I thought in the other thread you said you have read about malawi bloat,yet you offer a high protein food to a herbivore?
FOOD: The most important aspect of
Tropheus care is feeding. In Lake Tanganyika,
T. moorii feeds on algae, containing crustaceans and aquatic insects, much like mbunas of Lake Malawi. In captivity, it may graze on algae and should be fed a high-fiber diet.
T. moorii can be fed on such live foods as
Brine Shrimp,
Mysis, other crustaceans, aquatic insects, and black mosquito larvae. Its diet must include "green foods," including spirulina foods, flakes, lettuce, spinach, tablets, and even oatmeal. Avoid beef heart,
Tubifex worms, and red mosquito larvae as these foods will quickly result in intestinal disorders.
I feed NLS grow to my rams!They are not herbivores...
Get a good brand food with HIGH algae content and start growing algae if possible..
