YFS Food Debate

[AquaStudent]

I'm searching around the YFS site to get in on the group buy and I'm trying to decide which is the best option.

I'm looking for something best suited for my mbunas.

vs.
HBH

The HBH is slightly more expensive but is made with spirulina vs. green peas. Decisions, decisions...

Very Veggie is what I'm feeding mine right now. I have used some of the others in the past, too, and they were fine. Mine were not big fans of the super-soft spirulina, although I know other folks that swear by it.

I ordered some Green Supreme and very veggie flakes to see how mine like it.

our mbuna tear up the hbh... but they destroy anything I throw in

I'd try cichlid cravers or the spirulina pellets.

 

[Hannibal]

Mine love the green supreme and the super soft spirulina, I switch between those and NLS.

Haha four people and four different comments. I had a feeling this was going to be path this topic takes

I was thinking the Cichlid Cravers for my 29g planted (apisto, aspidora, pencilfish, ancistrus).

wait, people have mbuna that don't like certain foods? that's news to me. mine will attack my fingers, let alone food.

The question is also not so much will they eat it but what is best for them. That may not be an easy question to answer (other than a generally broad statement: varied diet)

Bill @ YFS is a good guy and will answer questions on specific foods. If you go with a food based on spirulina or vegetables you should be fine, but he can probably give you some insight on what the foods were designed for. I use tropheus flakes and green supreme pellets for my mbuna and they love it.
