Another question about my Zebra cichlid Gary.
He is SUPER picky. Before I got Gary he was eating nothing but flake food for three years. I am not on the up and up with cichlid diet but I'd assume some variety is better than just one food??
Anyways he will eat ONLY Wardleys Cichlid Flakes (its the purple can) If I mix food in, he picks th flakes out. I tried to add some tropical flake, no go. Although I assume its almost the same ingredients.
He will also eat freeze dried shrimp. But nothing else. Does this matter? Should I try to add more variety or is he alright eating the cichlid flakes? My biggest problem with them is he is large enough that he ignores any of the flakes from the bottom of the can, or that are tiny. So once I've used up the bigger unbroken pieces, he eats nothing and looks at th food then swims off into his cave again.
