About this product

Whole wheat and whole menhaden fish meal lead the recipe for these API Cichlid Large floating pellets, and one container holds 7.1 ounces (pack of 1). The pellets are sized for cichlids at least 5 inches long, and they stay at the surface rather than sinking. The manufacturer states the formulation meets the nutritional requirements of large cichlids.

The ingredient list behind the pellets

Whole wheat heads the ingredient list, followed by whole menhaden fish meal, shrimp meal, wheat middlings and pea protein. Cane molasses, fish oil and brewers dried yeast also go into the mix.

Plant proteins come in a blend that includes spirulina, banana flour and pea protein. Garlic and squid are on the ingredient list as well, and menhaden appears as whole menhaden fish meal. Vitamins and minerals round out the formulation, among them vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin A acetate.

What the 7.1-ounce container holds

  • One container of large floating pellets, 7.1 ounces (pack of 1)
  • Model 826D in the Cichlid Large style
  • Pellets as the item form
  • Item weight of 391 g (13.8 oz)

Feeding directions

Feed the pellets twice a day, giving only the amount the fish will consume within 3 minutes. A second set of directions on the package also says twice a day, with only as much as the fish will eat within two hours.

How the pellets behave in the aquarium

The pellets float, so they sit at the water surface where the fish come up to take them. Because they stay afloat, any pellets the fish do not eat remain visible at the top and can be removed.

Large pellets suit cichlids of 5 inches and up, and the manufacturer states the formulation meets the nutritional requirements of large cichlids. The container measures 10.5 x 10.5 x 16.5 cm (4.1 x 4.1 x 6.5 inches), and the product benefit listed is reduced water pollution and improved water quality.

Is this food right for your cichlids?

Check the length of your fish first: the pellets are designed for cichlids at least 5 inches long, and smaller fish are outside that range.

Also confirm the package size suits your feeding routine: the container holds 7.1 ounces, and the directions call for feeding twice a day.
