Right now I have in my tank 4 rosy barbs, 1 female betta, 2 albino corry cats, 1 raphael catfish, 2 small angel fish. (45 gallon).
The problem I am having is to figure out how to feed the different fish in the same tank. I know they eat different things, so right now I have just been feeding tropical flake food and a algae tab. I believe that I need to feed the betta the special betta food and the angels probably cichlid food but not sure how to go about doing it all. Oh by the way the betta was put in the tank 2 days ago and the 2 small angels were added today.
thanks
 
a tropical flake should be fine, along with small servings of shrimp pellets. you don't have to buy a different food for each species just because the foods are sold that way. variety is important though.

*high quality flake food - barbs, betta, angels
*high quality shrimp pellet - all fish
*sinking wafers - cories, raphael cat, and whoever else picks at them
*frozen (thawed) bloodworms as a weekly treat for everyone.

that is the most you need, and i think it is appropriate for all the fish, as listed. it gives them a variety of protein and vegetable matter.
 
mix and match the food...they will eat what they like....
 
I agree, just use a little bit of each. You could feed one of each type of food each day/feeding.

You could also add in frozen foods (brine shrimp, blood worms, and tons of other options).
