My fish won't eat - new food

Last year I had a 35 gal. pond with 2 feeder gold fish, they died after about a month(poor pond set up on my part). This year I have installed a new pond about 730 gal. I bought 5 fish in the beginning 2 died I installed a skippy filter and when the water cleared I bought 3 more fish. They are now 3 to 6 in. and all seemed to be going well until now. I have been feeding them the pond fish food sticks that I had leftover from last year. I ran out and went back to get more and they don't sell the sticks anymore, so I bought the pond fish food that they sold, it is little balls. My fish will not eat it and it has been 3 days. I feed them the first 2 days but not today because all the food is sitting at the bottom of the pond. Will they eventually discover it is food and start eating? Should I keep feeding or wait until they have started eating the food that is on the bottom?
