Although ingridients are almost the same but the food is still different from trop food. It's like humans eat dog food. Gee Gee !!I think I just learned somthing new!!

I don't know for a fact how proven those foods are to be affective, and I'm sure that most cichlids, being the pigs they are, will go for anything, but if you have the option to buy it, go for the cichlid formula. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

There is no reason that a good and varied diet will not do the same thing. You stated "seem to have similar ingrediants" that sums it up similar is totally different to the same as. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW
