Those are some nice mbuna. What do you feed them?

Thanks! the fry get cyclopeeze for the first month or so then we feed them mostly NLS now, used to feed them spirilina pellets or sinking wafers and flake from omega one, sometimes they get blood worms as a treat and to get them to spawn... they also graze/feast on the algea on rocks and the sides of the tank all day long

They are awfully spoiled. Seems like you do a great job feeding and caring for them. Does cylopeeze improve any colors on the fish? I've always thought about supplementing cylopeeze with NLS, but I was told it wouldn't make a difference.

well, the cyclopeeze stays suspended in the water vs. sinking to the bottom which makes it a bit easier for young fish to get. also, its small and soft for the youth. we have noticed a drastic increase in color when fed top quality food from the begining. the fish will color up at 1/2 in vs at an inch or two.
