Once the figure out it's food they'll go nuts over the veggies. When I put a piece of lettuce in my mbuna tank it's a feeding frenzy.

I feed strictly NLS sinking pellets.

+1 on NLS for Malawi's

I have Tangs. now and protein in the form of custaceans is a main componet plus the NLS.

Aside from flakes, our Africans love squash, zucchini, and spirulina.
