I've mostly only kept SA cichlids, which don't really have any problems when it comes to bloat. Since I've decided to take the plunge into Africans though, I am very much so aware of the problems that might arise. I'm focusing on Lake Malawi, mainly on Aulonocara. I'm really confused about the bloat thing though.
What causes it? What can I do to avoid it? How can I tell if its about to happen? Which foods are best for avoiding it? Which foods should I stay away from?
I got two different types of food from Eddie at BlueGrassCichlids that he says he feeds to his fish regularly. I got one that is mostly based on protein and those type of foods. The other one is mostly based on veggies. I've been feeding them some Hikari Marine -A- pellets as well as some occasional Mysis shrimp. Any tips? Thanks!!
