What kind of africans do you have? I use cichlid flakes, small and large pellets both floating and sinking. I also feed blood worms(frozen) and crickits. Mine also go crazy for cucumber. Hope this helps

I feed a mixed of Flakes, Cichlid pellets and blood worms to mine.

I personally would avoid bloodworms and tubifex worms.

I feed NLS sinking pellets and some veggies I sink down. You can also mix in freeze dried or frozen krill, I ll do that too.

I feed a mix of new life spectrum cichlid pellet/thera a,and dainichi ultima. Also feed frozen krill 3-4 times a week as treats. Variety is good.

I feed the same food to my Tropheus too with no problem.
