Varied diet is best. :)

Main Food Diet Fed:
raw market shrimp, krill (freeze-dry & frozen) various pellet foods, crickets, earthworms/nightcrawlers, mealworms, frozen whitebait fish, smelt, beefheart, and silversides.
 
White bait, beefheart, bloodworms and pellets.
 
I feed my tank a lot of frozen krill. I also feed cricket that I gut load with fish food. Other than that I try to feed them pretty much whatever. Have fed ham, pinkies, beefheart, brine shrimp, koi, guppys, mollys, platies, red claw crabs, pygmy frogs, fat floating frogs, chicken, halibut, raw shrimp, sushi, cut up oscar, algae wafers, three kinds of flake, two kinds of pellets, waxworms, silkworms, butterworms, mealworms, superworms, and some other stuff im not thinking of im sure. I have arowanas and bichirs, so what one doesnt eat the others do for sure.
 
My lates calcarifier doesn't take frozen bloodworms...

The whitebait from tackle shops, the one that sells as fish bait, i hear that they are not 'clean' and should not be fed to our beloved fishes, instead the ones sold at aquariums are the way to go - what do you guys think about this?

Anyone breeding their own crickets/insects? If so what do you guys gutload them with to get them healthy for your fish? I know carrots is a good source
 
One of my Malawi-cichlids died this morning, so I cut it up and fed it to others.

First it seemed fine. But now, one Oscar still has a piece stuck in its mouth. One of the pikes had a piece stuck for a while and the other jut bit on a piece, spit it out and reacted as if it got scared.

Could eating fishbones be dangerous to fish?
 
Dailphantom, I don't know, I read all the threads, try to be sensible and helpful. The staff wanted another mod and they contacted me to try out.
Shekes, it might not be a good idea to feed dead tankmates to your fish unless you know that whatever killed them is not contagious.

By now 3 are dead. I believe it is either ammonia or strees taht is killing them. Either way I am pretty sure it is not contagious.

But : Could eating fishbones be dangerous to fish?

I understand that they can digest bones. However, maybe it is a different thing if they bite into a bare bone. As I said, they appeared to have serious difficulties.
