From what I've heard and read about them...

There are 2 versions of their cichlid pellets: African and American. The african pellets are made of really high quality algae extracts, fantasitc for Mbunas. However they group all 'africans' together, so this formula may not be the greatest for Haps, peacocks, other carnivores. The American version is made primarily of fish and shrimp meal, which would be more beneficial for most South/Central American cichlids, but also really good for Fronts and other carnivorous Malawis. If you're going to try it out I would feed a mix of both to haps and peacocks, and just the african formula to Mbunas. If you can't mix, I believe the NLS formula has a more balanced diet that would be appropriate for a mixed group.

Anyone keeping tropheus should try out the african blend!
