Just curious, What do you feed your Cichlids?

NLS for my rams and Hikari gold and Vegetarian Aquadine Duraflakes for my big texas's Duke and Sid.

Hikari pellets, flakes, blood worms, brine shrimp.

A mixture of food. Something different each day. Hikari Cichlids Pellets, Bloodworms & Brine Shrimp are very good for them, as long as they're not vegitarians.

here are the foods I keep on hand for my fish (mostly cichlids):

I got all these foods from [link=http://www.kensfish.com]http://www.kensfish.com" style="COLOR: #FFFFFF[/link]. These are all Ken's homemade foods:

Ken's Cichlid pellets (1.5 mm, 3.5 mm. and 5.5 mm)
Ken's Soft n Moist Krill pellets (1.5mm, 3.0mm and 5.0mm)
Ken's sinking pellets w/ spirulina
Ken's sinking pellets w/ brine shrimp
Ken's sinking earthworm sticks
Ken's sinking brine shrimp sticks
Ken's sinking vegetable sticks
Ken's sinking spirulina sticks
Ken's sinking 4bit blend
Ken's sinking Betta bits (has color enhancers, I feed to smaller cichlids)

Dainichi sinking medium Ultima pellets
Dainichi floating medium Ultima pellets
Dainichi sinking small Primary pellets

I purchased the Dainichi pellets through Kensfish but they are a separate brand. He also sells HBH and New Life Spectrum.

I also have on hand frozen krill, frozen bloodworms, freeze dried baby shrimp, frozen whole shrimps. Also, occasionally when at the lfs I'll buy live earthworms and black worms.

I have 2 angels.
I feed them algae based flakes every day twice a day,
and frozen blood work evey second day once a day.

Our variety of cichlids get...
a variety of flake foods- cichlid, spirulina and tropical.
frozen- bloodworm, brine shrimp, beef heart and vegie.
live food - meal worms, earthworms, crickets and the odd cockroach All this is not in one feeding though
