What are the healthiest foods that are best for the fish immune system and strength? Right now I am feeding freeze dried brine shrimp, 12 pinhead crickets once a week and a tetra pellet for colour enhancement, share your regimens to help me and others give their prized fish a beneficial diet :)

You should switch from Tetra pellets to a better quality pellets (New Life Spectrum, Omega one, etc). FD shrimps don't have a lot of nutritional values, and crickets are nutritionally poor. High quality pellets should the main staple with shrimp and crickets as weekly treats.

How about fish fillet and shrimp (frozen from grocery store) once or twice a week?

I feed my Silver Aro Tilapia and Flakes mostly but sometimes Wild Caught feeders and occasionally tad poles.

To OP, if you want to go this route, you definitely want to quarantine and treat for parasites first just like store bought feeders.
