Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Cichlid Max and Cichlid Premium?
Cichlid Max is made for carnivorous cichlids and has a higher protein content. Cichlid Premium is formulated for herbivorous cichlids and contains more vegetable matter.

Can I feed this to fish other than cichlids?
Yes. Cichlid Premium is safe for other large herbivorous freshwater fish.

Why are these pellets sinking rather than floating?
Many herbivorous cichlids prefer to feed mid-water or near the bottom. Sinking pellets match that natural feeding behaviour.

What gives the pellets their colour-enhancing effect?
The recipe includes pure-cultured spirulina, which helps enhance your fish's natural coloration.

What does the formula include to support digestion and immunity?
Prebiotics support the digestive system, and β-Glucan supports the immune system. A vitamin and mineral complex rounds out the recipe.

Which pack size should I choose?
The pellets are available in 180g and 560g. A smaller pack suits a small tank or a first trial, and a larger pack suits bigger groups of cichlids.
