In short:
What should I feed my young convict and jack Dempsey cichlids? Can they live off flake and frozen? The mini pellets I picked up with them today sink before everyone eats them. What is a good diet for them?
The long story:
I have 3 convict cichlids that were given to me. I think the guy said they were hatched in sept or oct. Well when I got them. The guy said they are now eating flake food. So since then they hav had different typs of flake food and somtimes got a piece of frozen brine shrimp.
Well today I got a small convict of similar size. But it had some red on tge belly. And 2 Jack Dempsey s. And because im ised to the flakes and a lot of ppl use pellets on there larger cichlids. I gor some mini slow sinking pellets. But they sink faster then the fish get to them.
What should my convicts and jack Dempseys be fed? Is a variety of flake food ok? Or should I stick with the pellets? We want our fish to live a long life with us. Right now they are all in a 125g tank.
