Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Pro-F Cichlid Green 33 is an expertly formulated diet designed specifically for herbivorous African Rift Valley cichlids, such as those from Lake Malawi, who require a low-protein intake to maintain digestive health. This premium food replicates a wild diet using high-quality ingredients, including spirulina for vibrant coloration and a proprietary multi-vitamin blend for immune support, though owners must be careful to select the correct granule or pellet size based on their fish's specific life stage.

FAQs
Is this food suitable for all cichlids?
No, this is specifically formulated for herbivorous African Rift Valley cichlids that require a low-protein diet.
How often should I feed my cichlids?
Generally, feeding 1-2 times per day is sufficient, provided you only offer what they can finish in a few minutes.
What is the protein content of this food?
Pro-F Cichlid Green 33 contains 33% protein.
Can this food help my fish show better color?
Yes, it contains natural marine phytoplankton spirulina which helps boost and maintain the fish's natural colors.
What is Stimune?
Stimune is a proprietary additive included in this food to support the fish's immune system and overall health.
Should I soak the pellets before feeding?
While not strictly necessary, soaking pellets briefly in aquarium water can make them easier for smaller fish to digest if they are struggling with the texture.
Troubleshooting
Fish are ignoring the food
Ensure you are using the correct size for the fish's mouth and try introducing the food during the fish's active feeding time.
Cloudy water after feeding
This is typically caused by overfeeding. Reduce the amount of food provided so that it is consumed entirely within 3 minutes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, evaluate your fish population before selecting the product variant. Use the slow-sinking granules for young or small-mouthed cichlids. Use the 3mm floating pellets for mature, larger-bodied specimens. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the vitamins and minerals. Always feed only what the fish can consume in 2-3 minutes to keep your aquarium chemistry stable.
