there are many things to feed fish. bloodworms brime shrimp the list can go on. i think its best to feed your fish a mixture of foods. even diffrent kinds of flakes and pellets.
My cichlids get, tropical flakes once a week, they get TetraCichlid (mini granules) i get from walmart 5 day a week, and Tetra Tropical Crisps Pro "from AmazonMoosey.com"
I am trying to get them to eat nightcrawlers but that is a slow prosess, the tropical flakes i feed um just to mix it up a bit more.
I think it's UncleRick in aquabid, who sells really good pellets, the angel/discus pellets all my fish go nuts over.
something else i use to do for my fish, is crush up the shimp pellets i get at walmart, just to add another different food.
But, their are alot fo foods out there you can feed to your fish, it;s just what ones you wanna buy that the fish will eat.

I feed mine NLS pellets, Hikari pellets, flakes, HBH spirulina pellets, frozen cubes, peas, they also eat leftover cucumber that my pleco doesnt get.
Spirulina flakes are good. my africans also used to pick at squash & cucumber i put in there for the pleco.
These fish are mostly herbivorous - feed them veggies and possibly some fruits. Any veggie or fruit they will eat is good for them - variety in the diet is also good too. The expiereince I've had with the pair of yellow labs in one of my my aunts (I maintain my aunts tanks) tank is that they turn there nose up to seafoods/"meaty" foods, but the two of them will devour a good sized slice of cucumber within 24 hours.
