What's a good flake food to feed your neon tetras?

Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant not only brand but also type (veggie, tropical etc.)
I think I will go with HIKARI® FLAKE TROPICAL. But I would like a backup in case my LFS does not have it. Are any of the Tetra flake foods any good?

Bloody Mary. As in, hand me one.
Is Tetra tropical flakes the one in the yellow jar? I think so...
I REALLY don't like those. Any flakes leftover at all and they mold VERY quickly. They are also very big flakes, I had to stir them up with a hard spoon in the jar to make them small enough for my tetras (before somebody ate all my neons). The ghost shrimp don't care for them. The snail will eat them though. I would suggest feed very sparingly if you use these until you know exactly how much to put in for them. (The neons did seem to like the flakes, they just make a mess if any are leftover.)
Bump. I still need a backup food that I could find at most LFS (in case my LFS does not carry HIKARI® FLAKE TROPICAL).
Omega one is the only worth buying at the lfs. Tetra and other brands contain fillers such as wheat that fish don't need and make them poop extra and Hikari puts msg in theirs. Ken's fish food online is the best and most affordable according to members here.
