NT Labs Cichlid Green Gran:
Product Specifications & Usage Guide
NT Labs Cichlid Green Gran is a premium, slow-sinking pellet specifically formulated for herbivorous and omnivorous cichlids, particularly those from the African Rift Lakes (Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria). It is designed to provide a balanced diet while promoting health and vibrant colouration.
Product Overview.
- Manufacturer: NT Labs (UK-based aquatic specialists).
- Food Type: Slow-sinking granule (approx. 0.8mm – 1.2mm).
- Target Species: Ideal for Mbuna (e.g., Rusty Cichlids, Yellow Labs), Shell-dwellers, and other algae-grazing species.
- Key Benefit: Formulated to be highly digestible to prevent “Malawi Bloat,” a common digestive issue in herbivorous cichlids.
Nutritional Benefits.
- High Spirulina Content: Rich in Spirulina platensis to enhance natural greens, blues, and iridescent scales.
- Plant-Based Proteins: Uses high-quality vegetable proteins and alfalfa to mimic the “Aufwuchs” (algae and biofilm) that these fish graze on in the wild.
- Immune Support: Contains “Stimune” (beta-glucans), which helps the fish’s immune system stay primed against disease and stress.
- Vitamin Boost: Enriched with a multi-vitamin mix and minerals to support long-term vitality and bone structure.
Feeding Instructions.
Cichlids are opportunistic feeders and can easily overeat, leading to water quality issues.
- Frequency: Feed 2–3 times daily.
- Quantity: Only provide as much as the fish can consume within 2–3 minutes.
- Technique: The granules sink slowly, allowing fish at different levels of the water column to feed. For shy bottom-dwellers (like Shell-dwellers), ensure some granules reach the substrate.
- Maintenance: Always remove any uneaten food promptly to prevent ammonia spikes.

Why Choose Green Gran?.
In a mixed Tanganyikan or Malawian setup, many fish require a diet low in terrestrial fats and high in fibre. NT Labs Green Gran provides the necessary roughage to keep their long digestive tracts moving, reducing the risk of internal infections while maintaining the high energy levels needed for their active, territorial behaviours.
Storage.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Ensure the lid is replaced tightly after every use to maintain freshness and nutritional potency.
- Use within 6 months of opening for best results.
