Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong place, this is my first post here.
I have a pair (male and female) of apistogramma panduro and was wondering what the best type of dry food is to feed them. I know as with all fish, live or frozen food is far superior for long term fish health, but I don't currently have any. I have been feeding them API bottom feeder pellets. I also have plain Aqua One tropical flakes, but the fish seem to far prefer the pellets, and I feed them 3 - 4 a day. They don't start eating it all instantly, but If I wait 10 minutes then come back it is gone. I think they wait for the water to soften it up a bit. Is there a specific food type that is good for cichlids? I was picking up some snails from my LFS today and looked briefly at the food, and I saw some Cichlid Gold, which I heard is good, but it came in 3 different sizes and I wasn't sure which would be best for dwarf cichlids. (I believe the sizes were large, mini and baby, but I'm not 100% sure). Is this food good for apistos, and if so, what size should I get? Or are there any better foods? (Sorry for long post).
