Anything? They are HUGE pigs
I feed mine:
Tetra Colour Bits and Flakes
Veggie flakes
Bug Bites
Xtreme Big Fella pellets
Shrimp pellets
NLS pellets
Crickets (they freaking LOVE crickets)
They love Australian Freeze Dried Blackworms
Freeze dried and frozen brine shrimp
Frozen blood worms
Algae wafers they steal from my plecos
Veggies, they pick at whatever veggies I feed my plecos

Thanks for your suggestions..
do u have any experience with NLS float pellets? Or sinking pellets are better?

I am thinking of NLS float + frozen shrimp + frozen bloodworms +hikari cichlid gold. Will these food be enuf for proper nutrition and holding of the yellow and red color?

My guys like floating and sinking, so a mix of the two would be good for them. Don't forget to add a bit of veg now and then, such as chopped frozen peas or veggie flakes. I feed all my fish a bit of veg. It's healthy for the digestion.

I've only ever used sinking pellets by NLS, but you can't go wrong with any NLS pellets.

There are also foods made specifically with colour in mind, so you could try some of those.
