I was wondering what type of live food would be good for my stock as an every few day treat. Right now they get a mix of Tetra Flakes, Granules, and freeze dried bloodworms. Or if you have a different flake or granules suggestion feel free to chime in too. Stocking list is in the signature.

Those smaller fish would love live baby brine shrimp or micro worms. I feed my guppies both and they love them. An alternative to the live is decapped brine shrimp eggs - I use them also.

If you wanted to go with a live food, I'd definitely vote for brine shrimp naplii (baby brine shrimp). They're easy to hatch out and if you feed them while they're newly hatched with the eggsac, they do have some nutritional value.

Apart from what you're already feeding them, if you wanted to try something new, spirulina brine shrimp has always been a favorite of mine as well. There isn't much nutritional value in adult brine shrimp but having the spirulina in there will increase the nutritional value of the shrimp.
