Feeding
This species is easy to feed and will accept a range of prepared foods. They will primarily feed at the bottom of the tank, so ensure that they are provided with a sinking food. As with most cichlids, its a good idea to ensure their diet is varied with the addition of live and frozen foods. AI Naturals Range Frozen Cichlid Mix and Frozen Brine Shrimp are ideal for this species.
