Best food for Tropheus

[African cichlid Keeper]

I recently acquired Some Tropheus and I wanted to know if cobalt mysis spirulina food is ok for them to have?And if not what  food is..

[Regalblue]

I personally wouldn't feed mysis to Tropheus. Stick to something purely vegetable based like HBH flake & the ocean nutrition green pellets.

HBH veggie 8 is the top food for Tropheus, this what all mine got crazy over.

I also used Ken's Sprulina flake and Dainichi Veggie Deluxe and Veggie FX. They loved all of them and I never had issues. Dainichi is quite expensive though.

Jenna I won some of the Cobalt Mysis Spirulina in the contest in December.  Fish love it, but I don't feed to Tropheus.

It has 44% Protein, 12% Fat and 3% Fiber compared to HBH Veggie 8 that is 28%/9%/6%
