CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Guys I've told u about my mission in feeding my Frontosas, its going well but the smaller of the two still needs building up! Some one told me that they fed thier fish sinking trout pellets, and said it worked really well when trying to build thier fish up! I cant remember who told me but guess its irrelivant. What do you guys think about trying my Fronts sinking trout pellets a couple of times a week? I guess it would be heavy on the water but I can keep an eye on that and do more reg water changes if this food will be good for them. If any one has tried this feedback would be great.
           

Well, I've fed them to trout, but haven't tried them in an aquarium.  What they mostly have to offer IMO is that you can buy them in serious bulk.  However, if you don't have a trout pool's worth of fish to feed, they're liable to get older than ideal by the time you use them up, thus defeating the vitain addatives most of the pellet makers put in them.  There are lots of good cichlid pellets available, in quantities to suit the number of fish we're keeping.  You can find floating, sinking, or slowly sinking pellets, depending on what your guys prefer, and in about 5 different sizes.  If you give them a good staple pellet (I prefer to alternate between different one -- can't swear whether I'm more concerned about the fishes' boredom or my own).  Every now and then a treat of mealworms, frozen whatevers, or FD whatever else keeps them entertained.  Just remember, fish can't read!
