TETRAS LOVE MICRO PELLETS
Most Tetras will readily take most smaller foods used in the hobby. Care should be taken to ensure that the food of choice is not too large for them to properly eat and digest. They tend to nibble at their food, leaching of the nutrients is also an issue. For this reason choosing a product like Micro Pellets, which is a small , rapidly softening pellet when put in water and micro-coated to lock in the necessary nutrition. Feed them more often, smaller amounts of food, use an amount they will completely consume within about 30 seconds. Care should be taken to avoid over-feeding and the water quality issues that can result. Try Ultimate for outstanding water quality!
In their natural habitat, neon tetras are omnivores, eating both meat and vegetables/plant matter. Fortunately for aquarium keepers, they enjoy eating all different types of food including pellets, frozen, freeze dried, flake and live. As always, a high quality, formulated diet should be the basis of their daily nutrition.
