Aquarium fish food Tetra Cichlid Sticks 500 ml – for cichlids and large tropical fish

Tetra Cichlid Sticks 500 ml is a complete daily food formulated specifically for cichlids and other large tropical freshwater fish. Supplied as nutrient-dense sinking sticks, this feed supports balanced growth, vitality and natural colouration in medium-to-large species kept in home and display aquariums. The recipe is adapted to the feeding habits of bottom- and mid-water cichlids, providing a stable portioning format and stable water compatibility when used as directed.

Advantages

The sinking stick form enables direct feeding to cichlids that forage below the water surface and reduces waste at the surface. The formulation supplies essential proteins, vitamins and trace elements for growth and physiological functions while containing ingredients that help maintain natural colour tones. The 500 ml format offers practical daily portions and is suitable for routine feeding schedules without frequent refilling.

Suitable for

• Adult and juvenile cichlid species in freshwater aquariums
• Other large tropical freshwater fish with mid-to-bottom feeding behaviour
• Community tanks where larger omnivorous or carnivorous fish are present
• Display and home aquariums requiring stable, easy-to-dose daily feeding

Key specifications

• Feed form: sinking sticks designed for mid- and bottom-feeding fish
• Volume: 500 ml container suitable for regular home aquarium use
• Nutrition: balanced mix of proteins, fats, vitamins and trace elements
• Target species: medium-to-large cichlids and similar tropical freshwater fish
• Intended use: daily maintenance feeding to support growth and colour

How to use

Offer an amount that the fish consume within a few minutes, adjusting quantity to fish size, number and activity. Place the sinking sticks directly into the aquarium so they reach the mid or bottom water layer where cichlids typically feed. Feed two to three times daily for adult fish or more frequently in smaller quantities for juveniles. Remove uneaten food after feeding to maintain water quality and follow routine aquarium maintenance practices.

Usage recommendations

Store the product in a cool, dry place and close the container after each use to preserve freshness. When introducing new fish or changing diet, monitor feeding behaviour and adjust portions gradually. Combine with occasional variation in diet—such as frozen or live foods—if required for species-specific nutritional needs.
