Title: Quality Color Food
Post by: Mission Man on August 02, 2013, 12:38:04 PM
Looking for a food that I can not only feed juvies to bring them into color faster, but also feed adults.
I've been considering Hikari, Xtreme, and Dainichi. But when I was in this long ago Tetra Min Color enhancer was good. I'm leaning toward Dainichi cuz it seems more of a balanced food, but could use some input.

Thanks!

Omega One Color Plus (or whatever the exact name is) seemed to work well for me when I was using it last year.  I currently use NLS and Nutrafin Max, mostly because that's what I have on hand.

Which kind of cichlids?  You may need several different kinds of food.

Have you considered Repashy?  Or making your own?

Where do you get the Dainichi and can you get it in bulk?
