TetraPrima is the UK’s most popular special food. It is specifically designed for feeding mid-water and bottom-feeding fish, which prefer to feed from the middle and lower levels of the aquarium. Prima sinks slowly, allowing these fish to feed naturally. Prima is ideal for medium to large fish such as angelfish, barbs, clown loach, and especially discus.

However, many smaller aquarium fish also prefer to feed from the middle or bottom of the aquarium, but for them TetraPrima is too large. Now Tetra has launched TetraPrima MiniGranules, to precisely cater for the natural feeding needs of these fish.

TetraPrima MiniGranules are much smaller than TetraPrima, and therefore ideal for many common community fish.

What are TetraPrima MiniGranules?

Prima MiniGranules consist of a mix of herbivore and omnivore granules, to cater for the varied nutritional needs of popular aquarium fish. They also contain ActiveFormula, for reducing stress and improving resistance to disease.

They offer a complete, daily food for all small mid-water and bottom-feeding tropical fish, and should be fed in conjunction with your fishes’ usually food (e.g. TetraMin).
Which fish will benefit from TetraPrima MiniGranules?

Although all fish can eat MiniGranules, it is small mid-water and bottom-feeding fish that will benefit most. In particular, many commonly kept tetras and barbs have evolved to feed on a slow-sinking food. In the wild, this would include small insects, suspended plankton, and other food items that are found in the water column of lakes and rivers.

You can tell a little about what sort of food a fish is adapted to eat by the shape and position of its mouth. For example, look at the two pictures below:

The cardinal tetra on the left has a forward pointing mouth, which is perfect for picking up food items in the water column. The platy on the right has an upward facing mouth, and therefore is more adapted for feeding from the surface. TetraPrima MiniGranules would be ideal for the cardinal tetra, whereas TetraMin flake or crisps would be better for the platy.
