Can anyone suggest a good balanced recipe I can mix for my Anglefish?

I think it would probably be satisfactory to use one of the recipes suggested for discus to make frozen food for treat use but feel feeding a selection of commercially prepared foods as the main diet better insures that the nutritional needs of the fish are met. When I fed homemade fishfood as a basic diet, I worried about possible vitamin/mineral imbalances, deficiencies or surfeits.

My personal preference is to feed a variety of high quality flake, pellet and crumble foods along with frozen mysis, frozen bloodworms, and (occasionally) live whiteworms and small red wigglers.

My angels were not particularly crazy about a shrimp/green pea/flake homemede gel food I tried (Konnings recipe), two varieties of prepared frozen food from the LFS's freezer, nor with frozen plankton. Fussy fish!
