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 Cichlids prefer sinking pellets but go nuts for Hikari Green Staple (I crush up the large sized pellets slightly).

Problem is they're floating pellets, so once they've done a full lap around the tank and start sinking as they hit the spray-bar they get to eat them :p
 
my cichlids love aquarian pellets, they go nuts over them. mostly waiting at the top of the water when i open the lid to feed them haha
 
7mm NLS and Azoo sticks.. ;)
 
Most of my fish are beggars, they don't care if I throw rocks in. I prefer Omega One and Hikari. I have yet to find a fish that won't eat Carnivore or Massivore.
 
my convicts like Tetra cichlid sticks and flakes, my 8" jaguar eats Hikari cichlid pelets, and convict bebys, my 4" jag eats mostly flakes and convict fry, my EBJD eats anything but the Omega One color flakes. Wish I could get away with just one or two types of foods.
 
My Africans eat anything I throw in. They will eat any pellets, flakes etc. If it hits the water, it is gone. They really go crazy for algae wafers.

My new world cichlids love frozen krill, freeze dried krill and Hikari floating pellets. My Oscars will also eat sinking shrimp pellets. My JD will fight the plecos for the algae wafers.

:iagree: 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.
