My Oscar has been eating the Cichlid Sticks regularly and has gained a healthier, more vibrant appearance. The floating design makes feeding easy and the high protein content supports steady growth.
Nathan Paige –
I tried several fish foods for my Malawi cichlids, but these sticks stand out. They are easy to feed and the fish show better color and energy after a week of use.
Carolyn Chapman –
The sticks are well-made and the protein level is noticeable. My Tanganyikan cichlids are more active and their colors have improved slightly. A bit of the stick may break during feeding, but it’s not a major issue.
Rachel McLean –
Great for large cichlids like Arowanas. The floating feature helps with feeding in deeper tanks, and the high protein content supports consistent growth without digestive issues.
