Alternative Fish Food For Tetras

[Dunkal]

Hi, I have a shoal of 7 tetras and are quite small. They find they flake food a bit big to awallow. Any ideas for alternative food apart from flake food??

mine go crazy for daphnia (live or frozen), bloodworms (live or frozen) and brine shrimp (live or frozen), and you can also just crumble up the flake food before you put it in so its in smaller bits.

AquaOne make something called micro pellets designed for the smaller, mid water fish. It's very good

Hi i've got all tetras i just put a small amount in the palm of my hand and crush it a bit so it's smaller for them to eat.I also give them as a treat some brine shrimp or blood worm.

Thanks guys, should couple of flakes for 7 x ray tetras be enough in morning and afternoon?

Sounds good.

A fish only really needs one bite.
