I feed NLS and Omega One. I prefer NLS, but Omega One has some formulas that cater to individual fish that Omega One does not... the veggie flakes for instance.

I need to get some frozen bloodworms for my apistos, but I haven't yet. I'm guessing Hikari is a good brand to go with on frozen?

It's a good food for frozen, it's apparently fortified with vitamins and what not. They also melt really easily unlike some other frozen foods but that's not really a problem most cases. I feed their frozen daphnia. My fish love it. The blocks are a bit big for my tank so I just popped them all out and smashed them with the side of a butcher knife to get little chunks that I pop into a test tube and melt with tank water.

I mix it up, mostly NLS Thera-A, GF flakes, pellets float/sink and asst. fresh veggies. Like any animal, variety is important.

I feed Hikari frozen bloodworms, mysis and brine shrimp. Also omega one pellets for discus. I soak them first to prevent bloating. Hikari is a good choice because they "claim" that there is no parasite in their product. Parasite free.

I make my own fish food. I blended carrots, cucumber, raw shrimp, lettuce, seaweed, spirulina, yams, bloodworms and a little bit of NLS into a paste. I then put the paste in some unflavored gelatin. I just scrape off the necessary servings for my fish and they go crazy for it!
