Is it better to feed tropical fish flakes or pellets? Or does it make no difference at all!?

It really comes down to the feeding habits of the fish and the competition for the food.
Some fish scavenge food from the bottom, so sinking pellets would help get the food to them...
Some fish, like koi, if feed flakes would take all day to obtain the nutrition and in the feeding frenzy the flakes would be pulverized and dissolve.
Some things to consider...

Good advice from MediaHound! It is also good not to use cheap fish food. It can cloud the water and cause more of a problem then if you bought better quality. I see it as dog and cat food. Ol'Roy verses Iams.
