In your opinion. I prefer to feed mainly a variety of frozen or live foods with the occasional cichlid pellets because it seems the most natural and best for them, but are there vitamins etc that they can't get from the meaty foods?

I fed mine high quality flakes everyday with frozen bloodworms/brine shrimp a couple times a week. I also fed a variety of pellets and live foods. They esp loved moths, grasshoppers, baby crickets and mosquito larvae.
At the moment I've only given them guppy fry which I breed in a spare tank, but I've just found an lfs that stocks a few different live worms and such so I'll give them a go soon.
Mine particularly love bloodworms. I recently tried out ground beef heart as I've heard many like it and surprisingly they weren't so keen! Most people say they feed quality pellets and flakes as a staple- hopefully mine aren't missing out on anything important by not getting them
I feed NLS (New Life Spectrum) pellets to all my Angelfish. I will on occasion feed freez dried blood worms or frozen blood worms but 95% of there diet is pellets. The larger fish will get 1mm while the smaller fish get .5mm. I have a small group (6) of WC P. Liopoldii that I got onto the .5mm pellets and they actually perfer it to the blood worms, I now feed the worms less and give them the pellets almost exclusivly which I know is providing them with a much more balanced and nutritionaly complete diet. My WC P. Sclare Peruvians being in the big tank still get the freez dried blood worms but mainly as a by product of feeding them to the large school Serpae Tetra (Hyphessobrycon eques) in there. A high quality pellet is much a much more complete diet as a staple, you can still treat with other things but for every day feeding the pellet is the way to go IMO.
