Aquarium Advice FINatic
I've tried a few different things and some have been more successful than others.
Bloodworms - They love them and usually have a mouthful before they hit the ground.
Kent "Cichlid extreme" pellets (small) - They seem to get eaten, but my apistos are still pretty small and have a hard time getting them down (I soak them for 5-10 minutes before putting them in.
I also tried some spirulina flake (I know it's for plant eaters) that I had from my last tank today. They took to that better than they did to the pellets, but nowhere near as well as the bloodworms.
I'm looking at feeding them a small amount of flake in the morning (which flake is best for dwarf cichlids?) and then bloodworms at night. They seem to have grown well since I started with the bloodworms a couple weeks ago.
