boiled egg yolk works too.
What you are using sounds fine, if it works why change it. -
I feed my F1 Moba fry NLS Thera A sinking pellets in the smallest .5mm size. I feed them this food 1x daily until they hit 1.5".Originally posted by AhKwaB View Post180g Oceanic w/colony of 8 WC Moba Fronts (1m/7f) purchased from TNT Cichlids in Jan '05 & numerous fry. 1 F1 adult moba male. 2 2217 Eheims, 2 6080 Tunze Streams, WISA airpump, single stage Johnson ETC.....fishkeeping since 1988.Comment

new fry food?
Nls growth formulaComment

I use .5mm NLS until fry are 3/4" or so, then off to 1mm NLS. Just use NLS for every fish you own. Nothing but happy/healthy/horny fish if you do!Comment

There is so many different types of NLS you could use until they get bigger. I'm with AhKwaB. If what you're using now works, and they actually eat it, why change it? I would keep up what you're doing until they get larger and then ease them onto what your adults are eating.Comment

Chushed spirulina flake and a little hbh super soft krill for my petro fry. Good growth on it. Trophs might not need much more than the spirulia though.Comment

All my cichlids are on NLS. The smallest ones i have are just a bit to big for these guys but they are def. eating crushed up stuff.130 gallon lake malawi breeding community tank red zebra with true blue male, Mosobo "deep", Rusties, Taiwan reef.
