Tropical Soft Line Africa Herbivore Size M

Tropical Soft Line Africa Herbivore is a soft, sinking chip-form food developed specifically for herbivorous and omnivorous African cichlids — including mbuna and Tanganyika species. Available in two sizes to suit tanks of different scale and fishkeeping setups, it delivers a nutritionally dense diet built around multiple algae sources and plant-derived ingredients.

Algae-Rich Formulation

The diet draws on four distinct algae species — Spirulina platensis, Laminaria digitata, Chlorella vulgaris, and Lithothamnium calcareum — contributing plant protein, essential minerals, immune-supporting compounds, and prebiotic activity. This combination closely reflects the natural plant-heavy diet of herbivorous African cichlids and supports overall condition across all life stages.

Digestive Health

High fibre content plays a central role in this formula. Ingredients including fruit, young alfalfa, crustacean chitin, and algae chlorophyll work together to regulate digestion and reduce the risk of digestive tract inflammation — a common concern when feeding cichlids a predominantly protein-based diet.

Colour and Condition

• Natural pigment sources within the algae complex actively enhance fish colouration.
• The formula supports healthy fat metabolism, contributing to long-term physical condition.
• Soft chip format sinks readily, suiting the natural feeding behaviour of bottom and mid-water foragers.

Water Quality

The chips are formulated to hold their shape in water, which limits the leaching of nutrients into the aquarium. This helps maintain water clarity and reduces the risk of clouding between feeds — an important consideration in cichlid setups where water quality directly affects fish health and behaviour.

Feeding Guidance

Offer small portions several times throughout the day rather than one large feed. This approach supports better digestion and reduces waste settling on the substrate.

Available in two pack sizes, Tropical Soft Line Africa Herbivore suits everything from smaller single-species setups to larger community cichlid aquariums. Choose the size that matches your tank volume and feeding frequency.
