Vegan /vegetarian fish food

Then you're a deeply shi-tty person.
If you want to push your vegan/vegetarian personal beliefs onto your pets, then you damn well only keep HERBIVORE pets. Literal, already evolved as, herbivores. You DO NOT keep omnivore or carnivore pets that literally REQUIRE meat/animal protein in their diets. WTF is wrong with people?
Shame on you.
Whoa! That came out of nowhere! How about them Cubs!
A genuinely odd request though as an omnivore is a carnivore. It may be an herbivore too but it's a carnivore for sure. The key is hiding in the name:
I live in the mountains and have bear in my yard every week outside torpor. They'll happily eat the green grasses that grow above my septic system but they'd be deader than a doornail come spring if that were all they got.
Humans and Dogs are omnivores yet research has proven both could live healthy on VEGAN diets. Cats are carnivores(!) And with them as well research has shown that they can live on a VEGAN diet(with Taurine supplment).
So...
Things arent always that simple,aren't they?
This is not a black and white thing. There are tons of ways to recieve nutrients.. tons of resources, and tons of options, including synthetic ones as with Taurin and cats.
Now I'm not saying that for sure a certain omnivore or carnivore specie will live healthy lifes on a vegan diet, but I dont see any reason to just decide that they wont. So I'm checking asking and researching to see if theres any info available on this.
My goal ,as I am an animal rescuer, and as all my fish are rescued not bought or being kept for any reason except giving them a good and happy lives, is to give them good and suitable conditions. In addition to that I'm trying to see if there are ways to minimise harm to other creatures and to the environment. Both being hurt alot from fish food industries both for human and pet consumption.

You appear not to be a researcher but instead inclined toward experimentation. To deprive an animal of its natural diet is to allow it to live but not to thrive. That's not what this site is about.
To "rescue" an animal and intentionally deprive it of its optimal diet is not rescuing. Let's say that your optimal environment would be an omnivore's diet in a semi-arid 75*f setting. Someone takes you home and offers you a 55*f enclosure and all the lawn clippings you can swallow. Would you survive? Maybe. Would you thrive? Definitely not. Are others that don't share your keeper's perverse view likely to condone your keeper's behavior? Not so much. Are you qualified to presuppose an outcome? Def not.
Just because you rec'd your fish free does not mean anyone else wants to help you deprive them of the care they deserve. To have an aquarium is to make the choice to accept responsibility for a 24/7 life support system. No caveats and no unusual intentions to torment them in unnatural ways.
Consider rescuing natural herbivores. You'll be happier and they definitely will.
I've read a bit of the OP's post history; virtually all of it is in the diseases and medications section of the forum. Rather than referring to a shopping centre, I think his username is "Save Them All"...but I question how many are saved and how many are...not...
Seems like a classic re-iteration of the recurring theme we see a lot on MFK. "I rescued this fish!" Further reading makes one wonder if the definition of the word "rescue" has been officially altered in this wonderful age of self-righteous enlightenment in which we live.
Doesn't "rescue" still imply that the rescuee's lot in life is at least somewhat improved? Seems not.

In this context Buffalo Bill was a rescuer too.
Yeah, but...Buffalo Bill was out strictly for himself...rather than blathering on about improving the world...
Bollocks. (Am I allowed to say that on this forum?)
