optimal diet for mbuna

Post by larson8 »

I'm gearing up to stock up on food for my fish over the next couple of weeks. Can anyone share their feeding schedule? I'm planning on using a mix of pellets, flakes, and frozen foods. Would love to hear about your experiences.

I've got a pretty basic feeding schedule - flakes in the morning, pellets at night. I've been using Hikari and JBL brands, they seem to work well. I did try out some Gamma frozen vegetable food, but to be honest, my fish just weren't into it.

I've found a good spirulina flake that works well in the morning, and I pair it with new life spectrum pellets at night. The results have been great.

I'm in a similar situation, searching for a reliable brand once my tank is up and running. New Life Spectrum has gotten some rave reviews, so I'm definitely considering it.
