Hikari koi pellets are about right. The cichlid pellets are good, too--pretty similar ingredients and they don't mess up the water. Also feed fresh fruits and veggies--they love oranges. Raw shrimp (or cooked if you prefer) for a treat...and duckweed, if you can get it!

small crickets if you got them. Cheaper than shrimps.

I use people-food shrimp. Usually have a bag in the freezer.

So crickets cheaper than shrimp goes double for me.

But it's easy.

I used to feed my goldfish Cichlid sticks and some goldfish food, They got to be about 5 inches long before my Oscar Finished them off.
