Goldfish and Sinking Pellets What to feed him?

I have a fantail about 1.5 inches long, who I have been feeding sinking pellets to prevent swim bladder problems. Today I noticed that when I feed him he grabs one or two pellets as they float down to the bottom then he never tries to get them from the bottom of the tank. I'm concerned he wont eat enough. I tried some flakes from my tropical fish and he wouldn't go to the top either. What should I feed him or should I assume he just wasn't hungry today?

I have got some goldfish and I notice that most of the time they swim in mid-water. I give them 6 frozen blocks of bloodworm and they eat some while it is sinking but when it sinks to the bottom....they dont bother with them. Then i give them 6 blocks of frozen daphnia and they eat a lot of that because it's slow sinking.

Sometimes when I go near their tank they all swim to the surface and I just drop a pinch of veg based flakes and they like that.

As well as a couple of plastic plants I put in their tank a couple of bunches of cabomba plants and they nibbled them to pieces,but I dont mind because every day they're looking fat and healthy.

Perhaps you could do the same as me and your fantail will be normal.
