I am often asked what different foods I use and about my tank. Here is the list as it is at the moment.

What different foods do you use? Also how often and when do you do this.

My feeding program.

Other than the usual flakes, pellets and algae wafers, & frozen bloodworms three times a week there are many other also foods I use.

The different foods I use are many and varied, never at any specific time or day. All this started not long after viewing FP. I am always willing to try something different. I believe that is the reason why my fish are so healthy as they get a good variety of foods.
Heavy fishing line suspends the pear core & the fish frame. The tomato & the zucchini are held to a flat rock by an elastic band. Two small river pebbles hold down the lettuce leaf.

When feeding with the fish frame, pear core, and the lettuce I do not leave it too long, one hour at the most. I would only feed the fish frame the day before I do my 50 Lt weekly water change.
Once I found a tomato seed that had started to sprout in the internal filter I was using at the time.

Fish all fresh & uncooked
SW fish frame.
Various SW fish mashed
Prawns/Shrimp

Vegetables Cooked all mashed
Diced
Carrot.
Corn.
Peas.
Beans.
Celery.

Vegetables Raw
Lettuce.
Tomato.
Zucchini.

Fruit.
Pear core
Banana. Small pieces.

My profile will give you more details about my Anubias Tank, which I call Placidity

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I guess I'm a simpleton compared to that. Still think your fish eat better than I do keith.

I have 4 different kinds of flake, all Omega one love their stuff:
Super veggie
Super color
African cichlid
Freshwater Fish

I rotate between frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and blood worms once a week.

Zucchini is the only raw veggie I use. That's about once a week too, I should probably do that more often though.

Broccoli in particular is quite a favorite with most of my fish:
