How do ya'll rotate ya'lls feeding? I feed mine flake and cichlid pellets in the morning, very little of both. In the afternoons before turning off the lights, I alternate between Brine Shrimp and Mysis Shrimp with Blood worms once every week and a half. I also drop my sinking wafers in every other day at night as well.

I do about the same - I have an eel that gets Krill and I use shrimp pellets instead of cichlid pellets but other than that about the same

I have shrimp as well but mine don't eat them well. My angels eat my cichlid pellets, not my cichlid anyways.

I feed freeze dried bloodworms once a while(they dont really like it) tetrafin crisps 2 times in the morning, sinking crab pellets rarely(bichir, goldfish) to be sure the bichir and goldfish are eating, goldfish everyday for my cuddas(stopping the live foods tho), Flakes(rarely), frozen shrimps from my supermarket at night. I THINK that's it tho lol. Im getting NLS too lol. I just love seeing them eating different things lol.

My damsel and clown goby get:
This home made food (made by one of the SW guys at the LFS) that he calls "detritic snow". He told me that at the bottom of the ocean, there is always debris from the higher levels of the ocean falling down. So much that it looks like a snow. Hence the name. The food is a large granuled powder that resembles the detritice snow. I
Im not sure exactly what he puts in it, but i know both of my fish love the stuff.

my toads get crickets
my betta gets regular pellets

my auratus gets what the 55g gets, but not the really meaty stuff
i go for variety. the supersoft pellets are amazing. my damsel recognizes me and the pellet container and he goes nose first to the glass begging for them. the angels and giant gourami like them too. my peacocks beg for anything
