Normally, cichlid pellets or flakes are sufficient, with some live food thrown in every couple of days. If you want to get really fancy, you can feed mostly live foods of different types. Rams will eat most things that fit in their tiny mouths, so you don't have to worry about getting something they'll like.

The only thing with most cichlid pellets is that they are often too large for a ram's small mouth to grab it! Try the smallest kind you can find, or go with flakes. They are much easier for a ram to swallow. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

The fish really come alive when I feed blackworms. They gobble the critters like little pigs. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright
