What combination of fish food should I use?
I have a 90 gallon with live rock, fish, and shrimp. I have:
yellow tang
damsel
hawkfish
maroon clown
yellow tail blenny
purple pseudo
six line
cleaner shrimp
peppermint shrimp
I currently feed mysis, formula one and two.
Do I need to add other types of food to their diet? Do I need to add some sort of supplement/vitamins to the food? Thank You.

depending on the type of mysis you feed it may be vitamin enhanced already. I feed mysis and dianichi pellets.

Your diet looks good to me. I feed a variety of frozen foods and Formula 1 pellets.

forgot to add that you might want to add some brocolli for the tang. No need to enrich it with vitamins cause brocolli is rich in them anyway

I would look at a blender mush instead. get a bunch of seafood, add nori or brocolli, add some garlic and blend it together in a blender then freeze in cubes using eggcrate and a ziplock bag

those products are mainly used to make the food more tempting to the fish. Not real sure if there's any other benefit.

Garlic can be an immune system booster and selcon is just adding good nutrients to the food that may have been missed. they can help but are not necessary
