Best cichlid food?

[SubRosa]

Your Peacocks will do much better eating a vegetarian diet suited for the Labs than the Labs will do eating a meat-based diet.

I just cut up an earthworm into three pieces and fed it to my convict cichlids. They devoured it.

There's a vendor in the classifieds section here who sells NLS in 5# buckets for a good price.

IMO NLS is my favorite food for africans, no other food is needed it has all the nutriment your fish needs already in it.

I guess NLS stands for New Life Spectrum, right? That's what my LFS dealer recommended and really, there was a noticeable boost in colors and growth when started using it! My cichlids tend to eat smaller foods than some of your monsters here, but I can recommend Thera +A from NLS for the basic feeding. I'm not sure if that is available in bigger sizes for lagre fish. For treating the fish with something special I use freeze dried tubiflex and mosquito larvae atm.

Your question was - Now about buying in bulk, any ideas? I sell many types of food in bulk.
