Feeding African Cichlids

[Chikadee]

Can I feed Krill to my AC's? I've got labs and some random zebras.

Yup. None of those are M'buna Malawi Cichlids (though the labs are Malawis). Krill should be fine. You only have to worry about feeding animal protein to M'bunas, as they're extremely susceptible to Malawi Bloat--intestinal blockage resulting from the inability to digest animal proteins.

Zebras are Mbunas... so no krill for them.
