I've noticed my Red Devil doesn't care much for the 4.5mm floating New Life spectrum, but goes nuts for Medium Omega One Cichlid Pellets. My JD is just the opposite, and spits out the Omega One pellets. I'm not asking about nutritional value here or an argument which is better, just want to know what your fish prefer of all the pellets/sticks????
My fish will eat anything. As far as a staple goes, I feed Hikari Cichlid Gold and Hikari Cichlid Staple. I feed them each every other day. I have never tried sticks.
