## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only food I'll buy for my African Cichlids
*by A***W on April 21, 2025*

This is the only food I've found that is well formulated for my Malawi cichlids. This is an all vegetarian food just like they would obtain in the wild. Healthy and happy fish!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Food
*by J***L on December 15, 2024*

It's a little bitter for me but our African Cichlid, Louis, loves it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for mbunas
*by W***A on June 28, 2024*

My mbunas eat this stuff up. I like the sinking pellets as floating foods go into skimmer. Probably not the best option for all cichlids like South American since they want more protein.
