Suggestions on fish food pantry?

There appears to be as many types of fish food as there are fish. Is there any you might call standards to start with?
Thanks

what do you intend to keep?

Ocean Nutrition flake/pellets and frozen mysis

Mysis is good, some form of veggie matter, and if you are keeping any corals, you may want to consider phyto, and zoo plankton

get a bunch of diffrent food. Fish, like human, do better with a broad varity of foods.

I feed mysis 5 days a week, emerald entree 2 days a week, and pellets and cyclopeeze every couple days. Oh, and nori every day.

I use frozen mysis, brine, and formula 1.
