So, feeding my betta's are really easy.
Feeding these cichlids are a tad harder. I feel that I may be feeding them a little to much (maybe often) and want to avoid any issues. I was just watching them in the tank tonight and noticed their belly's were a tad big... so I'm assuming I fed them a little much.
I'm feeding them NLS cichlid formula. I feed them in the morning and evening. I've basically just been taking a pinch full or two and throwing it in the tank. No food ever goes uneaten... it's all gone within a matter of a minute or two.... but the fat belly's tonight has me wondering.
It's basically 6 fish I'm feeding and it's hard to make sure everybody gets their share... some eat more than the others etc etc.
So, any thoughts? How often/much do you feed your cichlids? Any tips? Comments, etc....
Oh... they are african cichlids, yellow labs, rusties, and maingano.... none of them are any bigger than about 2.5" long.... some are even just about an inch long.... they all get along perfect, no fighting or anything.
