    Hope this is the correct forum.

    Looking for a reasonably priced sinking food, that needs to be plant/veggie based.

    Tank full of mbuna can be pricey to keep satisfied.

    Any options will be appreciated

    I agree with the Hikari sinking pellets, but it's quite expensive with a full tank of them. I'm hoping for something abit more reasonably priced

    Many Thanks

    While I have central american cichlids , the hikari line for cichlids goes a long way because its so protein dense. You dont need to feed too often with them. Plus youll get the full colour out of them , Im not even paid to say that but it honestly is the best brand for cichlids in my limited experience. Bonus is there is never any leftovers that you have to clean

    Mbuna like fresh veg.
    Weigh down with a spoon on the bottom of the tank - lettuce, fresh cucumber, marrow etc
