Our take
Cichlids are hungry, characterful fish with bigger mouths than a community tetra, and they do best on a pellet made for them. Hikari Cichlid Gold is the long-standing favourite: a floating pellet with colour enhancers and spirulina that brings out the reds and blues these fish are kept for. Match the pellet size to your fish, feed small amounts a couple of times a day, and remember many cichlids will happily overeat if you let them.
