I figured I would be nice to my cichlids and give them alittle more variety in their diet. I currently feed them Nutrafin basix Floating Cichlid Pellets, Wardley Floating Cichlids Pellets, Omega One freshwater flakes and spinach on occasion. I give them a good mix. During my last visit to the fish store I picked out some Omega One Super Color Pellets... and my fish refuse to eat them. I pick up the container and the fish get all excited then i pour it into the tank and they go one as if there is no food in there... but once I take it out and put anything else in they eat like mad... anyone else have trouble getting their cichlids to eat this stuff?

Im thinking maybe I got a bad batch perhaps, just seems really weird to me.
 
My oscar and severums love omega cichlid pellets. but, they love anything that hits the water.
 
Well ive never used omega products, wardley is the cheap stuff. I use HBH Super Soft Pellets, and my fish rip into them, and they have grown a lot since ive started using the HBH stuff. I also use the cichlid stix, and they love them also.
 
I use the omega one Cichlid flakes twice a day and they cant get enough... they tear into it ..occationally i drop alil frozen blend i put in my salt tank and they go CRAZY..
 
is there a place where you can buy quality cichlid food in bulk?

my lfs only has little containers. i need something HUGE.
 
If you're looking for some QUALITY cichlid food in bulk, then your best choice in my opinion is CICHLID SELECT made by goldfishconnection.

I dont want to sound like a salesman or anything, but this has to be one of the best cichlid foods I have ever used; its better than hikari, IMO.

Heres the link to the website if you're interested; http://www.goldfishconnection.com/shop/details.php?productId=106&catId=14
 
mike! just put some Omega One Super Color Pellets in my tank and they could not get enough of them...
 
Very weird that mine refuse to eat them... I could see if it was 1 or 2, maybe even 5 refusing.. but I have nearly 40 in the tank... and the best a get is a couple swimming to the top to check it out then retreating away empty mouthed. I guess they will have to get by on the other food I offer them, which they seem to throughly enjoy. I don;t do the flakes too much because the fish are nearly all full grown and there flakes are generally gone before they hit the water, but its a good treat.
 
When we gave them Omega veggie flakes for the first couple of times they turned there noses up, but now they like them, and the omega regular flakes.............:)
 
i have lil lil ones just bearly an inch long
