Of course any pellet can be used to feed cichla but judging by its ingredients, I would rather use others products such as hikari, omega one and new life spectrum.

Just look at the ingredients and compare. The ingredients pretty much explain themselves. The thing I don't like about those pellets is that it only has fish meal followed by a lot of fillers. I don't see anything in that food that would also help with coloring such as kril, spirulina and shrimp. In my opinion, I wouldn't feed it to my fish but its your fish so it all comes down to you.

I wouldn't use it because I don't like to feed my fish foods with protein from other than aquatic animals in it. In the ingredients you list poultry by-product meal,and spray dried animal blood cells, which are two ingredients that I can't see your fish benefitting from. Plus like Tydus said theres nothing in that ingredient list to aid in coloring no krill, shrimp, Astaxanthin,or Canthaxanthin. You get what you pay for pretty much.
