Food questions

[fishman09]

all that matters is feed what works for you and what you feel is the best for your fish.

Ill mention though is all the frozen treats as well as flake IMO are a waste and carry little actual nutrition or in the case of flake do not have enough nutrient density and absorb water quickly leaching nutrients in the water. So my suggestion is always going to be pellets over anything else with maybe freeze dried foods being a good supplement (krill, mysis, brine) to a pellet regimen.

Pellets are pellets are pellets. Difference is negligible for the most part but If you would like me to get more in depth of what I look for in pellets just let me know.

In the end if fish are properly cared for then they will turn out nice. Food plays little part in the grand scheme of things..

Im still pretty picky though lol

Thanks for that. The only thing is that they don't seem to really like the pellets is that just because they are used to flake and other stuff. I've tried very little pellets and they just don't really eat them. It's wierd.

I would feed 1mm sinking cichlid pellets from nls as I don't believe that anyone has been able to show facts proving there is a better food on the market. And, I only strive to give my fish the best food available.

And for the bloating africans mentioned before, even though it dosent apply to your case, I have read that a lot of tropheus breeders feed exclusively nls, that says something to me as tropheus have to be the easiest fish to bloat.
