Advice with alternative foods...

I need some advice on some other foods that I can feed to my tank. I have 3 chromis and a golden head sleeper goby, and I am adding two clowns next week. I currently have been feeding them frozen brine/mysis shrimp since they wouldnt eat this granulated pellets. I then bought some spectrum pellets and they will sometimes eat them off the bottom since they sink fast. Are there are any other frozen foods that all these fish will eat, I just want to vary their diet til they eat the spectrum more readily.
thanks

Frozen shrimp, muscles, marine tucker, spiralina flakes, freeze-dried krill, live foods (brine shrimp).

There are quite a few different foods you can feed your fish. Be aware that feeding frozens alot will increase your phosphate and nitrate levels and give you an algae problem

My Chromis is a big fan of Spiralina flakes and will even try to race my blue tang for them :P
