besides the standard fish flake I used to feed mine blood worms and dried shrimp.

Since dried shrimp in a can can be $$$ , I discovered that I could get a very large bag at a local Oriental food store.
Which was a fraction of the price at the pet store. I fed them these for a number of years without any problems.

I've since stopped doing this because the shrimp shells are usually spit out by the Cichlids causing the bottom to become more dirty after a long period of time.
