Feeding Directions
Feed only what your fish can eat within a few minutes. Offer small portions once or twice daily depending on the fish species, tank size, stocking level, and overall feeding routine.
Avoid overfeeding, as uneaten food can affect water quality. For best results, rotate with other quality foods such as cichlid pellets, frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, bloodworms, krill, spirulina foods, or vegetable-based foods depending on the species being kept.
Care & Storage Tips
- Keep the container closed tightly after use
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Do not allow moisture into the container
- Feed small portions to reduce waste
- Choose food size based on the fish’s mouth size
- Rotate with other cichlid foods for dietary variety
Important Feeding Note
Not all African cichlids have the same diet. Some Tanganyikan cichlids are carnivorous or insectivorous, while others may graze more heavily on algae, biofilm, or plant-based material. Choose foods based on the specific cichlid species you keep.
