As I just mentioned in another thread, I have a tank of mbuna mixed with two frontosa. I know that this is a bad set up, but I let the pet store guy convince me that it is ok... I'm regretting it because although everyone is getting along great so far, I am causing myself stress.
My only issue so far is feeding... I know that frontosa like bryne shrimp which I've read can be harmful to mbuna. I've been feeding the entire tank "new life spectrum cichlid formula" sinking pelets which are probably not what the frontosa need. (Infact, I just read that it may not even be what my mbuna need as these pelets may be made for American cichlids). I need serious help figuring out what I'm doing as far as feeding these guys.
I was thinking that Maybe I should continue feeding the pellets daily (as long as they are safe) and then suppliment with bryne shrimp twice/week.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
