How I Feed All My CICHLID TANKS
How I Feed All My CICHLID TANKS
Watch me feed all seven of my cichlid tanks some delicious Northfin Pellets, as well as my once per week treat day. I’ll show you what I feed all my African cichlid tanks and my American cichlid tanks.
Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African cichlids and American cichlids and sharing information about them. Much…

How and what do our feed all your fish? Let us all know!
what type of water ?
I’m in the uk and use origin Malawi Hap & Peacock food Bundle
For my haps and peacocks
Do you still use TDO? If not why
In the uk tdo is really expensive
Was thinking for trying it
I got sunshine in a bag ( Gorillaz) 😬😬😬
Would you consider doing a fancy convict chichild tank? (blood parrot chichild /polar blue blood parrot chichild)
Hey man what your job outside fish keeping and nice video!!
True parrot is a true hoss
You absolutely can freeze your dry food. What is very important by doing this, is to make sure it has already room temperature BEFORE you open it to avoid condensation!😊

Actually the yellow labb eats alot of meat to in the wild. I mix them to with haps and Peacocks.
I've seen people feeding their fish finely chopped fresh garlic to cure or prevent illness in leiu of buying products. Have you, (or anyone here) tried this on their cichlids??
Great! Guess I better go get that bag of cichlid food I just got out of the freezer 😅 I was torn between getting northfin again and Ron's. I decided to try rons this time since I have a mixed tank and it specifies haps,peacocks, and mbuna. We shall see.
Very impressive seeing a small channel with such amazing quality. Happy to be your new subscriber 👍
Buen día, ¿a los mbuna les das de comer camarón?. Saludos desde México y éxito!!

My Mbuna dont retreat to their lil caves until the lights go down. Even when I turn on the kitchen lights a couple lil nut jobs look to see whats up. Mainly my Bumblebee and my red zebra ob. lol
Jujupari isn't geophagus, it's genus is satanoperca
Great vid bud, love the channel, I feed a buffet to mine lol, northfin, extreme, pe energetics, sera and the frozen pe shrimp are krill. Keep ‘em coming
I still have some 1mm NF veggie pellets that i feed my bottom dwellers, but NF isn't officially supplied in the UK, and the one independent has stopped supplying. Also fed Kelp wafers, but my supply has been exhausted. NF need to set up a UK distributor as I'm sure they would sell well here.
Do you still feed Ron’s. Thoughts on Ron’s?
Great channel, I'm deciding what to put in my new 125 gallon, Mbruno cichlids or Electric Blue Acara. I'm going to try and binge watch all your videos. Thanks for the channel.
Would be cool to put an insect in the American tank to see if the chocolate cichlid will eat it! Great vid:)
Since my fishes are not very big i only feed them once a day with some generic food, a tablet specific for cories, and a tablet for plecos, during the weekend i feed them a specific food made for cichlids

