Best food for maximum growth

[Japtastic]

I use hikari and nls as a staple along with some frozen foods but what is the best super food for pumping up cichlids nice and big? Worms? Crickets? Muscle?

Mine love raw shrimp from the market

tetra cichlid sticks are like steriods if the fish are big enough to eat them.

Kensfish.com. Lots of formulas with 50% protein. High protein pellets and high frequency water changes have worked for me.

I believe the earthworms,nightcrawlers or whatever theyare called is the best live food for cichlids.

My Angelfish's size skyrocketed from nickel-sized in early-mid October, to the massive 6"+ he is today. I feed him TetraMin Tropical Flakes, Freeze Dried Bloodworms, and small pieces of nightcrawler or earthworm -- all multiple times a day.


He is always begging for food.




Edit: Wardley Shrimp Pellets, too. lol
