Ocean Nutrition's Pellet Formula Foods for cichlids are soft and moist sinking food developed by aquaculture biologists for various cichlids' daily feeding. The pellets provide balanced nutrition through a blend of fresh seafood, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that help promote optimal health, color, and vitality. They are available in small (+/- 1.2mm) and medium (+/- 3.1mm) pellet sizes and two varieties: Cichlid Omni Pellets and Cichlid Vegi Pellets. Additionally, the pellets' soft and moist nature makes it easy for your fish to digest them. As a result, there is less waste, and your aquarium stays cleaner.<p><p>Ocean Nutrition Cichlid Vegi Pellets are a soft and moist sinking fish food that provides balanced nutrition for the daily feeding of herbivorous cichlids – those whose natural diet is comprised partly or entirely of algae. These pellets contain the appropriate protein content to promote growth without fattening the fish. The inclusion of spirulina (blue-green algae) and kelp makes Vegi Pellets the ideal food choice for cichlids that graze.<p><p>Feeding Instructions: Feed two to three times daily as much as your fish will eat in five minutes.
