I want to know what Tinfoil Barb eat?

What is macrophytes? Where can i get it? Do you have picture?

What is filamentous algae? Where can i get it? Do you have picture?

Does bloodworm count as worm or insect?

What kind of live insect does tinfoil barb eat?

Does tinfoil barb eat live flightless fruit flies?
 
Lots of questions there

I dont think you need to worry too much about feeding tinfoils as they are voracious feeders in a tank on flake pellet etc and pretty much anything you want to put in, and they grow incredibly quickly!!
 
Tinfoil barbs will eat anything. Yes they would eat the fruit flies you mention. It is not possible to list every single thing they eat, but the list will include: flake food, pellets, insects, crustaceans, plants, even small fish once they grow large enough.
 
They are omnivores, meaning both plant and meat eaters. In the wild, plants, algae, insects, other fish.

All this information is easily found online if you search for 'tinfoil barb diet'.

What about live flightless fruit flies? You didn't mention in there.
What about live bloodworm? You didn't mention in there.
 
They eat flightless fruit flies and bloodworm. Happy now?
