1. Flakes - Hikari
2. Bloodworms (freeze dried) - Aqua Select
3. Algae wafers/discs/pellets - I use Wardley
4. Brine shrimp (freeze dried) - San Francisco Bay

You can also check the Product Reviews section...a lot of the foods mentioned have been reviewed by members.

New Life Spectrum. Take a look at the Product Reviews Section...there is a review for it.

I highly recommend New Life Spectrum foods. I feed my various fish the cichlid, small fish and grow formulas. I also recommend Hikari foods like the freeze dried brine shrimp, bloodworms, tubifex worms and daphnia as well as the algae wafers and sinking wafers for my bottom dwellers. I have just started trying the Omega One brand.

For freeze dried i like hikari, for pellets and algae discs, i like omega one. i live wardley flakes.

1. flakes: I use a mixture of Wardly and Tetra flakes.
2. bloodworms: San Francisco Bay Brand, as that's all the store had so I didn't have a choice in what I use.
3. algae wafers / pellets: Hikari
4. Brine shrimp: Don't use them
