Fish Science Malawi Flake Food 200g | Cichlid Flake with Spirulina & Insect Meal

The FS Malawi Flake Food 200g is a dedicated flake diet formulated specifically for Malawi cichlids and other algae-grazing fish. Built around a three-algae blend and insect meal, it closely mirrors the natural feeding behaviour of Malawi cichlids in the wild — supporting health, digestion, and colour in one daily feed.

Three-Algae Formula

Spirulina, Chlorella, and Kelp are combined to replicate the algae-rich diet Malawi cichlids naturally graze on. This combination also works as a natural colour enhancer, bringing out the vivid reds, blues, and yellows these fish are kept for — without synthetic dye dependency.

Insect Meal for Digestibility

The inclusion of insect meal supports easy digestion and helps reduce waste in the aquarium. For cichlid keepers managing water quality in a heavily stocked Malawi setup, a food that breaks down cleanly matters — less uneaten waste means a more stable environment.
