NLS. New Life Spectrum. I would also like to commend you on your decorations. The multi colored gravel! Tree with flowers! Oh, and the sponge bob decor! AMAZING! Your fish must feel right at home in nature!
Nls is great, I also use hikari bio gold as staples in the diet of my fish
Hikari is a good and pretty cheap staple.
Bloodworms, live food, NLS, other frozen foods, fresh shrimp/fish, and fresh veggies are all good for various things.
Shrimp improve reds, veggies usually help with blues and greens but some have red stuff in them (terminology is awful)
If live food dont use feeders, breed Jewels or Cons. Live food is more natural and has nutrients.

Btw, a plainer colored decor system will help show off the colors better. The bright colors dont contrast well, and the fish also may not feel completely secure on it which could mean color dulling. A black gravel with driftwood and (fake) plants will be more natural and complimentary.
Talking about nature with a flower horn avatar lol.
I would some frozen stuff in there. I don't know if it actually helps with color but I'm sure they'll enjoy a treat from time to time.
