whats the best food for our cichlids??? Are tubifex ok?

 

[brettonstein]

the best food for chiclids is usually food sticks or pellet live occasionally not every day**

tubifex really shouldn't be a staple, your much better off feeding pellets, what kind of cichlids are they?

i feed mine Tetra colour bits, Tetra floating sticks, HBH Cichlid attack, and Hikari Cichlid Gold all as a staple, alternating or mixing them all, im also going to get some life spectrum cichlid stuff.

But once or twice a week i feed frozen(about 3 cubes for my 12 fish)
-brine shimp(most)
-beef heart
-marine diet
-mysis shrimp
-krill <- not huge fans
-plankton
-veggie
and Algae wafers(for the dudoisi), in adition to that i once a month get them(12 of them) about 40-50 ghost shrimp, but i dont feed the day before of after, thats alot if shrimp per fish.

Its important to varry thair diet, i hope this helps.
