Try soaking the veggies in garlic juice first. Sometimes the smell tricks them into taking a bite.

Malawi cichlids thrive on a balanced diet. I'd recommend 60% spirulina-based flakes or pellets, 30% protein like brine shrimp or bloodworms, and 10% blanched veggies like zucchini. Keep an eye on their aggression during feeding, it can get messy.
