African Cichlids Devour my Special Food Mix - How I Feed Episode #3
You've seen my African Cichlids devour their weekly protein treat (frozen krill) and you've watched a time-lapse of them feasting on algae (and cleaning my algae scrubber). Well here, finally, is how I feed the big cichlids in the 150 gallon their daily meal, once a day. A mix of several high quality foods, my special food mix, that ensures that they get the full spectrum of nutrients they need. My fish LOVE this mix. So here is episode #3 in my "How I Feed" series of videos.
I have some questions for you!
What do you feed your fish?
How often do you feed them?
Do you feed them exact measured amounts or just by "feel" and why do you do it that way?
Do you feed one type of food or a mix of different kinds? Why?
Share your answers below and let's exchange some fish food wisdom.
Never forget, we all learn from each other on this channel!
Where do I get my food? I've been using Super Cichlids in Dover, MD for quite some time now. Selection and prices are great and they offer free shipping. Plus I get to help out a family owned small business, which is important to me. Visit them on the web at www.supercichlids.com and tell them Ben sent you!
Some of you have asked for ways you can support the channel. It's very nice of you to ask and is very appreciated by me! Here's one way: I now have an Amazon store front. If you would like to see some of the fish keeping products that I use and recommend, visit my Amazon store. If you buy something during that trip to Amazon, even if it's not from my store, the channel gets a (very small) percentage. It doesn't increase your cost by one cent and helps the channel. Pretty cool, right? Here is the link to my Amazon Store: www.amazon.com/shop/benochart
Anther way to support the channel is to visit my Teespring store which is listed under every one of my videos. Merchandise with the channel logo and motto such as hoodies, tees and coffee mugs are available. I'm currently offering an assortment of mugs with my favorite fish on them. Here is the link to the Teespring store: www.teespring.com/stores/ben-ocharts-store
