Fish Science Malawi Flake Food 100g | Cichlid Algae Flake FS257

FS Malawi Flake Food is a specialist flake diet formulated specifically for Malawi cichlids and other algae-grazing fish. Built around a three-algae base and supplemented with insect meal, it closely mirrors what these fish eat in their natural lake environment — making it a considered choice for keepers who want to feed properly, not just conveniently.

Three-Algae Formula

The diet is anchored by a combination of Spirulina, Chlorella, and Kelp — three distinct algae that together replicate the plant-based grazing Malawi cichlids rely on in the wild. This isn't a token algae inclusion; it's central to the formulation and directly supports natural feeding behaviour.

Insect Meal & Digestibility

Insect meal is included as a high-quality protein source that supports healthy digestion and helps reduce waste in the aquarium. For cichlid keepers, less waste means better water quality and a cleaner, more stable environment.

Supporting Ingredients

• Beta Glucans to support immune function
• Garlic for its natural health-promoting properties
• Salmon oil providing Omega-3 fatty acids
• Spinach, Paprika, and Pea for additional vegetable nutrition
• Spirulina and Chlorella also act as natural colour enhancers
