Not sure on all of them but i'll list the definate no's:

6,8,10,13

Hope that helps

yea i thought so..im still a bit sceptical over 1 and 2?

I'd avoid 6 8 9 10 13 14 15, in limited amounts all the others should be fine

Go with Vantage on this one - don't give them any of that stuff at all. Beef and poultry are something I wouldn't give to any fish - way to unnatural a fish food for my taste, and I don't believe it does any good, long term, even for fish that can handle it.

thanks for the help...i feed them some of the plankton they seemed to like that...

Remeber that these should only be a supplement the staple should be of some sort of flake or pellet with some vegetable and spirulina ingredients

 

[BOD]

i do, i feed them hikari cichlid pellets, tetramin flakes, algae waffers, and spirulina (sp), i do 1 veggy day then a non veggie day...with a break on a wednesday when they dont get ne food..is this ok?
