Giving My Fish More That Just Flake Food

[Angel_Queen]

Hi Guys,

I've had my fish about 5 weeks now and at the moment they eat only flake food and only being fed every 1-2 days.
i really want to start giving them more than just flake food, ie. incorporating live food and vegetables, but really unsure what to give them, how many times, and how

I have in my 96 litre tank:

4 Danios
2 Guppies
2 Angels
1 young plec

We are rehoming the plec at a new fish store on Saturday and probably going to get 2 more guppies.

So my questions are:

What live food is suitable for all of these fish? Or do I have to give them different types of live food?
What veg is suitable? - I know this is good for their digestion and have a bag of frozen peas at the ready.
How do I introduce the veg to the tank? Obviously the peas are too big for the fish to eat whole, should I mash them up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Look under feeding plenty of info.

if you have male and female guppies then you are already on your way to a good source of live food for your fish.

I recommend Grindleworms which are easy to grow and harvest yourself.

I think they are both males.
