Just be sure and read the ingredients, and you'll be fine A good food has nothing to hide, and will list the ingredients right from the beginning. Don't be fooled by flashy websites and testimonials. I saw this advertisement for this neat new food on AFI: http://cobaltaquatics.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2&zenid=t8g2lrmatt96a79vld7c6l0ph4
The food has probiotics in it. I might try one kind...but I really dislike that there are no ingredients listed on the website! I'll only try the one if they email me back with an ingredients list.

These foods are full of good ingredients. They don't have a lot of binders and fillers. They won't make the fish fat. They can be fed throughout their lifespan, unlike other foods which are only made for growing out fish. Like feeding your adult cat kitten chow.
Too many people want fast results. They look for bulk, feeding response, quick color...instant gratification. Quality foods will make them reach their full potential over time, just like they were meant to
It's a neat experience making your own food, I have done it many times but don't do it as often as I used to. Just know there are plenty of ready made staples you can trust. Usually, homemade food is too rich to be fed as a staple. I believe even in that European shrimp mix link it said not to feed it more than once a day, because it does put some extra strain on your filter.
This is Wardley's claim to fame - "makes water clearer" - um yeah, because there's all kinds of wheat, corn...carbs, vs. the messier protein. It may keep water cleaner, but fish do better not being fed too much of that stuff.
