Umm...I haven't seen any, at least here in Canada. But there's a way to make your current pellets sink. You have to wet a bunch of them, then let them dry or use a blow dryer to make the job faster, but make sure you move them around constantly while you dry them so you don't get many that are stuck together. I don't know if it's worth the trouble but..

I've found this out cuz lately I combine my pellets with calcium powder and have to wet them so that the powder sticks to them. Whenever I put them in the water now, they sink right to the bottom.
