Question 1

What is the difference between the 30g and 93g packs?

Accepted Answer

The 30g Entry pack at Rs 199 (Rs 6.63 per gram) is ideal for a single small community tank of 10–20 fish — at the correct serving size it lasts approximately 2–4 months, well within the opened freshness window. The 93g Best Value pack at Rs 439 (Rs 4.72 per gram) is approximately 29% cheaper per gram and approximately triple the volume — ideal for larger tanks, multiple tanks, or regular buyers who want a longer supply with fewer orders. Both packs maintain 12–18 months quality when sealed; after opening, 6 months when properly resealed. For anyone with more than one community tank, the 93g is the economical choice.

Question 2

What community fish is Tetra Bits best for?

Accepted Answer

Tetra Bits is formulated for small to medium tropical community fish — tetras (Neon, Cardinal, Rummy-nose, Ember, Glowlight, Black Skirt, Congo and others), rasboras (Harlequin, Galaxy, Lambchop, Chili), barbs (Cherry, Tiger, Rosy, Gold) and danios (Zebra, Pearl, Leopard). It is also suitable for gouramis, livebearers (guppies, platies, mollies), small catfish and Corydoras as a community tank staple food. The slowly-sinking granule format particularly suits mid-water feeders like tetras and rasboras.

Question 3

How do granules compare to flake food for community tanks?

Accepted Answer

Granules offer several practical advantages over flakes for community tanks. Granules sink slowly but predictably, giving mid-water feeders adequate feeding time at their natural depth rather than competing at the surface. Granules hold their form after softening — they do not break apart and cloud the water the way flakes do. Less dissolved organic waste means better water quality and less frequent water changes needed. The main advantage flakes retain is fine particle size for very small-mouthed fish — for these species, Tetra Bits granules can be crushed between fingers before adding to the tank.

Question 4

How much should I feed and how often?

Accepted Answer

Feed a small pinch — approximately 10–20 granules per 10 fish — at each of two daily feeding sessions (morning and evening). Only offer what the fish consume within 2–3 minutes, and remove any uneaten granules after this window to protect water quality. Overfeeding is the most common cause of poor water quality in community tanks — a small amount of food consumed completely is far better than a large amount with waste settling on the substrate. Include one fasting day per week for adult fish to support digestive health.

Question 5

Can I use Tetra Bits for Ember Tetras and Chili Rasboras?

Accepted Answer

Tetra Bits granules work for Ember Tetras and Chili Rasboras with a simple modification: crush 3–5 granules between your fingers before adding to the tank. This produces fine particles appropriate for very small mouths (under 1 cm). Fish over approximately 1.5 cm body length typically accept whole granules without difficulty. For the smallest nano fish, supplementing with live Microworms or Cyclops nauplii alongside crushed Tetra Bits provides the ideal nano feeding program combining dry food convenience with live food nutritional benefits.

Question 6

Does Tetra Bits improve fish colour?

Accepted Answer

Tetra Bits contains natural carotenoid pigments that support colour expression in red, orange and blue-pigmented tropical fish. Consistent feeding over 3–4 weeks typically produces visible colour improvement in Neon and Cardinal Tetras (red stripe), Rummy-nose Tetras (red head), Cherry Barbs (red body) and similar species. For the most pronounced colour enhancement, supplement Tetra Bits 2–3 times per week with live Cyclops or Frozen Moina from Microworms.in — the natural astaxanthin in these live foods is synergistic with the carotenoids in Tetra Bits for significantly more vivid results than Tetra Bits alone.

Question 7

How long will each pack last?

Accepted Answer

At the correct serving of 10–20 granules per 10 fish twice daily: the 30g pack lasts approximately 2–4 months for a tank of 10–20 small fish. The 93g pack lasts approximately 6–12 months for the same tank, or 2–4 months for a larger tank of 40–60 fish. Tanks with larger fish or more fish will use food faster. Both pack sizes maintain quality for 6 months after opening when properly resealed and stored in a cool, dry location. The 93g pack used within 6 months is safe for tanks with 20+ fish or multiple tank setups.

Question 8

Is Tetra Bits suitable for a mixed community with Corydoras?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Tetra Bits works well in mixed community tanks with Corydoras. Mid-water and upper-water feeders (tetras, rasboras, barbs) consume the granules as they sink, and any granules that settle to the substrate are picked up by Corydoras in their natural bottom-feeding behaviour. Corydoras do not get sufficient bottom-specific nutrition from granules alone in competitive tanks — adding dedicated sinking wafers or bottom feeder tablets specifically for the Corydoras ensures they receive adequate feeding without competition from faster mid-water feeders.
