Mbunas are prodominantly herbivores to much protein is no good for them

You might consider giving them a 1-2 day "fast" and then feeding with Omega One Kelp Flakes to get them into greens. Most "veggie" foods still have a load of protein in, if you read the ingredients. We have our mbunas feeding on different foods almost every day -- but always incorporate veggie foods (pellet and flake form) into their diet regularly -- daily, or every other day.
