food for dwarf's

what do you all feed your dwarf cichlid's to get the best out of them?
and how often do you feed them
i bought some frozen
brineshrimp
bloodworm
daphnia
and and also got some nutrafin spirulina cichlid stick's and tetra pro colour flake

thanks
Daz

That stuff should all be ok. Ration the frozen stuff as it's all fairly high protein. Bog standard flake should be ok for everyday use, and you could also try vegetables such as peas (skin removed) and see if they like it.

for bog standard flake, go for tetra min crisps or pro, it's the best stuff to feed ona daily basis

ok thanks all

Daz

you gettin paid at college by tetra or something nic ;D

nah, they just give us loads of stuff free!! plus, i do think it's a good food!!

when i first saw the title of this topic i thought it was a politically in-correct reference to midgets  :bash:  :police:

all inappropriate humour aside, half of my fish are cichlids (biggest being a 4 inch Convict) and i generally ensure about 50% of their diet is frozen foods, in fact same goes for all my fish, i believe i have seen improvement in resistance to disease and overall behaviour indicating good health.

i am going off daphnia as NONE of my fish seem to keen on it, mostly spitting it out all the time, for my small cichlids i use

bloodworm, white worm, artemia (brine shrimp) and malawi veg mix

why nic?

What makes a good food?




sorry my lovely.......dont answer that.


im just being a pedantic male organ



my apologies :-\ :idiot2: :knuppel2: :uglystupid2:

i'll answer it anyways!!!  :bash:

I think it's a good food because it's easily availble, is a good size flake, most if not all fish will eat it, it dosn't stink like some foods do, it's not too oily, it has a good amount of phosphate, some bits float for longer, and some bits sink quickly..

that do ya?
