Tetra Malawi Flakes, 1 l

Tetra Malawi Flakes are particularly suitable as a staple food for herbivorous cichlids such as the algae eaters from the mbuna group. The high-quality mixture of three types of algae - spirulina, nori and chlorella - is specially suited to the needs of these fish.

This balanced algae mixture supports normal digestion and general vitality.
The formulation with natural ingredients, high-quality proteins and no colourants or added preservatives promotes normal immunity and healthy resistance. High acceptance and digestibility also ensure that the aquarium water stays clean for a long time.

Why Tetra Malawi Flakes?

There are several reasons: Mbuna cichlids in the wild continuously graze on algae-covered stones and rocks. Non-stop eating is vital for these fish in order to meet their daily nutrient requirements with the relatively low-nutrient algae.
The feeding behaviour of these fish remains unchanged in an aquarium. This means that the fish eat everything that is offered to them. However, this behaviour can quickly lead to obesity if the food is very high in calories. It is therefore crucial that a diet for mbuna cichlids while rich in all the essential nutrients and vitamins, should not lead to obesity.

Tetra Malawi Flakes fulfils these requirements. Protein-rich Spirulina platensis supports the immune system, while Chlorella supplies essential fatty acids and Nori algae provides additional important fibre and minerals.
The food is rich in vegetable proteins and important nutrients which promote digestion and vitality in cichlids.
