Cool. I'm curious for more idea's. Everyone feel free to reveal what types of vegetables and fruit you feed your cichlid's.
I use the firmest part of water mellon , but doesn't last that long so no mess.My synodontis like aswell.
Mine like blueberries. I think they think they're pellets and attack them as soon as they hit the water. I also have feed parsley, which turns feces bright neon green...
cool good to hear that it likes apples texas like a alot of cichlids are omivores they need a little plant matter in there diet
Actually this is a point. She absolutely will not eat peas at all, so apple might not work either. Well well, next time I fancy one I'll break her a snippet off and see what she thinks. Worst case scenario she can always have a knuckle when I go in to retrieve it later.Marc280106;1810713; said:

Cucumber is good. But i've found zuchini to be a better option, not as messy.
I've always found that getting cichlids to accept such food's is very much "Monkey see, monkey do". Much easier in a communtiy setting, where they observe other fishes dinning on it. Here, being the egotistic bastards they are think to themselves "Hey, i want that." and therefore much easier getting small portions of veg in their diet. Much more difficult getting a solitary cichlid to realize what you are offering is actually food.
