[ejm2002]

Hi, I just wanted to know whats the best food for African Cichlids brand name? Flakes or pellets ?

For Africans, sinking pellets are best IMO. I do used flakes, but in a 3:1 or 4:1 rotation.

Here is my African mix:

Pellets: New Line Spectrum Thera A, Hikari Cichlid Excel, and Omega One Super Color (all sinking)
Flakes: Omega One Super Color and Ocean Nutrition Veggie

You can get 5lb buckets of NLS from MFK's Pharaoh....look him up.

i use the spectrum / omega pellet mix as well...
And throw some flake in the same rotation, 1:3 or 1:4

I use NLS or Ken's Cichilid sinking pellets. I feed Krill 2 or 3 times a week. Since I have added the Krill to their diet(peacocks n haps) their growth and color have increased tremendously.
