There are multitudes of brands out there. In my experience of years in the pet store industry, I find that Wardley's Tropical Fish Flakes appears to be the best. There is value because of the price as well. Watch over feeding. Only give them an amount once or twice a day that they can consume ion about 30 seconds. Wardley's manufactures goldfish flakes as well. They also make several varieties of freeze dried treats such as Tubifex worms. The nice thing is, Wardley is available at most quality pet stores and also at WalMart. Good Luck

3 things to remember in feeding tropical fish:

1. Variety. Give a variety of food items at a time for optimum growth, sound health, enhanced color, and increased fertility. Available commercial foods include fish flakes, floating pellets, sinking pellets, brine shrimp, dried worms, and vegetable pellets. Natural foods include earth worms, mosquito larvae, fish fry, feeder fish, and lettuce. Whatever food item, make sure you crush it down to pieces so your fish can easily swallow and chew without much difficulty.

2. Moderation. Give your fish only in such amounts it can fully consume within 2-3 minutes. Overfeeding will leave your fish sickly (fish liver will be downgraded) and your aquarium water dirty (left-overs increase ammonia level which makes water deadly for living organisms thriving in it).

3. Regularity. Feed at regular intervals (every 8-12 hours or during regular meal times) at least twice or thrice a day. This will ensure regular food digestion, proper nutrition absorption, and healthy metabolic rate. More importantly, regular feeding becomes a force of habit which will prevent any eventuality of you negligently forgetting to feed your fish.

You should feed your fish a variety of foods.

I use a good spirulina flake as a base food as even carnivores can eat it. I then supplement with frozen brine, freeze dried foods (brine, krill, etc.) and other "meaty" flake food.

The key is to give them a variety of foods so that all of their nutrition is met.
