what should i feed my african cichlids?

i have a 46 gal front bow aquarium with 9 malawi mbuna african cichlids and so far i have just been feeding them cichlid pellets but what else should i feed them? i know they are herbavores so should i give them spinach too, or even algae waffers? and how about those omega one veggie flakes? is there ever too much veggies or too much protein? what do you feed yours? what should i do?

Now you see why I direct people to professional forums? I cannot believe that someone would post they use feeder fish???? in a Malawi tank? WTF batman. That is literally stupid and insane at the same time, and what is even more dangerous, they have but one valid good point. Your stock will do better on a balanced diet, but don't even consider the use of feeder fish. They do not eat this, it's not even natural for them to have that there as well.

Use the Spiralina 20 flake food as the base food I mentioned last night. Mbuna are herbivores, they aren't mixed into anything else, so you can throw out that person's chart grouping. They missed the boat when you said Mbuna.

If you want to vary it up, you can use the blood worms and brine shrimp, 1 time a week to 10 days, as over use will lead to the Malawi Bloat I mentioned last night. If you need more supplimental foods? You can use store bought vegetables such as lettuce or zucchini. I'd chop it into very fine pieces, and boil it to take away any insecticides. I've been keeping and breeding numerous Malawi's of different kinds, and now Madagascars and Victorians, I just cannot believe someone would be that ignorant to talk about using feeder fish. About the ONLY Malawi I could think of that might try would be Nimbochromis Venustus, and that's a very very large growing Hap.
