A couple of rookie questions

[djlamonica]

I have only been collecting fish for about 4 months now and have a couple questions I havent been able to figure out through research and lfs everyone has there own opinion and I want yours!

60 g tall
1 silver hatchet
3 dalmation mollys
3clown loaches
1 yoyo loach
1 clown pleco
2 guppies
1 electric blue jd

I know this tank doesn't make sense an I'm doing many things wrong and Im going to fix the issues when I get some more tanks up

55g
5 acei
4 neon jewels
5 yellow labs

20 tall
12 tiger barbs

10 g planted no fish

Anyways my question is this I have 4 different types of food tetra goldfish flakes API tropical community fish cichlid excel pellets by hilarious and frozen blood worms

I like to mix these up in my tanks every so often in fact no buddy is really particular on the pellets or blood worm ll three tanks love the flake particularly the gold fish flakes. Should I continue to mix it up? Should I g
feed them what they like best? Or should I strictly feed them there on thing? Will this harm them?

Thank love th community here

Its always best to feed them a variety, id maybe add tropical flakes or instead of the goldfish flakes but it sounds fine

Get a quality food like NLS and just feed it to everyone. No need for variety then and it will be much healthier for them.

^^AGREE^^
I have fed all my fish Oscar pellets at one time or another. There is a lot of nutritional value in a food made for larger fish like Oscars. Just be careful not to feed a food high in protein to goldfish and certain African rift lake cichlids. You can give these fish bloat.
Dont forget people food either! Lettuce, cuccumber, zucchini, peas(shelled) and beef heart are all good food for fish. And dont forget bugs, worms and yes, even smaller fish.

I feed NLS Thera A 1mm and Thera A 3mm to all of my juvenile/adult fish. Fry are fed NLS .5mm Small Fish Formula. The basic formula is the same. The only thing you need to do is pick a pellet size they can adequately swallow.
