No worries. They'll eat before they starve Make sure you are not
overfeeding them.




Good, i feel better! I feed them a small pinch of flakes every other
day,
but like i said, i just got them so i only fed them twice. THey just
seemed
very disinterested in food.


You might ask LFS what they were feeding. Sometimes fish are reluctant
to take a new food.

Mbuna's such as you have are almost exclusively vegetarian - I feed mine
Spirulina sticks but also supplement with some brine shrimp....check out:-

This will give you the specific diet requirements for your fish. I was
always advised to avoid standard "flake" for these fish although I am sure
some do very well on it.
