Best central and south american cichlid food?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I love NorthFin.. Ya Baby. Highest quality ingredients and less wheat, makes my fish healthy, happy and breeding like crazy.... Wait 10 years. LOL Order on-line or visit your local fish stores if you are in Canada.
 
I would offer a variety of food, but keep a quality pellet as the main food. Different CA cichlids have different requirements. The jag will need a more meaty diet than the Texas.

I have used all listed including NLS which I still use partially. But I chose omega 1 as my staple. Good ingredients doesn't cloud the water and the fish go nuts for it. Plus it's priced fair. My jag won't eat any live/frozen foods anymore or any of the other pellets that should say something

Do a little research on omega.

I've seen stuff in the past comparing it to nls where they show its using salmon byproduct etc. They make it seem high quality and then skip out.

Also, there was something about how they measured stuff (wet/dry weights) that showed they were also being misleading.

I used nls for all my saltwater fish. Still working on getting my FW monsters to take it. Although my juruense cat sucks it up like a vacuum. Once their on it, they are usually hooked.

Im a NLS and some Northfin user! NLS has good ingreadients probally the best, only downfall for me is I notice some fish wont gorge on it which makes growing some fish slow!

Very suprised there hasnt been any info on mfk's about the latest hyped food "Southern Delight"
 
I've been happy with Hikari Gold and Massivore Delite.... never tried NLS as none of the lfs (5 or 6 stores) sell it around here and I'm not going to order it online and pay for shipping. I've been on MFK for a lil while and whenever a thread like this comes up, NLS is most always at the top of peoples choice of pellet... it must be pretty good.

Same and their algae wafers too. I can't get NLS and not paying for shipping. Especially when my fish are healthy..why change? The most important thing is feeding a varied diet along with a decent pellet as a staple.
 
I feed both nls Thera a and omega one super color veggie kelp pellets as a staple. Usually once a week frozen mysis, and sporadically frozen bloodworm
