Hey I just wanna give a little blurb of advice: https://www.amazon.com/Xtreme-Aquatic-Foods-2136-F-Cichlid/dp/B008DBP0NA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514851918&sr=8-1&keywords=xtreme+aquatic+foods
Check out this food for your cichlids! I have been using it for about a year, and my fish have colored up a TON. It also doesn't cloud up my water as much as other foods I have tried.
