Diet for Vieja/Paratheraps

[ragin_cajun]

I'm feeding NLS once a day everyday. Freeze Dried Krill once or twice a week. Lettuce/Zucchini/Mango every other day. This sound about right for a tank full of Vieja? Would daily Freeze Dried Krill make them grow faster or color up better? Too much protein for Paratheraps? Is there a size where I need to stop feeding protein/krill and go to more vegetable in their diet? What would happen if I just feed pellets every other day? What do you do, especially with 8 inch and up fish that are mostly done growing?

My melanurus, actually all my fish, seem to really thrive eating hikari cichlid excel and nls the next.

I've read that their mainly veggie eaters. So NLS is good because of its vegetable content but they need more for the best growth. I feed mine mostly veggies and pellets in a 70/30 ratio and give them blood worms and meaty foods occasionally too.
