What diet would you recommend?

What would you recommend for me to feed my fish? I have 5 angelfish (they are about 3-4 inches tall), 2 platies, 4 zebra danios, 8 neons, and 2 peppered corys. For about four days of the week i feed them some flakes in the morning and then some frozen bloodworms in the evening. For about 3 days i just feed them tropical flakes. My nearest fish store provides all sorts of frozen foods like black worms, white worms, krill, octopus, shrimp etc. The only live food they do is small shrimp. Any suggestions for what i can feed my fish?

all those fish would like a varied diet of just about all you listed..the angels especially love food they have to chase ie. frozen brine shrimp or live brine shrimp..the cories like to have sinking shrimp pellets or wafers and usually they will eat all you have listed also..once a week maybe you can cut a piece of veggie (cucumber, zucchini, etc) and weigh it down over night for the fish to snack on as well..just take it out after 24 hours so it doesnt produce waste if they dont eat it all ...

great advice from shawnie, the best thing for fish is a varied diet, frozen bloodworms are great as well as sinking wafers for the cories

I had to give away 3 of my beautiful angelfish to the pet store, and i got quiet some money from them, but i also got a few glowlights and some guppys (breeding them in seperate tank). I would like to get some frozen daphnia, frozen krill, frozen brine shrimp, freze dried tubifex and algae wafers to add some variety to the fishes' diet. Is it a good idea? Any other ideas?

So i only brought some frozen tubifex, and frozen daphnia, and all of my fish (aprt from the andelfish) absolutely went mad for them, especialy my neons and glowlights. I am going to use this as a treat every week!

I recommend decapsulated brine shrimp eggs, especially for your small fish. My endlers, guppies and neons love it. My largest fish (GBRs and Dwarf Guarami) eat it as well. Since it is so small it makes great fry food.

Since Ken's Fish was recommended to me, I buy all my non-frozen food from there. Great stuff and a fair price .
