I have two Tiger Cichlids... (one 10 inch and one 5 inch) and a parrot fin cichlid (6 inch long) Between the three of them they'll eat about 50 minnows a day. I can't breed minnows fast enough for their appetites. Any suggestions on an alternative the 50 minnows are in addition to the frozen blood worm (2 cubes each fish) and pellets they are given daily. The largest one has the most personality and throws the rock with his tail and attacks the glass when he's hungry.

This^^ + pellets should be about 80%-90% of their diet with live food for the other 10%-20%. Earthworms/nightcrawlers could be the other live option.