how do you store the food after you make it for the week?
Sir, Apologize if I just missed it but where did you get your Blue Texas Cichlid? It looks absolutely amazing. Thanks, Nick
Hi mate, I feed pre soaked north fin consisting of 6mm jumbo, 3mm cichlid community 3mm krill pro 3mm veggie all mixed together . One teaspoon per day with one day no food to clean out. Have noticed a big difference to fish since pre soaking pellets as bloating has been a problem. My African cichlids range from 3inch to 12inch most of them are 5-7inch . I have 2 clown loaches with one of these being 7inch long and both love north fin including 4 synodontis petricola catfish 4-5 inch . Song by Gorillaz
Hello good day what are your thoughts on Vieja Cichlids? These days the attractive colours of these fishes just blow my mind.
You managed to make a 16 minute Northfin commercial interesting. Great job!
My sharks don’t go at eachother, but they will freak out and take off like a missile into the glass wall or any decoration in the tank and that’s where they often will get hurt and leave scratches and even gouges out. The best way to feed them is dipping my entire arm let them explore my arm and hand and slowly, slower than paint drying open my hand revealing the food and they will even out of my hand… also they’re catfish with a bad name because of fin lol 😂, bala or tri colour same thing despite that’s it’s a barb… lol. Personally if I could have a 12 x 6 x 6 tank I’d keep them but ENOUGH about me lol. I love your set ups and especially how all your fish are great looking. I honestly have too many tanks to be too specific about feeding other than morning and evening other than my Jewel cichlid fry, which if I skip any meals the smallest one will get eaten… that tank gets fed basically every time I walk by.
I feed exclusively souther delight for pellets the fish also get night crawlers and frozen brine shrimp as well I live those wood pieces I think I seen a video where they are fake but what would a real version be spider wood ?
Do you not use TDO Chroma Boost anymore?
Why does it seem like the Centrals grew so fast! That female Salvini is look stunning!
The Good The Bad and The Ugly, we'll just say you have a lot of gold in your saddlebag haha, OK you have me on the other movie I'm wracking this old brain and can't remember, lol. Oh boy what do I feed my spoiled brats, it's a cluster of slop-Northfin and also Ron's Cichlid pellets and flakes (some of my guys are too stupid to figure out pellets they just watch them go by), veggies wafers, throw in some fresh brine shrimp, I also have frozen ones when I'm out of fresh since I'm feeding tons of fry now. For the fry let's see….fresh baby brine shrimp, Ron's Cichlid fry pellets, Hikari First Bites, New Life Spectrum Powder, live vinegar eels and infusoria like I say a cluster right. OH, your fry are looking too cute so ok you are a great fish keeper! Thank you for another great video and awesome info to help us crazy Nut Job keepers!
CC,
Great video and I love how you mix the food and really care about those fish. The northfin food is great food. I feed a combo of Extreme and Omega one fish foods. I feed cichlid flakes to my CA / SA fish and than I feed them a mixture of cichlid pellets from omega one and Extreme. My two Severums are slow eaters and don’t really like the sinking pellets. They sink to fast so I feed them hikari floating cichlid gold pellets. Since Severums need more of a vegetable diet than more protein. The two Severums a turquoise and a gold spotted are growing like little weeds. Very personable also. I recommend a Severums for your tank if you don’t have one already. They will almost eat out of your hand and look at you with there little eyes. lol. My chocolate cichlid used to do the same thing swim on an angle all the time. Once they get bigger it should change. Mine doesn’t do it anymore. She actually will eat the pellets at the top or go for the pellets at the bottom. It all depends how she feels. But I love her and how she changes colors all the time. I named her Hershey before I knew she was a girl. lol. I might need a new name. 😂. My green terror was the more timid of the CA / SA cichlids. He would let food go right past him. He’s lazy and wants the food to come to him so he stays at the bottom. When I feed I have to feed both sides of the tank to spread the food around so it can be dispersed for all to eat. I also have some catfish at the bottom that they get all the leftover pellets and flakes that the fish don’t eat. Not sure if you have any catfish in the bottom of your tanks. I recommend some they are great cleanup crews and cute. Appreciate the video and dang I wish I lived near North Dakota. I would take the angels off your hands. lol. Although I haven’t had much luck with younger angels staying alive for some reason. All my fish are fine but there have been certain breeds of fish I haven’t been able to keep alive and it’s frustrating when they die. Makes you wonder what you did. I tried German blue rams. They died. I tried Angels and they died. Among a few other species that I wouldn’t waste money on it seems. My nano fish also get extreme nano pellets and omega one flakes. All the fish eat well. IMO.
My Jack Dempsey is about the same size as yours but she eats like a glutinous pig 🐖 and steals all the food from the other fish
How do you make the water so pure?😢
Your tanks, and your scaping ideas for your tanks are solid.. keep it coming bro. You ever thought about a lake tanganyika set?
Do you still have the synodontis catfish ?
Definitely wanna see the zucchini feeding. Great video🤟
The 435 is pretty impressive! I really love the mbuna tank ! I was thinking about starting a large one soon !
My chocolate does the same lol. My Oscar and geophagus Sveni are my biggest pigs!
You MTS is getting worse 🤣🤣🤣. Always love your videos.
Extreme Big Fella, Omega Cichlid pellete, bug bites, and NLS extreme red and veggie pellets are my go-to. Omega is so underrated. I do not premix, but rather I change what I feed every day
