Troubleshooting
Fish not eating the pellets
Ensure the pellet size is appropriate for your fish. Try soaking the pellets in a small amount of tank water for a minute before feeding to soften them further. If fish are new to the food, introduce it gradually by mixing it with their current food.
Water appears cloudy after feeding
Reduce the amount of food offered. Ensure all uneaten food is removed from the tank promptly after feeding. Check your aquarium's filtration system is adequate and functioning properly.
Fish appear less colorful
Ensure consistent feeding with the Cichlid Vegi Pellets. Verify that other environmental factors such as water quality and lighting are optimal. This food contains natural pigments, but overall health and genetics also play a role in coloration.
