When in the wild fish can eat whenever they want and as much as they can eat, but in the aquarium, it is your responsibility to ensure that they are fed correctly and provide them with a balanced diet…
1. New Life Spectrum Cichlid Formula
This product is a great formula for cichlids especially small and medium-sized young ones because it is neither very small nor very big sized. 1mm is just right for different sized fish.
It sinks so cichlids would find it easy to eat as it reaches the bottom without disintegrating or clouding the water. I can personally vouch that New Life Spectrum brand foods have the best protein ingredients available in the market.
With the principal ingredients like krill and herring, my cichlids love it. This product has Algae Meal, with Seaweed, Kelp, microalgae, Spirulina, and some fruit & vegetable extract with a whole of vitamins and minerals.
The overall formula is so full of nutrients that I actually noticed that my fish are healthier and look more colorful since I introduced this brand.
There are so many brands to choose from but New life Spectrum gives my fish just the right nutrients so that they are frisky and well fed all the time. And when it comes to meal time, I love to see them chase after the food and before you know it, it is all gone.
In fact, they devour it so fast that I wonder if they are still hungry. I carefully measure the quantity when feeding them so I resist the temptation to overfeed. This is what I would recommend to you, to feed the best food available in the market and feed it just in the right quantity.
Although this particular food was prepared for African cichlids, that are more herbivore that their American sisters but at least mine seem to eat it too happily.
Being a gentle fish lover I do mix in some more protein-rich food like frozen brine shrimp just in case my little carnivores feel left out.
If you ask me which of my cichlids really love it, it is the Central American convicts.
There is nothing wrong about this food, well, it is expensive, but if you love your fish and I know you do then feed them the best.
