Life AAYU Cichlid Regular – Daily Nutrition for Healthy, Active & Colourful Cichlids

Life AAYU Cichlid Regular delivers complete and balanced nutrition designed specifically for the dietary needs of cichlids. These pellets combine high-quality proteins, spirulina, algae extract, natural carotenoids and essential micronutrients to promote vibrant colours, strong muscles, active behaviour and robust immunity. Cichlids are highly energetic fish that require a nutritionally dense diet, and this formula provides the perfect balance of digestibility and nutrient content.

The slow-softening pellets float at the surface, encouraging natural feeding patterns and preventing the rapid sinking that often leads to wasted food. Their gentle consistency protects cichlids from bloating or digestive stress—especially important for species like African mbunas and South American varieties with sensitive digestion. Regular feeding helps maintain perfect body shape, bright coloration and stable health.

Suitable for most medium-sized cichlids, this food works exceptionally well in community cichlid tanks, semi-aggressive setups and planted aquariums containing herbivorous or omnivorous cichlid species.
