Feeding HUGE African Cichlid | He's TOO SLOW to Get Food! #shorts

Feeding this HUGE AFRICAN CICHLID isn't easy. He's the slowest cichlid in the tank, and it takes a lot to feed this BIG BOY. By the time he's had a few pellets, everyone else has ravaged the entire tank and nothing is left. So what to do? I feed this cichlid a special treat, and it helps get him something extra in his belly. If you have African cichlids, South American cichlids, or even tropical fish of any kind, you know that sometimes you have to try different things to make sure everyone is healthy and happy.

Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African and American cichlids and sharing information about them. I will share what I have learned about cichlids, and everyone is welcomed to comment with their own experiences and information about cichlids and aquarium practices in general.
