diet and food for cichlids

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
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
 
Well right now i have 5 ob fulleborni in a 55.
3 bumblebees, an acei, a kenyi, and a mutt, in a 55.
A green texas in a 40.
pair of mara rock,an ahli, pair of venestus, 4 livingstonii, 2 red empress, and a peacock that i havent found the time to identify in my 220.
will post pics soon.
 
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.
 
NLS (New Life Spectrum)
 
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.
