This is probably a very common question, but how much and how often should i be feeding my malawis? I currently have 11 malawi cichlids in my tank averaging at 6cm each, i,m feeding them one frozen cube of brine shrimp and a small handful of hikari pellets aday. Thanks

Depends on the kind of fish you have... Brine shrimp everyday? Try to feed your fish a varied diet. Flakes, spirulina, pellets. Keep the high protein foods such as blood worms and brine shrimp to a minimal.

I feed Hikari Cichlid Gold once a day,as much as they can eat in like 3-4 min.
I also feed feeder fish like once every two weeks.
The Hikari pellets is the only thing they they really need to eat,it is complete and balanced nutrition.
