 | cichlid food |
Theresa_M        Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004    | I have a blue acara, firemouth, keyholes, and angels; flake doesn't seem to be enough for these sized fish. I bought Hikari Cichlid Gold pellets but I'm looking for suggestions for a slow-sinking cichlid food. The acara tends to get all the floating pellets, and my firemouth rarely goes beyond the middle of the tank to eat. Thanks  ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

littlemousling   Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 | I'm a big fan of NLS but I'm not sure they could be termed "slow-sinking" - they speed traight down to the bottom most of the time. I can make them stay up a bit longer by dropping them from only an inch above the surface but within a few seconds they're doing rock impressions. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |
