Feeding Guidelines for South & Central American Cichlids

Feed small amounts 1–3 times daily, offering only what your fish will consume in a few minutes to minimize waste and maintain water quality. The floating 3mm sticks are ideal for larger tropical species that naturally feed at or near the water surface. This northfin tropical sticks formula works especially well for:

• Large South American cichlids (e.g., Oscars, Severums, Uaru)
• Large Central American cichlids
• Community tanks with larger omnivores that require substantial protein

Practical tip: For picky eaters, soak a piece briefly in tank water to soften and release aromas. Alternating this northfin tropical sticks formula with occasional frozen or live foods (krill, mysis shrimp) will further enhance nutrition and stimulate natural feeding behaviors.

Storage & Handling to Preserve Omega-3s

Store in a cool, dry place and reseal tightly after each use to retain freshness. Refrigerate or freeze unopened pouches for long-term storage if you live in a hot, humid climate. Following these steps preserves the potency of vitamins and omega fatty acids in the northfin tropical sticks formula.

Natural Color Enhancers & Immune Support

1. Premium Protein Sources: Whole fish meals and krill for natural amino acids.
2. Natural Color Enhancers: Astaxanthin and spirulina to build intense, natural hues.
3. Immune Support: Vitamins A, C, D3 and trace minerals help resist disease.
4. No Artificial Fillers: No unnecessary binders, colorants or cheap vegetable meal replacements.

NorthFin Tropical Sticks Formula is not only a daily food—it's a strategic dietary choice to support long-term health, breeding readiness, and visible color improvement in large tropical fish. Use it as a staple, and complement with occasional live, frozen, or fresh foods to round out your fish's dietary needs.
