mmm I found hikari food = faster growth
where nls = better colors at a cheaper price but less growth.
I have been feeding my fish the jumbo food sticks for 3 weeks and must say wow they have kicked off in size but lost the color they had from 8 months of NLS. now I am mixing the foods but notice certain fish will only eat one kind else I starve the tank very annoying! lol
as for cloudy water, I have close to 40 cichlids in one tank and feed them 3 times a day, I have not noticed this with the food sticks and I feed an awful lot one of the bags last me a week and a bit, so maybe your filtration is lacking something?
