I doubt it can beat frozen bloodworms but I just found that purina has a variety of game fish food and I wonder if this would be good for fish in a tank.
the food I found at this page http://aquamax.purinamills.com/
purina fish chow

From my 7 days of experience darters will not eat anything prepared. I feed mine live bloodworms and they been out for 3 days. They still won't touch wafers or pellets. They are turning over gravel looking for worms still with plenty of prepared food the daces are gobbling up available.

True, my darters mostly eat frozen food, my shiners eat anything not nailed down (i worry about when they finally turn on each other, i think my big agressive common may be close to that point). Thankfully everything has learned to eat the duckweed i got in my plankton pack (which took a few months) so none of my tanks have a problem with it anymore.

I grew some monster oscars with purina fish chow a few years ago. I used trout chow.

The Aquamax fry starter works great with cichlids and cories. It probably wouldn't be too hard to train lepomids and yellow perch to the larger formulations. With darters, though, I think you'd be out of luck.
