If you have a variety of cichlid species in your tank, it is important to provide them with an array of protein-rich foods and plant matter. Some species tend to be omnivorous while others are herbivores.
If your cichlids only eat meat-based food, it’s essential to remove uneaten food from their tank before they start releasing ammonia. Doing this helps preserve water quality and prevent cloudy conditions.
