Just some advice however, cut out the bloodworms. Most mbuna are algea grazers, so should have a mostly herbiverous diet. I would feed spirulina based flake food as a staple, and augment this with a vegetarian biased frozen food several times per week (green Life Line, Emerald Entree, Formula Two.......)
