AC/DC Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hi all, Just picked up some cyprichromis leptosoma utinta & was wondering witch food would be best. The bloke i bought them from said to just feed them NLS , But i would like them to have a mixed diet. As i have never kept this species before i was just what other foods would be best. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 you dont need to mix there diet... My fish are happy on the 1 type of food. NLS or similar is all you need. And lol i take it you are the one i was bidding against at the auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosco Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I feed mine BBS, NLS growth and decapsulated brine shrimp eggs.and they love it. They also occasionally get Daphnia when I get around to collecting it. cheersrosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranced Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 i feed mine a mixture of nls grow, spirulina flake, mysis flake with freeze dried mysis, earthworm flake with freeze dried blackworms, and spirulina powder. put through a coffee blender. is my attempt to recreate their natural diet 'zooplankton' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
