Is this healthy for my fish?

We have a few different fish foods...
Tropical Fish Flakes
Chiclid Pellets
Dried Whole Shrimp (actually for turtles, but the fish love it)

I crushed all of them together to make a powder (a very bad smelling powder at that). I made a good amount of it and have been feeding my 5 Zebra Danios and a Albino Corydoras Catfish two small pinches of this every day and they eat it all in 2-3 minutes.

Should I keep feeding them this, or use is for fry only (like I originally intended)???
I have been doing this for 3 days, and i also drp in a few small flakes in as well. They all still look good and healthy

what is the point of this? Danios only need the tropical flakes, and the corys need shrimp pellets, algae wafers, and both will enjoy fresh fruits. I have no idea why you would be feeding cichlid pellets to tropical fish...

I am personally not sure. But just to be sure, take a trip to your local pet store. If they selll fish they would know the answer, x

I had a High Fin Bull Shark (fresh Water Shark) I fed it with Tropical Fish Flakes. It survived for 14 years, When i bought it, it was 2-3 inches long and when i finally died it was 11 and a half inches long and that was feeding it one large pinch everyday. Personally from what i have noticed that those fish flakes are pretty healthy! I have never mixed foods so i don't know about that. I have heard though with fish they will eat as much as you put in the tank. I say if they are eating it and they are doing fine and looking fine Keep It Up! Hope This helps.
