My fire eels mainly eat frozen blood worms. Occassionally they get live, but the stores in the area don't carry routinely.
All the others kind of eat a mix. They obviously will eat the blood worms if the eels leave any.
Mainly use Hikari: Algai Wafers, Cichlid Gold floating and sinking. and Massivor Delite.

I feed hikari micro pellets and hikari crab cuisine. also some of the hikari algae wafers from time to time. funny enough, the fish all seem to love the crab cuisine the most, even though it's for the shrimp. the shrimp rarely get any, unless I distract the fish with pellets.
I also use dried bloodworms, fozen bloodworms, and frozen brine shrimp for treats. I actually think the frozen brine shrimp are the biggest treat for ME, since the fish spend a lot of time chasing them around in the current
I occasionally add some cucumber for the otos, but they don't seem to crave it that much, so I do it rarely.

For my (4) African Knife Fish, (4) USD catfish, (2) Leopard Bushfish, and a King Tiger Pleco, I feed them:
Daily they get frozen blood worms and a small alge wafer.
Occassionally i will get some frozen brine shrimp.
Once a week they get 2 dozen feeder guppies.

SanguineApple: a couple of questions.
I have used Hikari bloodworms and brine shrimp but they seem to spoil much more quickly than San Francisco Bay products?
Why the blanched? I use canned or fresh vegetables in my home made mixtures.

I have not used the SF Bay products, but I have not had a problem with the Hikari spoiling. I'm about 4 blocks from my LFS so they move very quickly to my freezer.
Blanching or freezing was recommended to me when I first read about feeding fresh veggies. What I do now is slice the veggies thinly, and freeze them individually wrapped in saran wrap. Then every few days I'll defrost a slice in a little tank water and drop it in. For whatever reason, only my cories are interested in the veggies so I only use one slice at a time.
