Best central and south american cichlid food?

[Chockful O Phail]

TheraA 1mm definitely. Your severum and parrot might like Algaemax 1mm and Float 1mm as treats. But for a daily TheraA 1-2mm is where it's at.

I mostly just see people suggesting a pellet.

I like NLS the best, I also used Omega, and Bio Gold I really like Omega Algae Wafers, also give them some krill, worms, frozen peas keep some variety in the diet.

Hello Everyone,
Sorry for hijacking an old thread but I would like to ask a couple of questions about NLS products.

So, I have a 1 Gold Severum, 1 Fire Mouth Cichlid, 1 Blood Parrot and 5 YoYo loaches in my tank right now and I'm currently feeding Hikari Cichlid Bio Gold Plus and Tetra Menu Pro.

I'm keen on converting to NLS pellets but which ones do you guys recommend on getting and why?
Also, please include what size of pellets I should get, I was thinking maybe 2 or 3mm?

Side Note: My fish are still about 3-5 inches, the Blood Parrot being the largest of the group.

Probably would have been best to just start a new discussion, having said that - I would recommend 1-2 mm size NLS pellets for your fish.

Converting from Hikari to NLS, you'll have a faster conversion rate with TheraA. For your fish, I would recommend 1mm. I have 12" CAs that still takes 1mm after they've finished the 3mm

Alright, I'll get a tub.
Thanks

Alright, I'm planning to get Thera A forumula 1mm pellets

The best dry foods I'd say for my American cichlids is hikari gold, tetra prime and NT labs pro-f predator.

I've only been using the pro-f for a few months now but the fish seem to love it and it don't mess your water up either.

I recommend any of these I've mentioned.
