What about mbuna? Are these not too "protein heavy" for mbuna? Just getting back into the hobby and trying to figure out the best stuff to feed mbuna. Thanks!

I would recommend the spirulina flakes as the base diet for mbuna. Should help avoid issues with Bloat

Good stuff. Liked and subscribed.

Beautiful fishes....thanks for the info.

Great video very nice fish I love watching fish eat I have 32 tanks myself of large cichlids and I keep a variety of food just like you good job

I heard great advice a few weeks ago. Those pellets double or triple in size when wet, so a safe way to avoid dreaded "bloat" is to soak then for five minutes in tank water before feeding. No more pellets expanding in the stomach of a voracious cichlid.

I had a few peacock bass about 10 years ago and soaking them was the only way I got them off of live to a good staple diet think it may also feel more natural for them to eat as well

I have used NLS(new life spectrum) for years. It has high quality ingredients and fish thrive. North Fin make great food too!

Cool info! I feed my ACs Northfin and PE Mysis Shrimp Pellets!! Also instead of Amazon you should promote small business owners like Super Cichlids!! They are very supportive of the hobby and they sell ever from food, filters and other essential! Just my two cents

Ahamed Yasir thank you! I’m all for the small business owners. Hopefully people click the links for more info but then buy at their local fish stores!

I'm feeding my cichlids some left over betta pellets i have. The ingredients are the same as cichlid pellets.

I keep one African cichild with my South American cichlids because the rest of the African cichilds died cause my mom cleaned the tank but we had no prime, he does really well and is the king of the tank even tho he’s the smallest but I do eventually plan to make a African Cichlid tank only.

Nice tanks I feed them Cichlid gold and floating Cichlid stick by tetra

do we have to turn off the filters when feeding the fish to prevent foods got sucking in the filters system .

Where did you get the predator haps?

Where did you get your centerpiece in the tank with the green terror?

Can you feed thorichthys maculipinnis with dried gammarus and daphnia?

Is there any food you can feed mbunas haps and peacocks?

What do you use when you put new water in

Just got my first African cichlids 4 large ones do you have any tips or tricks?

To reach their full potential and have healthy fish. If you don't have a tank big enough to keep them as adult sizes, probably shouldn't have them in the first place
