The group of fish classified as Cichlids actually comprises a wide variety of different species with different nutritional requirements. Cichlids can be put into 4 different categories of carnivorous, herbivorous, omnivorous and micro-predators. Depending on the type of Cichlid they also have largely different requirements in the way of protein intake and the protein/lipids ratio of their food. Carnivorous and omnivorous fish require a comparatively high protein content whereas herbivorous Cichlids require a diet with a comparatively lower proportion of protein.
