The angels for sure are gonna need a good "greens" diet and the gobies can be very finicky and only accept frozen foods like mine, who ONLY eats Frozen Mysis. I think variety s KEY!

You could always make your own frozen mixture and they you can feed that to them all. Then you will have one food. May I ask why you don't want to feed frozen? IMO frozen is the way to go.

Well if they are for freshwater fish, I am not sure you can feed it anyway...IDK though.
Get with someone local and do a group order at like the drs or something the split the shipping.

Also if you do order in quantity from the 2 doctors not only do you save on the product but some of your shipping costs will be absorbed because you are not going to pay tax! Good Luck!, p.s DO NOT FEED you SWF, FW food!

Coral Beauty( this fish will have to be fed frozen foods i suggest pygmy angel formula by ocean nutrition)reason for this is the angel requires spacific sponges in their daily diet only angel formulated foods include this in the ingredients.pygmy formula is made for dwarf angels
Royal Gramma ( carnivore needs meaty foods.
Clowns omnivore (50% veggie 50% meaty
Sixline wrasse(carnivore)
Diamond Goby(carnivore)
Watchman Goby
Black Mollies omnivores ( which I have already I converted them from FW there waiting for the tank to finish cycling)
this food list is quite simple you can get away with a good id say 80% of feedings with pellets i highly reccomend thera+A pellets by spectrum for all your fish feed 2-3 times daily then every 2-3 days do a frozen prepaired pm feeding that will benafit all of your fish..the pellets listed above have the most benificial ingredients and nutrients to keep all of these fish healthy but adding some frozen foods in the diet a few times a week will help drasticly
as stated above you need the angel formula so along with that i would add formula 1 and formula reef all by ocean nutrition these gel cubes enriched with essencial vit .i use all of these foods i listed above with very good results and keep very healthy fish. i would mix 1 cube of each in a cup of tank water add garlic extreme and selcon(ask your lfs for these products) thaw and break up the cubes in the cup then pour into the tank. if you find that 3 cubes is too much rotate the formula 1 and formula reef to alternate days but always be sure to add the angel formula when mixing.. i suggest the larger packs of foods the initial cost may be higher but the food will last twice as long..i hope this helps

fresh water and tropical foods are formulated for those types only marine fish must be fed marine foods..you mollies are concidered brackish but they do move to the open waters of full sw as adults then back to brackish only to breed .they will do fine in your system on the diet i reccomended(ps i also feed my fw fish my marine pellets)but not visa versa
