small pellets vs other types of fish food?
i noticed that small pellets are eaten like 99% of the time leaving very little waste compared to flakes for example

hey there, yeah pellets are one of the best foods for cichlids, f not THE best food. other then that, you need to feed almost 5 times as much flakes for the fish to receive the proper amount of nutrition and the right amount than pellets. as flakes are a lot less dense.
I hope that helped
P.s the more flakes you have to put in the more waste will be in your system as the fish wont want to eat 1000 of flakes when they can just eat 10 pellets ?

these tiny little bettamin pellets float so it encourages the fish to eat them at the top of the water as well
