Cichlids

For cichlids, NorthFin offers several top-quality food options that support their active nature, vibrant colors, and diverse dietary needs.
The best staple food is the NorthFin Cichlid Formula, available in various pellet sizes (typically 1mm to 3mm), which sinks slowly and is packed with high-quality ingredients like whole krill, herring meal, and spirulina. This formula supports growth, coloration, and energy levels in both African and American cichlids.
To add variety and support digestion, you can include NorthFin Kelp Wafers, which provide beneficial plant matter that many cichlid species naturally graze on.
For carnivorous or omnivorous cichlid species, NorthFin Carnivore Formula is an excellent high-protein supplement.
A good feeding schedule for cichlids would be:
- Daily: Feed NorthFin Cichlid Formula once or twice a day, in amounts they can finish within 1–2 minutes.
- 2–3 times per week: Supplement with NorthFin Kelp Wafers for plant-based variety and digestion support.
- 2–3 times per week: Add NorthFin Carnivore Formula, especially for larger or more carnivorous species.
