Hi I'm looking for fish foods without any kind of meat products in them. Also if anyone has any ideas for supplement instead of meat to awnser nutritional needs of omnivore fish.
Thank you
Thank you

If you mean foods that contain no terrestrial meat products like beef, chicken, etc. then bravo! Any decent quality food uses aquatic animal protein rather than terrestrial, just check the ingredients.
If you mean you wish to feed carnivorous or omnivorous fish species a completely non-animal-protein diet, I've got nothing. Making that choice for your own diet for your own reasons is one thing; consciously deciding to keep fish or other animals that have evolved to utilize significant amounts of animal protein and then denying them that dietary element is, IMHO, something altogether different and completely unethical. If you don't wish to feed animal protein...then keep animals that have evolved not to need it...rather than attempting to create "vegan predators" to suit some personal moral standard.

I mean the 2nd and I'm doing research. I dont mean to harm any fish, and I'm looking for it for omnivores not carnivores.
There's a number of higher quality foods that use fish, squid, krill etc. as proteins, not terrestrial animal proteins. Look at the NLS and Northfin foods, for example.
That's not what I'm looking for.. I'm looking for no meat at all, not fish nor invertebrates.
This is not vegeterian at all it contains fish and invert.. look at the ingridients
To put it bluntly, it you want your fish to survive, you’d give them what they need to survive.
It’s no different than any other animal, lion, tiger, or even a dog. It has evolved to eat meat, and will die without it.
Even for omnivores, it isn’t like meat or plant matter is optional, they need both in their diets. Even most herbivores are going to take in small amounts of meat one way or another (though often on accident).
If you don’t want to feed any meat, get fish that can survive solely without any, don’t try to push other species to eat how they wouldn’t.
The foods you’re looking for don’t exist short of prepping it yourself with just algae and plants.

...and for good reason.
Your opening post contains this ludicrously contradictory sentence ^. You should read this again and again until it sinks in.
Omnivores, by definition, have both animal and plant matter in their diet. To "answer nutritional needs of omnivore fish" means exactly that, provide BOTH!!
Your fish are not there for you to practice stupid human fad diets on them. Give them what they need to stay healthy.
