One female is now holding eggs in her mouth and not eating. I purchased the 1mm. Should have purchased the 3mm for the full grown cichlids. What was I thinking?. The fish dont care. They still love it. I did a lot of research on high quality African Cichlid food and this one kept popping up in every search. Made in Canada. They make a outstanding fish food!!! My fish love the Krill pellets by North Fin as well. Will buy again and again. Price is a little high but in my opinion worth it. Has a well balance nutrition for your Cichlids. This product does take a couple extra days to get to you compared to other fish foods I've ordered on desertcart. I ordered the 250g bag and Its going to last a couple months if not 3 to 4 months. We will have to see. I only have 4 full sized fish Im feeding with it. Review: Great Fish Food - I've tried numerous fish foods over the years, but Northfin Fish Food Cichlid Formula Slow Sinking Pellets truly stands out from the crowd. My cichlids have never looked healthier or more vibrant since I made the switch to this exceptional product. Firstly, I appreciate the high-quality ingredients used in this formula. It's evident that Northfin prioritizes the health and well-being of aquatic life, as every pellet is packed with essential nutrients and proteins to support optimal growth and coloration. What sets these pellets apart is their slow-sinking nature. This feature allows all my cichlids, regardless of size or swimming abilities, to enjoy a balanced diet without competition or waste. Plus, it mimics the natural feeding behavior of cichlids, promoting a more natural and enriching feeding experience. Another highlight is the minimal waste produced by these pellets. Unlike some other brands that leave behind residue, Northfin pellets are highly digestible, ensuring maximum nutrient absorption and minimal impact on water quality. This means less time spent on maintenance and more time enjoying my aquarium. Moreover, I'm impressed by the consistency of the pellet size and texture. It makes feeding a breeze and ensures that each fish receives the appropriate portion size without any hassle. Overall, Northfin Fish Food Cichlid Formula Slow Sinking Pellets has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From its premium ingredients to its thoughtful design, this product has earned its rightful place as a staple in my cichlid tank. I highly recommend it to any aquarist looking to provide their cichlids with top-notch nutrition and care. ## Features - WHOLE-INGREDIENT NUTRITION: Made with whole Antarctic krill as the first ingredient, plus herring, sardine and organic kelp, to deliver a nutrient-dense diet without low-value fillers. - DESIGNED FOR: All types of carnivorous and omnivorous cichlids, including peacocks, oscars and frontosa. 3mm pellet size suited to mid-size and larger cichlids. - FEEDING FORMAT: Slow-sinking format gives mid-water and bottom-feeding fish easy access and supports natural feeding behavior. - CRAFTED IN CANADA: Produced with NorthFin's low-heat steam-extrusion process and made without artificial colors or added hormones. - NUTRITION PROFILE: Minimum crude protein listed by NorthFin is 42%; use as directed and avoid overfeeding. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00M4Q1DY0 | | Additional Features | Filler-Free Formula, Fortified with Garlic, Low-Waste Formula, Natural Color Enhancement, Whole Antarctic Krill Meal | | Age Range (Description) | All Life Stages | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Animal Food Diet Type | Plant-Based | | Animal Food Ingredient Claim | Additive-Free, No Added Hormones, No Artificial Colors, No Artificial Flavors, Non-GMO | | Animal Food Nutrient Content Claim | High Protein | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,863 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #157 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand | Northfin | | Brand Name | Northfin | | Breed Recommendation | Large Breeds | | Container Type | Pouch | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,365 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Large | | Flavor | Krill | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00799975507675 | | Included Components | all | | Item Form | Pellet | | Item Shape | Pellet | | Item Type Name | Northfin Food Cichlid Formula 3Mm Pellet 100 Gram Package | | Item Weight | 100 g | | Manufacturer | NorthFin | | Manufacturer Part Number | 88131 | | Model Number | 88131 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Benefits | Digestive Health, Enhanced Color, High Protein Content, Immune System Support, Omega-3 Fatty Acids | | Recommended Uses For Product | Aquarium Fish, Cichlids, Freshwater Fish | | Special Ingredients | Organic Kelp, Spirulina, Chlorella, Chicory | | Specific Uses For Product | Increased health, coloration, and overall vitality | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 799975507675 | | Unit Count | 3.5 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Northfin - **Flavor:** Krill - **Item Form:** Pellet - **Specific Uses For Product:** Increased health, coloration, and overall vitality ## Images ![Northfin Cichlid Fish Food, Slow-Sinking Pellets, 3mm, 100g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hSmR0DdCL.jpg) ![Northfin Cichlid Fish Food, Slow-Sinking Pellets, 3mm, 100g - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rNlyLMUvL.jpg) ![Northfin Cichlid Fish Food, Slow-Sinking Pellets, 3mm, 100g - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ovU8ApJXL.jpg) ![Northfin Cichlid Fish Food, Slow-Sinking Pellets, 3mm, 100g - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DiUaguqdL.jpg) ![Northfin Cichlid Fish Food, Slow-Sinking Pellets, 3mm, 100g - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81W+i5xJo0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: It says 3mm I mistakenly bought 2mm way too small is this 3mm big enough for my Oscar** A: My large African cichlids are much happier with the 3mm than they were with the 2mm.

Color and Health *by A***D on December 21, 2025* This cost more then my previous food so I was leery. I have no idea on size and bought 2mm. Will need larger for my big boy. "Cheddar" is a 5yr old blood orange cichlid and usually has a white or pale orange look. This food however is worth the price. HIS COLOR!! Fabulous! All fish in this tank and my African cichlid tank seem healthier. ## Frequently Bought Together - Northfin Cichlid Formula Fish Food – Slow Sinking Pellets for Cichlids (3mm, 100g) | Premium High-Protein, All-Natural Cichlid Diet to Enhance Color & Growth – No Fillers, No Hormones, Made in Canada - Northfin Veggie Fish Food Formula – Slow Sinking Pellets for Herbivorous Fish (3mm, 100g) | Premium Organic Kelp-Based Diet with Spirulina & Astaxanthin for Enhanced Color & Digestive Health - Fluval Bug Bites Cichlid Fish Food, Pellets for Medium to Large Sized Fish, 3.53 oz., A6581 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/32109562-northfin-cichlid-fish-food-slow-sinking-pellets-3mm-100g](https://www.desertcart.us/products/32109562-northfin-cichlid-fish-food-slow-sinking-pellets-3mm-100g) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
