I have 20 Africans most mbuna and a couple peacocks and haps. Been feeding just veggie flakes. Should I add something else like once a wek like krill?
Pellets will constipate them you have to feed them shrimp or something every now and then. I keep stock of ghost shrimp in the tank and feed pellets they will eat them when they are hungry for them
I have never heard of NLS constipating any cichlid.. Over feeding may cause bloating but that has nothing to do with type of food. I and may others on this site feed NLS because it is a well balance pellet. I also use spurlina (veggie flake) in between feeding. As a treat I feed frozen blood worms or brine shrimp. You have to watch out though because you don't want to feed those types of food cause the are high in protein.
Diets vary with different species of cichlid. Hopefully others chime in on the topic.
