I never really thought to ask what type of food I should be feeding my gourami's. I know that they have no problem with flake food, so I'm currently giving them Tetramin tropical flakes, and every few days I throw in some sinking shrimp pellets that they seem to enjoy. About once every 2 weeks I throw some veggies in and they eat those too. My main question is, is there any better flake food I should be giving them, or should I give them a whole different type of food all together? Also, are there any other foods they might enjoy occasionally, like the shrimp pellets?
 
I'd increase the veggies and reduce the meaty foods. While gouramies will happily eat most meaty foods, they tend to cause constipation. Lots of veggies will be better for them.
 
I also feed mine Tetra Color Bits as well as Seaweed Salad algea as treats with flake as a daily food.
