Just curious as to what kind of diets you all are feeding your cichlids? Well balanced, for fast and large growth and what kind of schedule do you have them on? For example...bloodworms twice a week or every other day and earthworms 2-3 times a week, what pellets for a staple? My fish are healthy now but I would just like to get them on a great diet and really see their potential. Thanks for your time guys!

For my growing 7-8" male Chocolate cichlid-
Daily-
Hikari Cichlid Staple mini pellets (15 or so)
Hikari Bio-Gold mini pellets (15 or so)
Hikari Sinking Wafers (1)
Wardley Shrimp Pellets (1)
Skinned green peas (3-4)
Twice a week I throw in a large frozen bloodworm cube as well.
I tried cucumber and squash, but he just plays with it and doesn't swallow. I would like to get him on Romaine lettuce too. I also use mini pellets because that means mini poops, kinda. More like large piles of mini poops.

I feed my cichlids hikari gold twice daily and treat them to krill about twice a week, I also feed worms once in a while when my wife finds em in the garden.
