Description
Sera Cichlid Malawi Granules
Sera Cichlid Malawi Granules are a premium staple food developed for herbivorous and omnivorous cichlids, particularly many East African Malawi species. These slow-sinking granules provide balanced, plant-focused nutrition that supports healthy digestion, strong development and natural colour expression.
As part of the Sera Nature range, this food is gently manufactured without dyes or preservatives. The formulation reflects the natural feeding habits of cichlids that graze on plants and periphyton, delivering nutrition close to nature while helping maintain excellent water quality.
Staple food for Malawi and plant-eating cichlids
Cichlid Malawi Granules are designed as a complete daily staple for small to medium cichlids that mainly eat plants and periphyton. This includes many East African Malawi species with specialised grazing behaviour.
The slow-sinking granules suit cichlids that feed throughout the water column rather than exclusively at the surface.
With spirulina and herbal ingredients
The formula contains 4% spirulina along with high quality herbal components such as spinach. These ingredients supply natural carotenoids, minerals, trace elements and fibres that contribute to balanced nutrition.
This composition supports strong development and efficient nutrient utilisation.
Supports healthy digestion
Herbivorous and omnivorous cichlids require fibre-rich diets to maintain gut health. The balanced plant-based formulation supports healthy digestion and reduces the risk of diet-related issues.
Enhances natural coloration
Natural carotenoids from spirulina and plant ingredients support optimal colour development without artificial additives. Regular feeding helps maintain vivid, species-appropriate colours.
Slow-sinking granules that protect water quality
The granules sink slowly, retain their shape for a long time and do not cloud the water. This reduces waste and helps maintain clear, stable aquarium conditions.
Cleaner water supports healthier fish and simplifies aquarium maintenance.
Nutrition close to nature
Cichlids display diverse feeding strategies, even within the same dietary group. Sera has developed multiple specialised foods to meet these varied requirements.
All Sera Nature aquarium foods are free from dyes and preservatives and focus on functional, natural ingredients.
