Ich habe ein sehr großes Gesellschaftsbecken mit Malawi und Tanganyika Cichliden sowie weiteren Arten. Alle Fische lieben dieses Futter. Ich habe immer unterschiedliches Futter vorrätig, um für Abwechslung zu sorgen, aber dieses wird von allen ausnahmslos am liebsten gefressen. Es hat eine optimale Größe für große und kleine Fische und sinkt schnell nach unten.
