so after weeks of not really eating anything my cichlids are finally coming around. they destroyed the feeder fish i gave. but when i go to give them their pellets they suck them em up and spit them back out. most of the time they grab it again. anyone know what its means when they constantly spit their food back out. i give them 3mm sticks made by Xtreme, thats what was recommended by my lfs where i got em. my guess is that the pellets are too hard. if thats the case what type or brand of cichlid food would anyone recommend.
 
Okay, this is the normal way that they chew foods taht are to large for them. Perfectly normal.....
