Staple food for larger carnivorous cichlids sera Cichlid Red XL Nature is the staple food without dyes and preservatives consisting of gently manufactured granules. It is an excellent diet for larger, mainly carnivorous cichlids and omnivores. Due to its high amount of protein and omega fatty acids from aquatic sources as well as Haematococcus algae rich in astaxanthin, the granules are particularly tasty, have an excellent digestibility and support healthy development as well as color formation. The floating granules keep their shape and do not pollute the water.
