I have tried blood worms( which they seem to like but i have hears that they shouldn’t have to much protein, brine shrimp, (flakes, floating pellets and sinking pellets they used to like this stuff but don’t really seem to want to touch it anymore) I have heard that you can use fresh veggie but i am not sure what kind and if I have to cook it first or not.
thank you in advance
What are spirulina flakes and where do you get them from?

I’m trying to get a tank of African Cichlids up and running for my husband. I have very little experience with fish, but have done a little bit of research. I have a 29 gallon tank with a heater (It’s 79 degrees). The ph of my water is about 8.2, and I have gravel, some artificial plants, and a lot of large rock for them to hide in. I had the tank up and running with no fish in it for about 3 weeks before I got the fish. Last week I got 11 small africans and put them in the tank after acclimating them, and they all died in the last 2 days. They didn’t appear to be ill, looked healthy, and were eating some flake food and brine shrimp. I’m going to take a water sample and a couple of the fish back to the pet shop to have them checked, but would like some input. My husband has had cichlids in the past (lost them in his divorce), and I’m trying to get a new tank up and running as a surprise for him. I’m getting pretty frustrated with it, though.
