Don't forget peas for jack dempseys just shell them first or you get shells in your gravel decaying

I use krill, frozen market shrimp, tubifex worms, blood worms, brine shrimp, dried shrimp, peas, lettuce, cucumber, omega one cichlid flakes, new life spectrum, bio-gold, hikari gold,algae wafers, topfin cichlid pellets, and guppies every now and then.
