Best Rainbowfish Food?

[richpowell1989]

I have a rainbowfish show tank and I was wondering whats the best food to feed them. I currently feed them some flake food, Blood worms n some live food recommended by a very reliable lfs near. But I have read up that there is certain high end flake food or pellets to really make the colours pop anyone no what these are?? Thank you in advance

I use Hikari Micro Pellet food, also frozen mini bloodworms and brine shrimps as a occasional treat.
 
They love all that and look nice and healthy, very good appetites! 

 
FYI I have Threadfins Rainbowfish.

Thank you I looked on youtube n they have a type of flake food they use got advised ages ago but lost the name lol

I've not used flake food since the very beginning, fed them twice with flakes, they did not like it much! lol
 
They prefer the micro pellets and mini bloodworms as these sinks slowly and they swim around gobbling these little pellets up!

The micro pellets is from Hikari, here is an example from Ebay, am sure theres probably cheaper ones from LFS or simply shop around, its just to show you what I use.
