Tropical Cichlid Herbivore Pellets are algae-packed floating granulated pellets designed to meet all of the everyday nutritional needs of herbivorous cichlids, such as Malawi. Tropical has loaded these pellets with natural ingredients which include alfalfa, peas, and other vegetables, which provide essential proteins and boost digestive functionality. High fiber content helps keep the delicate alimentary canal of herbivorous fish running smoothly, and vitamin content helps prevent dangerous deficiencies. This high fiber content makes this food an excellent supplement for omnivorous cichlids needing more plant matter in their diets.
