Food Change - NLS or Veggie Deluxe

[mikeb144]

I need some advice about feeding my new colony of Tropheus. They have been eating a combo. of NLS and Dainichi Veggie. Should I stick with this combo or feed straight Veggie Deluxe. I have herd of some people having trouble with bloat feeding NLS. What do ya'll think. Any advice you give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike in Beaumont

I fed my colony exactly the same thing the previous owner was feeding them.....I never lost any of my trophs, until I started changing up their diet and or water change schedule.

I'd stick to what they have been eating....unless they show signs of distress??? See what others have to say too....

I have never had an issue with feeding NLS. I have been feeding the same exact combo as you for well over a year now without a single issue.

Mike,

If your new colony was already established and eating a combination of Veggie Deluxe and New Life Spectrum (NLS) I would stay with that. It is always better to do that in my opinion.

I have read more bloat stories from messing around with their food, than I have read on NLS alone.

The key with any pellet food is not to over feed them and please please keep their water clean. That's the key.

Both?

My experience is limited but I feed both and have had no issues

Thanks Guys. I just needed some reinforcement, I am not going to change anything. My water quality will not be an issue. More questions to follow.....

I've fed a lot of different things to my tropheus before.

I think it's more important to feed them high quality food and whenever you switch do it slowly over the course of 2-4 weeks.
