Built around a three-algae base and supplemented with insect meal, it closely mirrors the natural feeding habits of Malawi cichlids in their native lake environment — giving keepers a diet that supports health, digestion, and colour without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThree-Algae Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the core of this food is a combination of Spirulina, Chlorella, and Kelp — three algae selected to replicate the plant-based diet Malawi cichlids rely on in the wild. Spirulina and Chlorella also work as natural colour enhancers, bringing out the vivid pigmentation these fish are known for without the need for artificial colour additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInsect Meal for Digestion and Waste Reduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsect meal is included as a key protein source, chosen for its digestibility and its role in reducing the amount of waste produced after feeding. This matters in a cichlid setup where water quality directly impacts fish health and aggression levels — less waste means a more stable environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSupporting Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeta Glucans to support immune function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarlic, known for its appetite-stimulating and health-supporting properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalmon oil providing Omega 3 fatty acids for condition and vitality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpinach, Paprika, and Pea as vegetable inclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrewers yeast for additional B vitamins and palatability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Analysis\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtein: 37%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil: 5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibre: 2.2%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoisture: 6%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsh: 4.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin A: 16,000 IU\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin D3: 900 IU\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin C: 280mg\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin E: 65mg\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeed one to two times daily, offering only as much as your fish will consume within a few minutes.
