    * Koi: Similar to goldfish, they will eat a variety of foods, including plants.

    * Tilapia: A popular food fish, tilapia are known for their ability to thrive on a diet of both plants and animals.

    * Angelfish: These elegant fish are omnivores and enjoy a varied diet of algae, insects, and small crustaceans.

    * Discus: These beautiful fish are omnivores and will eat a variety of foods, including flakes, frozen food, and live food.
