❓ Frequently asked questions

Why low-protein food for herbivorous cichlids?
Plant-eating cichlids have a longer intestinal length and are adapted to plant-based food. Too much protein can lead to digestive problems and kidney damage.

What is the difference with Hikari Sinking Cichlid Excel?
Same formula, but Cichlid Excel floats — for cichlids that eat at the surface. Sinking Cichlid Excel sinks — for cichlids that eat from the bottom.

Does spirulina really help with colour enhancement?
Yes — pure cultured spirulina contains natural pigments that visibly enhance the colours of herbivorous cichlids.
