Ive heard of people feeding the worms from their vermicomposting or live fruitflies to their cichlids.
Im wondering a) is this good for them and B) which live food (if any) is both good for the fish and easy/cheap to cultivate at home with fruit/veggy scraps etc?
ive got some Acei and yellow lab malawi mbuna's that i mostly feed new life spectrum cichlid formula with some PE mysis shrimp for a treat on the weekends and after reading about all the people growing worms and flies and whatnot was debating replacing the mysis shrimp with something homegrown.
do any of you grow your own cichlid food and what do you use? what is easiest/cheapest/best for the fish?
