Tetra Malawi Flakes is a flake food for aquarists keeping herbivorous cichlids from the Lake Malawi biotope, especially algae-grazing Mbuna species. It is designed to serve as the main part of their daily diet, replacing a diet that would otherwise rely on protein-heavy foods.
Why it matters
- The flakes are made from three types of algae: spirulina (20%), nori (17%) and chlorella (3%), which makes algae the core of the recipe.
- High algae content combined with a relatively low calorie supply supports appropriate food intake and growth for the species.
- The formula contains plant proteins and nutrients that aim to support digestion and general vitality.
- The recipe is aimed specifically at all herbivorous cichlids, so one product covers the whole group of plant-eating species.
