I do not like to feed my fish feeders for 2 reasons. 1-I do not want to introduce any disease and 2-I don't want my fish to like feeders too much and not accept other foods. Besides feeders don't have a lot of nutrition in them.

Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair)
