Feeding Carnivore Sticks To Cichlids?

[Valyrian]

Would it be ok to feed an oscar or jack dempsey hikari floating carnivore sticks instead of cichlid pellets?

 

[willtang3000]

it would be fine and the oscar would benefit as they are carnivorous

check the ingredients on both , probably contain the same things just different amounts ,[for example]of say meat or vegetable matter .........

A varied diet is best , most prepared foods have enough on there own to give the fish a healthy balanced diet .
Fish may become bored eating the same thing day after day , so mix it up the best you can .[ like if all we ever ate were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches , we'd most likely need supplements / vitamins in our diet .]

I guess I'm saying , I'd feed both .

We use

Bio Blend pellets

shrimp pellets

tetra cichlid sticks

spirulina wafers [ spelling]

krill [ freeze dried ]

frozen foods too .

fresh green peas [ most of our fish eat them ]

we alternate what we feed .
