You need to find a place called Hay U or Hey you or something like that.
then work out the mm size pellet you need
then order a sack of
(Prob barra or native fish grow).
ridleys aquaculture pellets through them.
Prob best to split it with a few mates as will be a 20kg or so sack.
WIth a bit of guile ya could split it with a breeder or lfs maybe.

Thats a lot of protien pellets!!!
From there it's broken down for hobbyists
In container form expect to prob pay around $15kg for them.
Often fish clubs can get ya good deals too.

Really depends on the cichlids but if they are big south americans a 20kg bag of aquaculture pellets is the go.
If you have a Malawi setup find some cheap spectrum or sera or something.

Myself I think the best food is home made.
Lots recipes but
1/2 vege and 1/2 seafood meat.
blend
add geletin and freeze in cubes.
A million extra ingredients to tailor to your species
like beef heart ala garlic for the discus
or European shrimp mix for the peacocks.
Sacrifice one or 2 hours mixing it up and freezing it,
and their food is done for the month.
Cheap and healthy fish.
Just gotta do the water changes.....

But ya which cichlids do you have?
