My Tropheus fish have been eating the flakes regularly and their color has improved noticeably. The flakes are easy to crush and the fish seem very active and healthy.
Irene Sutherland –
Good for Mbuna species. The algae and spirulina content is visible in the fish’s color. I crushed the flakes slightly for smaller fish and they enjoy it.

This is the first herbivore flake that actually keeps my cichlids happy and well-fed. The texture is good and the fish show better coloration after a few weeks.
