 | Cichlid diet |
JQW   Fish Addict Posts: 869 Kudos: 758 Registered: 09-Apr-2003   | At the moment, this is what I feed my breeding pair of convicts. Cichlid Pellets ~ 5 per feed every morning and afternoon Spirulina Pellets ~ 2 per feed with cichlid pellets morning and afternoon Frozen brine shirmp ~ 1/2 cube, every now and then. Any suggestions and comments of their diet at the moment?  |

| JQW Fish Addict Posts: 869 Kudos: 758 Registered: 09-Apr-2003 | I was thinking about flakes, think I'll wait until the eggs hatch. So I can feed the babies crushed flakes and brine shrimp. I find them eating at the bottom most of the time. Even with floating pellets, they are the really slow sinking ones, the cons will wait till it sinks to start eating. Sinking flakes  |

inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003 | What brands are the foods? I've found it matters alot about the brand and ingredients (i.e if it has alot of fillers (bad), fish meal (lots of excess protein for most fish), etc). |
