Produced Foods

Frozen organism

Bear in mind, the frozen organism can get rotten, so it is very important to store them at a very low temperature.

Frozen Food

Once again, it is not only frozen fish, but any other frozen food that is most likely your tetras are going to eat. Be aware that in their natural habitat, tetras eat insects, larva, and tiny organisms. Therefore, you can not feed frozen fish directly to your terta. You can cut them into very small sizes or blend them and make pallets out of it.

Living organisms

Tetras love to eat tiny living creatures, just like they eat in their natural habitat. Some living organisms for tetras are small shrimp, flies, and micro-worms. You don’t have to buy any of these. Just go to the river or lake and get those as your tetras fish food, or any place that are mostly worms can live there. Make sure those living organisms do not carry parasites. You can boil them for safety before you feed them to you tetras.

So, there you have it. You can mix those tetras fish food if you want, to add more varieties to your fish diet.
