Thanks guys. I have been feeding him nls as a staple and shrimp as a treat once or twice a week. I keep the tank kind of on the warm side at about 84 degrees.
 
Nice progression... Feed him varied diet... It would be a stunner.
I try to switch it up a little bit. He gets quite a bit of veg. Based food thrown in here n there. (Staple for my mbuna)
 
Try to feed him hikari cichlid gold or bio+, Grand sumo and a occasional live treats say shrimps..
I do have some of the green package hikari. Cichlid staple or something like that. NOt a fan of the gold. The red dye collor in it kinda turns me away i guess lol

Hikari is customer Friendly so no need to panic it's a good quality feed for fishes.
