No, doesn't work. The thing about Tropheus is that they have a very long intestinal tract that's adapted to digesting plant material (high-fibre). It's not so much that they aren't getting the plant material from their food, but rather that the high protein content found in most conventional cichlid foods does not pass through their gut properly and causes bloat.
