The beautiful cichlid is not picky about the feed. When it is raised, it can be fed with live bait, or it can be fed with ordinary dry fish food. If you want to feed live bait, you can choose some small aquatic insects, such as red worms, nematodes and so on. Before feeding live bait, we should disinfect the bait first, so as to avoid the fish getting sick because of the dirty bait. If you want to feed dried fish food, you can feed Lili fish special fish food. This kind of fish food is very good for their growth. If not, you can feed cichlids fish food.
The cichlid can eat shrimp. They may not eat bigger shrimps, but they will eat smaller shrimps. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to put cichlid and shrimp in the same fish tank. Because they can eat shrimp, they can also be fed with chopped shrimp meat when they are raised. However, if you want to feed it shrimp meat, you should pay attention to disinfection. Because if there are bacteria in shrimp meat, it may cause them to get enteritis.
When raising the Lili fish, you can feed it once a day. Every time you feed, you should pay attention to controlling the amount of feed, do not give it too much feed. Because they will not control the amount of food, if given more feed, it is easy to eat too much. It is recommended that they be fed until they are 7-8% full each time.
