This sentence includes both とか and など.

> 金魚の食べ物は虫とか水草などです。

Is there a difference in meaning between the two? Is there a reason to use
both like this?

とか and など in same sentence
> 「AとかBなど」+ です・だ・が・を・に etc.  
>  ("A and/or B, etc.", "things like A and B")

Both of とか and など are used to give examples. とか is more
colloquial/conversational than など.

You can also use:

> 「AやBなど」+ です・だ・が・を・に etc.  
>  「AとかBとか」+ です・だ・が・を・に etc. ← casual  
>  「AやB」+ です・だ・が・を・に etc.  
>  「AとかB」+ です・だ・が・を・に etc. ← casual

But not

> ×「AやB **や** 」+ です・だ・が・を・に etc.  
>  ×「A **など** Bなど」+ です・だ・が・を・に etc.  
>  ×「A **など** B」+ です・だ・が・を・に etc.
