Description

Aqua-Pics Tank Buster (Whole Fish) 60g — Whole dried fish treat for predatory fish and turtles

A big cichlid or a turtle fed on pellets alone misses out on the whole-prey feeding that keeps its diet varied, and a whole dried fish is closer to natural prey than a processed pellet. Aqua-Pics Tank Buster (Whole Fish) 60g (SKU: 102230) is a pack of whole dried fish, each typically 40 to 50 mm long, sold as a feed for larger fish and turtles. The 60 g pack is the smaller of the two sizes in the range, suited to an occasional treat for one tank rather than a regular bulk feed.

Being whole, dried and bone-in, the fish give predatory and omnivorous species a feed closer to natural prey than flake or pellet food, and for turtles and terrapins the intact bone content is a source of calcium that a soft pelleted diet does not provide in the same form. Aqua-Pics does not publish a guaranteed analysis for this product, so it serves well as a supplementary or treat food alongside a species-appropriate staple diet rather than the only food offered. Being dried, it keeps well in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and does not need refrigeration until the pack is opened and partly used.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Large predatory fish: Cichlids, arowana and similar species that take whole prey items.
• Turtles and terrapins: Whole fish as a calcium-bearing supplement to pellets.
• Occasional treat feeding: Added to a varied diet rather than fed daily as a staple.
• Small collections: A 60 g pack sized for one or two animals rather than a full fish room.

Feeding Guide

• Offer whole: Feed the dried fish whole, sized for the fish or turtle being fed.
• Treat, not staple: Use alongside a regular pellet or flake diet, not as the sole food.
• Remove uneaten pieces: Take out anything left after feeding to keep water quality up.
• Match size to animal: Choose fish or portions appropriate to the size of the predator.
