Hi everyone,
Just a quick question...Im a bit confused. I have a small lake tang tank with Neolamprologus brichardi and J. Dickfeldi. Everywhere I read says that they can eat brine shrimp, bloodworms and flake etc etc. But my LFS said they can get cichlid bloat if they eat too much proteins. But worms and shrimp are protiens? no? So I dont know what to feed anymore, lol. I have been feeding them frozen marine food (vegetable matter and what not), some low protein cichlid pellets and brine shrimp for quite a while. And they all seem happy. So can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks!
