Also, I'm pretty sure that cichlids don't eat their veggies, it is mostly catfish that do this. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Make sure and I can't emphasize this enough that you do water changes every day or at the minimum every other day. On a side note what size tank or tanks to you plan on putting these fish in. The frozen vegetable that you have heard of are peas. Generally, it is a good idea to thaw them before you feed it to them. P.S. Just out of curiosity what are the sizes of the fish.

The 10 gallon will probably last a month, if they fish are 1 inch or under. By then, all the fish would have grown an inch. Frequent water changes are really needed right now, probably once every two - three days at about 25%. Add a nice filter for the time being also.
