Repashy is an innovative fish food that comes in powder form. When mixed with boiling water, it solidifies into a gel.
This gel can be beneficial to a number of species. It can be fed directly to your fish, hung in the tank for tetras or livebearers, or simply pasted on rocks.

Black Soldier Larvae
Black soldier fly larvae (BSFLs) make an ideal repashy food choice for cichlids. Not only do they contain high levels of protein and calcium, but their high nutritional value keeps your cichlid healthy and active as well.
They’re also relatively straightforward to cultivate and produce. They thrive on organic matter such as swine manure, kitchen scraps and even fish food.
AgriProtein, an insect farming company based in South Africa, collects 15 tons of refuse daily from restaurants and stores throughout Cape Town. They then use the resulting black soldier fly larvae to transform this waste into livestock food.
Black soldier fly larvae are highly efficient at turning food into protein and improving organic waste into fertile fertilizer. Furthermore, they have the capacity to reduce waste material by up to 50% compared to other forms of manure.
Floating Pellets
Floating Pellets are an excellent way to provide your cichlids with a nutritious meal that’s easily accessible. Not only do they not sink down, but they’re also easy to remove when finished, keeping the tank clean at the same time.
Cichlids that feed on carnivorous and insect-eating species will benefit from these floating pellets, which provide all the protein your fish require while being light enough to float so they’re easy to spot in the water. Plus, these pellets contain ingredients like salmon skin, astaxanthin, and marigold extract which help your fish maintain vibrant colors.
Cichlid species that consume both herbivorous and omnivorous foods will benefit from adding vegetables to their diets, as it provides them with fiber. Furthermore, adding vegetables helps improve their digestive systems as well as accelerate growth rates.
Veggie Rounds
Veggie Rounds are an excellent way to increase the nutritional content of your aquarium. Made with fresh ocean kelp hand harvested from Alaska, they provide powerful nutrition for both herbivores and omnivores alike.
These 20% spirulina flakes are beneficial for improving color and maintaining strong immune systems in fish. Plus, it provides them with fiber and protein.
