And cichlids are avaricious borderline obnoxious eaters — which means they can consume a sizable amount of food within half a minute or so. That being said, I dug through several forums and was amazed at the diversity of the answers. Some owners reported giving one big meal a day. Some shared they give norill krill and seaweed. And some owners even reported fasting their cichlids once a week to regulate their metabolism and clear their digestive tracts — which I found is actually true upon research.
Cichlid fry need to be fed times a day. For the first few days, they rely on the yolk sac for essential nutrition. However, by the time the yolk sac is fully absorbed into their bodies, they are big enough to start eating independently. Cichlids can quite easily go without food for days. Cichlid fry can go without food for days. But suppose you find your cichlids digging around the substrate, foraging into unusual areas, or inspecting the top of the aquarium.
In the wild, these fish eat whenever they find food. You can further supplement their diet with microorganisms, vegetables, and even fruits. Diet-wise, there are 4 kinds of cichlids: carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, and macro-predators. For example, the Tropheus species of Lake Tanganyika are herbivores with long intensities.

You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. I have 15 Cichlids in a 75 gallon tank. Is that enough food. It depends on what type cichlids you're keeping. If your cichlids are active, coloful and overall healthy looking then the feeding regime is probably okay. I feed Omega One Veggie flake food in the morning and Omega One cichlid sinking pellets in the afternoon. That's for 24 African Cichlids and 5 Botia Loaches. It's a little easier than constantly breaking up wafers, and probably a little more balanced diet.
I have about the same amount of mbuna and I feed NLS sinking pellets. I feed twice a day with just what they can gobble up in about 30 seconds. They scarf up the food in 10 seconds. They are like piranhas. I'm not sure exactly how much your fish would need but one fish's stomach is about the size of it's eye.
I hope this helps some. I think you are fine. Less is more IMO. The rules, in other words, are to make fish and aquatic plant won healthy and vivacious life, and make the aquarium play its role.
Sand and Water Temperature in the Aquarium Laying heating line at the bottom of aquarium can compel the heated water to ascend, thus making sand become a part of chemical and physical systems in the whole aquarium. With this heating system, temperature will evenly disperse to the aquarium, meanwhile the nutritive salt generated from sand can also flow along with water to leaf segment of water plants.
And vice versa, when water flows into bottom sand, oxygen gas will enter bottom sand along with water flow, so sand can keep longer action time and avoid the substrate to darken. Besides, adopting 24V low voltage, this heating system is pretty safe for human and fish and can be used to imitate the horizontal and vertical natural flow of ground water in tropics. Stable Water Quality As we know, in tropical waters, the water quality of fast flowing water is always stable and some water quality factors, like PH value, carbon dioxide content and hardness, rarely change.
Neutral PH value is controlled by carbon dioxide addition, but this control should maintain the carbonate hardness at degrees DH at any rate so as to guarantee necessary stability. Fish Feeding in accordance with Cichlids. High amounts of animal protein can cause their systems to get blocked up.
When this happens, the internal flagellates bugs increase in number and can make your fish sick. The high vegetable matter ensures our fish are kept regular. This means the internal flagellates have a much smaller chance of a population explosion and reduces the chance of our favorite fish getting sick.
The diagram below shows the reason our fish are so healthy and vibrant. Feeding your fish Norill dried seaweed and kril is easy and fun. It is a good idea to not feed your fish for a few days before trying a new food. This is especially true for food likes norill which is like rabbit food compared to commercial food which has added ingredients to make it palatable. We always feed the norill in the morning and then a commercial food in the evening. Another benefit of feeding norill is that our fish resemble their wild counterparts.
They have extremely vivid colouration and do not grow obese as you know your fish are doing far less exercise than in their natural habitat. If you feed them only a high protein commercial fish food they may get fat.
