hi i was just wondering what people feed their fish. i have a flowerhorn, an oscar, a common pleco, a parrot cichlid, weather loach and a malawi gold (all living happily in a 150 gallon) and this is what i feed them:

Chingmix SP-100 Maxima and Headbooster (best flowerhorn food out there- from America), Hikari Cichlid Gold, Tetra Dormin, Crickets, Brine Shrimp, Tubifex, Cichlid Mix, Mealworm, Wax worm, Dillies, Small fish, Bloodworm, Beef heart and Tetra Colour Pro.
 
Terrible color choice for your font...it's hard to read. Anyways, I feed relatively the same keeping variety in mind.
 
I try to feed a lot more fresh foods than you do. Shrimp, mussels, earthworms, bloodworms, crickets, peas, zuchinni chunks, mealworms, spirulina flakes. I do feed pellets but that's only about 25% of their diet.
 
lol i need to switch it up a bit for my cichlid flakes and pellets is about it rarely feeders
 
Non commercial foods: raw fish, krill, carrots, peas, zucchini, broccoli, beans, cucumber, worms, daphnia, mosquito larvae, blood worms, brine shrimp, scallops, squid, spinach, and guppies that I raise.

And for commercially prepared fish foods I use: flake, shrimp pellets, algae wafers, omnivore wafers, cichlid pellets, arowana sticks, goldfish crisps, color balls in both green and red, earth worm pellets, marine bits and others...

I use some food bought from stores, but most of my prepared food is bought on line from special feed manufacturers and distributors. Kens, Almost Natural and Angles Plus all put out good products. The Almost Natural stuff is really expensive though, I can't afford to give that to the pacu's... they eat too much.
 
For my danios: whatever my green terror and Del don't eat.
Delhezi: Carnivore pellets, earth worms and occasionally shrimp
Green terror: Carnivore pellets, algae pellets, cichlid gold, cichlid staple, blood worms, shrimp, tropical flakes
Betta: nothing, eats plants, only feed with small flake once a month.
 
kk thanks i forgot to say i the beef heart is homemade (very cheap and very easy to make) i also give them peas, cucumber and sweetcorn
