Which cichlids do you have?

 

[JDogg]

it would hwlp if we knew what type of cichlids your have.

 

[ryan]

i would say new life spectrum cichlid formula.

 

[littledevil]

malawi and a peacock did not know it made a difference and orange zebra
and a blue cobalt

 

[rkilling1]

i agree with ryan, NLS is a very good food for cichlids. I feed my peacocks NLS cichlid pellets and wardley cichlid flakes.

so far so good looking at this now and what about this http://www.swelluk.com/aquarium/aqu...-159/aquarian-cichlid-pellet-50-200g-205.html

 

[ryan]

i would go with nls its the best food on the market and lets the colour of your fish come out more beautiful and enhanced but there is no hormones.

Do you mean a Mbuna and a Peacock? Peacocks are Malawi cichlids. Most Mbuna are herbivores and should be fed a less meaty diet, while Peacocks are more carnivorous and need a more meaty diet. So it does make a difference. What kind of Mbuna (if thats what you meant) do you have?

The NLS is a good food for both, but it would help to know what kind of fish you have.

It does make a difference as JOM pointed out. Adding fresh veggies once a week will also add variety and the occasional frozen food meal.

its the yellow lab

 

[maxwell1295]

Yellow labs are more omnivorous than most mbuna. Even so I like to keep them on a typical mbuna diet, which is primarily a vegeterian diet. If you mix up your foods they will have more than enough variety to meet their needs. I feed a combination of the following:

NLS Cichlid Formula (pellets)
Omega One Cichlid Flakes
Omega One Veggie Flakes
Ken's Cichlid pellets
Fresh veggie (mostly zucchini)

 

[littledevil]

well I have ordered the wrong type got the New life Spectrum Discus Formula

 

[Menagerie]

Discus formula won't hurt them, just make it a part of a varied diet.
