I was just wondering what everybody is feeding their tanks. What have you currently got on the shelf? It will be interesting as we have members from all over the world. Based in London.

Im feeding my smaller fish
Fluval bug bites micro pellets( light blue)
NT labs pro biotic tropical pellets
Fish Science tropical flakes

I feed my big cichlids Vitalis Carnivore pellets.

I rotate the above with frozen food like brine shrimp, daphnia and blood worms. Frozen cichlid mix for the cichlids.
 
In eastern Canada, I'm using tropical insect pellets for the corys, along with Fluval bug bites. I have 2 bulk flakes I use, a colour one and a shrimp one, for selected tanks. They're pretty well no name ones, but are readily accepted and have a good nutritional profile. When they're used up, I won't replace them though.

Beyond that, homemade frozen mixes and live artemia nauplii, wingless fruit flies, and white/grindal worms. Surface feeders get the flies, and bottom feeders the worms.

Nice variety! I’ve been using NorthFin Community flakes for my tetras and they seem to love it. The quality is great and it doesn’t cloud the water much.

For my bottom feeders, I usually drop in some Hikari sinking wafers right before I turn the lights off. I also try to do frozen mysis shrimp once a week as a treat, it's always fun to see them go into a feeding frenzy. Rotating the frozen stuff like you do is a great way to keep them healthy.

Well you asked. I have a variety of fish and they get different basic diets. I like to use a variety of foods for them all.

Kensfish a mix of their flakes I came to make and did the same with his regular and mini sticks of which I have about mutiple types: veggie, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, blood worm, soldierfly larvae, earthworm, blackworm, color enhansing and immune boosting. Some Freeze dried Daphnia.
Sera what used to be called Vipchips - Staple food (I feed to corys and loaches). I have some of their treat tab;ets you can stick to the glass.
Ebo-Aquaristik from Germany:Mussel Softgran Premium 1mm, Mussel Sticks Premium, Insect Softgran Premium 1mm, Shrimp sticks premium, Veggie Sticks Premium, Spirulina Softgran Premium (0.6-0.mm) [for smaller mouths], Artemia Softgran Premium (0.4-0.6mm) {almost a powder for fry]
Frozen: from Jehmco Mysis Shrip, Brine Shrimp, Rotifers, Hikari Dpahnia Cubes [a few for smaller mouths]
Repashy Gel foods: Bottom Scratcher, Spawn & Grow, Soilent Green: Two mixes 20%-25% Soilent with 80%-75% of one of the other two.
Fresh Veggies: Zucchini aka courgette, when I was working with bristlenose, canned green beans (no salt added)
Recently added occasional frozen cooked shrimp for one tank with clown loaches and roseline barbs (Sahyadria denisonii).

I have hatched BBS for baby angels and then gave it up. I did some red wiggler worms which are easy butwill jail break all over the place if it gets dark above them. I jad it happen twice from a styro. Once with the top on and once when the light on a time went off during a power outage. So, I gave them up.

Live foods are the best for fish for which we can supply them. I chose the next best things imo.
