the pellet sizes. And then drop one in the front where the female will get it and then sneak the smaller ones to the back where the male can get a couple if I can keep Sweetie's attention in the front.
