Question Re: Betta possibly living with community fish?

This seems like the perfect place to ask betta/golfish question.

I have a 27 (or 29) gallon hex tank with 1 red cap oranda golfish, 1 black moor golfish, 1 bushy nose pleco and my one male betta. The fish all seem to get along just fine, but I was wondering about food. I know goldfish and bettas have their own food when you get them at the pet store and when first transferring them to this new big tank from their small tanks in the kids' bedrooms this worked fine because the betta liked to hide near the filter intake and I could drop a few of his pellets through and opening nearby, but now he has come out of hiding and loves to swim all over the tank and I have noticed him eating the goldfish flakes too. Is there a type of food that would be good for both or should I just continue putting in some of each. BTW, I do feed my pleco algae tabs and veggies.
