FS Malawi Flake Food

A flake food formulated specifically for Malawi cichlids and other algae-feeding fish, built around a three-algae core of Spirulina, Chlorella, and Kelp. Designed to closely reflect the natural diet these fish would consume in the wild, this is a considered feed for keepers who take their cichlid setup seriously.

Triple Algae Formula

Spirulina, Chlorella, and Kelp work together to replicate the algae-rich grazing diet Malawi cichlids depend on. Beyond nutrition, both Spirulina and Chlorella actively support and enhance natural colouration, bringing out the vivid pigmentation these fish are known for.

Digestion and Waste Reduction

Insect meal is included as a key ingredient to support healthy digestion and reduce waste in the aquarium. Less waste means cleaner water and less strain on filtration — a practical benefit for any Malawi setup.

Supporting Ingredients

The full composition includes cereals, fish and fish derivatives, vegetables (spinach, paprika, pea), brewer's yeast, garlic, salmon oil, molluscs and crustaceans, lecithin, antioxidants, and colourants. Beta glucans, garlic, and omega-3 oils from salmon contribute to immune function and overall fish health.
