CICHLIDS NEED BULKING (small)

[ziggy2]

I've got some beef heart flakes that really do the trick.

What type of cichlids do you have... Both major african rift lakes have both herbivore and carnivore cichlids. If you feed high protein meat to a herbivore it may very well get more bulky but only because it gets fat, it fins will grow to funny sizes and the colors gets shrewed up.

and they can get bloat and die....

agree with mike about the bloat. i feed all of mine spirulina crumbles, krill (they love that stuff), NLS flake and pellets, and they like red algae flakes. about once a week they will get a frozen cube of brine shrimp or a cichlid mix . i try to give them a good mix of food.
i have tried to feed mine frozen slices of zucchini, yellow squash and cucumber (the guys in the 180 gallon tank) but they just arent interested and are scared..

the pleco however, thats a different story lol
