FishScience Cichlid Floating Pellet

Fish Science Cichlid Floating Pellets are a specialist diet for cichlids and larger tropical fish, built around the invertebrate-rich foods these species actually eat in the wild. Available in a choice of sizes to suit tanks of different scale and feeding frequency.

A Diet Grounded in Natural Feeding Behaviour

Cichlids and many larger tropical fish naturally consume insects and worms as a core part of their diet. This formula reflects that, drawing on earthworm, bloodworm, mealworm, and silkworm as key protein sources rather than relying on bulk fish meals alone. Herring meal is also included to provide the fish-based component that these species regularly take in the wild.

Pellet Format and Feeding

Each pellet measures 5mm x 2.5mm and is designed to float, encouraging natural surface and mid-water feeding behaviour. The floating format also makes it straightforward to monitor how much your fish are eating and remove any uneaten food before it breaks down in the water.

Colour and Condition Support

The formula includes natural ingredients specifically chosen to support colouration and bolster immune function. This means the feed is working beyond basic nutrition — contributing to the long-term condition and visual quality of your fish.

Responsible Sourcing

Fish Science Cichlid Floating Pellets are produced with environmental sustainability in mind, using ingredients selected with responsible sourcing as a priority.

Available in multiple sizes, this is a straightforward choice for keepers who want a biologically relevant, well-considered diet for their cichlids or larger tropicals — whether stocking a modest community setup or a dedicated species tank.
