Sometimes my fish food sinks to the bottom (like 1 pellet and one small piece of Fluval bug bites) without my fish noticing. Do I have to take it out of the tank? I usually just don't feed the amount of food that sank to my fish.

This usually only happens once a week with a very small amount of food. It's also a pain to get the food out since I use a gravel vacuum and it sucks out a lot of the water every time. :/ Any advice on removing food from the substrate? (should I get a net or something else?)
 
You could try something like a turkey baster to take the uneaten food pieces out.
