Which NLS formula is best for this stocking scheme

I have a new 50 gallon tank that is currently home to (5) Zebra Danios. When fully stocked, it will also have 8-10 Platies, 6 Cory Cats and perhaps a Dwarf Gourami. Based on this stocking scheme, which New Life Spectrum food formula would be best?
1. Small Fish Formula (.5mm)
2. Freshwater Community Formula (1.0 mm)
3. Thera + A Small Formula (1.0mm)

Would the Cories need something like the NLS H2O Stable Sinking Wafers?

So far, I've just been feeding the Danios Aqueon tropical flakes, but I'd like to have more variety and have read good things about NLS.

I prefer the .5mm because they are small enough for tetras to eat. Also, they will sink given time.

Omega One is a good fish flake food

I use the small fish .5mm myself and it usually sinks quickly if the surface tension is broken.

I don't have anything quite as small as a Tetra, so would I be ok with a 1mm pellet?

You'll be fine with 1mm

Perfect. I think I'll try the Thera + A small formula. Thanks.
