Provide different type of foods for your cichlids, Giving them a variety of food type will give them all the nutrients they need in sufficient amounts.
Be sure to give live foods on your Cichlids on just a small amounts, especially if the fish havent eaten a live food for quite some time, Tendencies that might happen is that the fish might gobble up a food and may become overfeed causing the fish to have some intestinal problem and in some cases could kill the fish.
You should vary the fish food or morsel size depending on your fish size, so the bigger your cichlids are the bigger morsel the fish can eat. Small or baby fish should only be given with a food no larger than his eyes, you may increase the food size as the fish grows.
Fully grown cichlids should only be fed twice, Feeding it more than that does not help the fish instead it just may cause the aquarium water to get polluted and also make the fish overfed.
Baby fish can be fed 4 times a day, Feeding them this often is necessary to help the fish grow faster.
Give the fish a food as much as they can consume within 10 minutes.
Arrange a day of fasting each week for a fully grown Cichlids
Turning off the filter while feeding the fish so that no fish food will get suck will help keep the water quality at its best.
