Sounds good variety is a good thing. Although it does depend on the species you are feeding.

I agree, and all that meat is great but try giving them tidbits of citrus fruit, a bit of seaweed, or a couple shelled peas every now and then. They may or may not take it depending on the species, but the variety will be good for them if they do.
 
Your fish would be perfectly fine if you fed nothing but the NLS pellets. When I first got my fish, I wanted to feed everything under the sun. My cabinet and freezer were stuffed with 654394594 different fish foods, and human foods that I used as fish foods. But if you feed a high quality pellet that's formulated to be nutritionally complete, that's really all you need. "Variety" and "boredom" when it comes to food are human concepts that we try to apply to our fish, IMO.
 
Well I've had better colors with feeding them shrimp and worms..My girl friend just bought some octopus clams more seafood,as I said before..
What friut kind of is the best to give them?
I have a JD,GT,FM,GEO!!
