How can I add more variety to my fish's diet?

Question

I have a tropical aquarium containing fancy guppies, ghost catfish, black kuhli loaches, and a blacknose dace. They are offered a live-bearer flake food(I breed the guppies so the flake food is more suited to them)with routine feedings of bloodoworms, brine shrimp, baby brineshrimp, and small pieces of vegetables(these often go untouched)
My guppies are always hungry, my kuhli loaches go nuts when I feed bloodworms, same with my blacknose dace, and my ghost catfish only eat every 2-3 days.
Is there anything else I can feed them that they might like? I want to stick as close to what they would be eating in the wild as I can. I've been thinking of eventually starting them on cultured live-food. Everything they get besides the flake food is frozen.

I think you are feeding them a great variety already. Fish never know when they are going to get to eat so they always eat. After the fish are done eating all the other stuff they will eat the vegetables. You are doing a great job and I would not change a thing your doing.

Umm...don't fishes have a memory span of like 5 seconds? Would they really know if you were feeding them something they didn't have the day before?

I don't know a lot about fish, sorry.
