Cichlid Flakes vs Spirulina

[Scorp1us]

I was told by the guy who sold me my fish to only use spirulina -enhanced flakes (TetraVeggie and the like) . But everywhere I see cichlid flakes and Cobalt even has a cichlid flake with 3 of the fish I have on it! However spirulina is not mentioned on their can. I do have plenty of aquatic wisteria... What is best for my Malawi cichlids? part of the problem is no one carries TetraVeggie locally.

What type of fish do you have? Spirulina is a good ingredient for most Africans, but its not necessarily a requirement. There are many types of pellets that are fine for most Africans, its more important that quality ingredients are used (fish meal, spirulina) as opposed to fillers (oat meal).

If you can't find anything locally, Aquatic eco-systems Spirulina sticks are an excellent product.

I've used Kensfish.com's Tropheus Lovers Flake for some time. Good stuff.

Recently started using the Rapashy Superfoods "Soilent Green" - some fish tear it up, others pick at it...but I think it has more actual greens in it than anything else that I've found.

I like the ZooMed spirulina flakes. We got a sample at CCA and I've used it ever since.

Don't like flakes, they plug up filters. I only use flake for fry.

I get all of my food from wet thumb aquatics they ship it any where and you can choose from lots of different types of food depending on what you have and it is also easy on the wallet for how much you get.

The Zoomed Spirulina flakes are awesome. I winged my fish from the tetra cichlid flakes to this, and my fish love it. I don't know of it WA the good or just me (not noticing), but I sit in front of my tank everyday. Some of my fish have colors showing up that otherwise were not there before. Good food.

I feed my Africans New Life Spectrum pellets and Omega One pellets. Make sure that whatever food you feed them has plant matter, and you check the amount of protein on the label. You could cause bloat if you're constantly feeding them high protein food. You ideally want to be around 38% protein
