nls cichlid formula 34% crude protein (if anything is formulated for africans its this)
hikari cichlid staple 35% crude protein, this is what i use are these not high quality

no one with their head on strait is gonna feed hbh cichlid attack on a regular basis, which is 45% crude protein by the way. Go on mfk and search around, many a idiot have lost fish from hbh cichlid attack, and personally i don't agree with feeding every other day either, and i would never recommend it, its best to feed smaller amounts through out the day, not a hole bunch every other day. Ive been keeping fish since i was able to read the ph tester, and ive had cases of bloat from all kinds of things,
not all africans are the same, some are a lot more sensitive to their diet then
others. Look who's changin now, ive stated from the get go bloat can be caused by both to much protein at one time and to much on a reg basis, as where you claimed its only caused by a steady diet with too much protein.

Woah a llittle defensive? I must be an Idiot then because I have been feeding my Mbuna HBH Cichlid Attack, and Hikari Boi Gold+ (Formulated for African Cichlids) 45% as their staple food for over five years and never even came close to loosing a single fish. As matter of fact my fish are very strong large and very nice looking. I feed all my fry including Africans the NLS Flake w/garlic 47-49% or the NLS Growth Formula 50% With no problems. Why don't you recommend every other day...What are the pros and cons? Most of my fish are full grown and would be overweight if they were fed every day. If i were going to take any African advice it would be from cichlid-forum....MFK seems to have your "I know it all and your way is wrong, leave the MFK attuitude at MFK"!
