For mine it's blackworm/spirulina cubes and brine shrimp cubes. They're like junkies in a meth lab...even my ridiculously picky O likes them. He gulps cubes and the shrimps explode everywhere out of his gills. Then its a free for all with the loose ones.

The acara and rainbow will stuff themselves...Felix (acara) will sit on the bottom afterwards, lol.

The parrots grab n' gulp as soon as the cubes hit the water.

Oddly enough the chocolate Bobo doesn't care much for the shrimp cubes but will stuff himself on the blackworms.It's definitely a taste test...while some of the fish eat tubifex, some don't care. But the blackworms and shrimp? No contest. I drop vitamin juice on these. Good thing is they eat 'em so fast they get all the goodness at once!
 
In my 180g com tank it's finely chopped garden worms for mine. When I drop a cupful in there's some serious hustling and bustling going on, they go mental. In my 360g where the big boys reside, their crack is......unchopped garden worms! They slurp them down in seconds, even the occasional fat 8" worm that I dig up from time to time gets nailed in one hit. Great to watch.
 
Everything. My fish goes crazy for all food

Northfin pellets
Nls pellets
Hikari pellets I tried once
Frozen krill
Frozen blood worms
Frozen spirulina brine shrimp
Mysis shrimps
 
I mostly feed pellets but my pacus favorite treats are bananas and cherry tomatoes. My marmoratus likes bananas too but his favorite is prawns.
 
My Columbian tetras go absolutely crazy for Omega one cichlid pellets. No matter how many I put in, only a few will ever reach the bottom. I bought it as a variety food for my cichlids and now I just use it as a special treat for the tetras.

Other than that, my eba loves anything NLS, and my green severum is addicted to Omega one veggie rounds. He gets downright aggressive with the other fish in the presence of veggie rounds.
 
Freeze Dried bloodworms
Hikari Gold Pallets
Omega One Super Color Pallets
Flakes
Freeze dried shrimps

======= Expecting some food via UPS/USPS =========

Expecting some "home made food" from a very trustworthy source.. He will reveal ingredient soon, but I am guessing it's chopped salmon, garlic, dried krill, dried brine shrimp etc..

======= Some fruits =======

Plumbs
Oranges (just few pulps)
Strawberries (just smashed like fibers)

======= Rejected veggies ======

They don't eat:

Green Peas and garlic (they don't eat which is bad because my earlier FH was gulping 4-5 at once and never turned peas and raw garlic down. He stayed healthy and well, no constipation, no bloats, no issues ---- nothing, he stayed happy baby and turned a groomed man in no time! I still MISS HIM A LOT! (had to give him away because I moved from states for 1.5 years)

These two guys Mango (Parrot) and Kamfa fry (Ruby) don't like peas which is ready not good, peas and garlic are most nutritious food for their slim and active bellies (Kid's often like junks rather than healthy foods) :))

@ RutuRaj, I saw you prefer NLS and Northfin pallets, however, I tried to match ingredients of NLS and Hikari Cichlid gold and they look most same. What do you see different in NLS, please eloborate so I can try those NLS pallets and Please send me the link to purchase from. Please remember both of my fish are babies as of now (They can't gulp or chew the bigger size pallets), I still crush Hikari Cichlid Gold and feed them, both are around an inch in size)

Also matched the amount of those main four elements e.g. crude protein, fat, fiber, moisture between NLS and Hikari and looks almost same.. few % here and there!

TYVM in advance..
