best flake food for general tropical fish

I'm in the same boat with Beeker. My fish seem to love the flakes and baby brine I give them.
 
tetra color flakes- also i feed 'seaweed salad' or dried seaweed from the grocery store.
 
I use Hagen, Tetra and Wardley's flakes and rotate them around. Right now my betta will only eat Tetra Flakes for Bettas and nothing else. I will try to get him accepting other foods but he has been going well on those flakes. I have tried color flakes and normal flakes and the fish eat both readily and look about the same from eating both.
 
that aqua select mini mix looks awsome. finally something a little different. The prime reef does have high quality ingredients but sometimes the rams reject it!

looked on container and the ingredients go salmon, plankton, squid, salmon eggs, more different plankton, krill, clams, kelp, herring, brine shrimp, and mpax (marine protein amino extract)

all in all 55.4% protien, 10.8 fat...

I use Hikari Cichlid Gold,my fish love it,and i use it as a staple food.
Although it isn't flake food,it's pellet food.
 
From a flake stand point these are the ones that I have grown to trust and use as my staple foods.

Ocean Nutrition - Cichlid Omni, prime reef
Zeigler brothers - Prime, angel flake and spirulina (if you can find it try it you won't be disapointed)
HBH - Flake frenzy (the veggie Green 40 not the super 8) Rainbow color and tropical

I recently tried a couple of new flake foods from
High Prairie Foods http://www.highprairiefoods.com/

I tried the earthworm and the eggyolk flakes and was impressed. I would recommend trying them if you want to try something different. The prices were good and they have 10 different types of flake food as well as pellets (which I haven't tried)
