feeding otos?

i put prepared cucumber in my tank for my otos. they are new to the tank and didnt want them to get too stressed so added veggies for them, but instead of them eating the cucmber, my gourami is…. is this normal, i dont have zucchini to feed my otos at the moment, and was told to wait a couple of weeks before feeding them algae waffers, but there is pratially no algae in the tank… but there are live plants.. how can i feed the otos and keep both fish happy? i have been feeding my gourami fish flakes and brine shrimp. i dont understand why its eating the otos’ food. i dont want the otos to starve. Help me!!!
as i watch more, i notice the gourami, wich was completely happy and not bothering the otos at all is getting territorial with the cucumber. the otos want to eat it, but the gourami wont let them. (it is an opaline gourami by the way)

Angelfish- balanced diet?

I have a large tank with angelfish, dwarf gourami and heaps of tetras.

i am currently feeding them a diet of blood worms, algae wafers and food that contains brine shrimp flakes plus balls of whole brine shrimp.

Is there anything else I should add?

sea monkeys as live food?

Is it ok to feed neon tetras, black widow tetras and dwarf gourami sea monkeys?. Or should i use other live food that i can breed.

Food for my Gourami?

Hey everyone, i just got 3 Gourami fish and i am feeding them cichlid flakes. But i have read up on the gouramis and it says that they should get a variety of things. Like flakes, brine shrimp, cabbage, and oranges. This is the first time i am hearing that fish needs Vegetables and Fruits. So, could someone please tell me if my fish really do need vegetables and fruits? What kinds of fruits and vegetables?
How much do i need to give them and How often?
And how do you give it to them? do you cut it in small pieces or how?
Thanks alot Marina
