Fresh, alive, freeze dried or frozen?

I feed my cichlids shrimp several times a week and their health and color are excellent.

I feed a tiny amount of frozen to my bettas and tetras, etc. once every couple of weeks.

live i already feed them some frozen stuff idk wat it is my dad got them n trew the box away so i just have the cubes

Probably frozen brine shrimp. Just don't overfeed them, especially the betta, and they'll be fine.

You have mbuna, right? I wouldn't feed them shrimp, or anything meaty. While a few here and there shouldn't cause any issues, you have the potential to cause bloat, which would not be good. Veggies would be ok, if they'll eat them. Plant trimmings work well too (mine LOVED plants).
