Question about feeding my fish – should I be supplementing their diet?

I have tropical fish – Platies and Mollies. I currently feed them TetraMin flakes, but I’ve heard that it may be a good idea to supplement with brine shrimp or something of the like. Is this something I should be doing? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Rainbow Shark question please help?

I have a 30 gallon tank, 2 logs on bottom with places to hide under, fake coral, cave, 2 live bamboo shoots. Rainbow shark, 2 average sized angel fish. Had one molly but randomly was pecked to death. I just intoduced 5 pristella tetras to the tank and the rainbow shark chases them all day long nipping at their fins. the tetras try to hide but after 2 days had to put them in baby net because their fins are almost gone. what should i do? or why is my rainbow shark so dang aggressive? water temp 78, ph 6.8-7.2 fed tropical fish flakes and brine shrimp. any suggestions? the rainbow leaves the angels alone

How do i successfully raise a brine shrimp population so i can feed it to my tropical fish?

If i buy some and raise them, would they reproduce, so i would never have to buy anymore?

P.S.
Do corydoras eat brine shrimp?

Making fish fat?

I have:
4- tiger barbs
1- biker eel
1-very small red tail shark
1- Gromie
1- cat fish
2- tin foil barbs
