Rob2904 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 What do people feed their African mbuna to help keep them healthy and bring out their colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 NLS cichlid, spirulina flake, granugreen, novorift are a few that work quite well.. Mine are on NLS and spirulina flake and that is mainly what I have been using.. What mbuna do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2904 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Only the usual...Yellow Labs, Demasoni, Dogtooth, and Rusties. I have been feeding them on JBL Rift sticks and some JBL vegie stuff, With the odd sprilina tabs I give for my Whiptail and once and a while some blood worms and a little live mosquito lave, But most of the time they eat the algae I have grown for them on all the rocks. I put the same amount of ferts in my african tank as I do my planted :slfg: they love it. Was thinking of getting some NLS next time I buy food for them.

critter_crazy Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I brought some bloodworms for mine as a treat but they hated them :lol: My angels in another tank were happy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
