I feed mine Hikari Cichlid Gold every meal and at night frozen cichlid cubes aswell (he gets grumpy if he doesn't get his cube). I give frozen blood worms, frozen peas and live brine shrimp once a week (different days) and feed live black worm at lunch time on my days off if I'm home (generally 2-3 times a week). He gets feeder kribensis once a month which I personally breed (don't trust fish store feeders).
