My small vics are outgrowing their nls.. and i dont see any bigger sizes on big als unless im missing something... i have hikari gold in red bag i feed to my oscars which doesnt smell at all but the silver bag for cichlids stinks.. makes my water smell and the room so i cannot use it.. what food do you feed your vics that i can get bigger pellets of?
 
You and I are in the same boat. I have even emailed NLS about making a larger sinking pellet for our Victorians.

Here's a link to their site and current offerings:

I have just started using Dainichi XL pro and their Color Supreme sinking 3mm pellets. My larger Vics eat both. I think NLS is crazy not to offer a larger pellet?
 
yeah i know kind of a drag

They have out grown 3mm? I believe there is a 6mm sinking pellet

Mike,

No, he's alluding to the fact that there is not a 3mm "cichlid formula" available from NLS and his Vics have outgrown the 1mm.

I know you're involved with NLS so if we are missing something, please set us straight.
 
what other foods are good? im prob going to make a bigals order and i dont see the Dainichi on their site... and yes mike please let us there if there is a larger nls somewhere to be found! i see there are 3mm pellets of nls but it doesnt say its cichlid food, just lg fish... are they suitable?
 
3mm is what I feed my larger cichlids. Fronts peacocks and others. It is from my knowledge close enough that it will not matter. 2mm medium is also good. You all know that I got those sizes when you need them.. or get a pound and try it out. I use 1mm 2mm 3mm interchangeable.
