What is the best cichlid fish food pellets and flakes?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My fish, with the exception of the Oscar, won't touch the stuff. It reeks.
Just curious which NLS that was or what you were feeding before? I've had fish that wouldn't eat Thera-A (strong garlic, stronger smell than other NLS) but no problems with other NLS. Never really had fish that wouldn't eat NLS and some of my SAs especially like the stuff (sevs, for example).

I have to concur with manasota's comment here. I had opened a bio-gold+ and was feeding that when I tried feeding them NLS. They would not touch it. This was a normal 3mm pellet nothing fancy.

But it was me against the fish. I made sure they don't get any other food for a few days and surely they came around and started eating NLS :) I think someone made a comment earlier about how food that is bad always tastes so good, and this probably applied to the fish too -- they liked Hikari too much ;)
 
Not trying to hijack the discussion at all, but has anyone found a quality (preferably large) pellet that sinks? I haven't been able to find any at stores in my area. Several claim to sink, yet somehow remain floating for days until removed.

I ask because my SA/CA's seem strange in that they simply will not eat off the top of the water.
