🍽️ Feeding Instructions

• Feed 1–2 times daily.

• Give only what fish consume in 1–2 minutes.

• Avoid overfeeding, especially with large cichlids (they produce heavy waste).

• Use a balanced mix with occasional natural food (prawns, bloodworms, etc.).

• Store in a cool, dry place to maintain pellet freshness.

⚠️ Precautions

• Overfeeding can quickly cloud water due to rich protein content.

• Not suitable as a staple for herbivore-heavy species.

• Colour enhancement works best when combined with clean water and good lighting.

• Too much high-pigment food may over-intensify colour in sensitive species — use moderately.
