Tetra bits?

Hey guys-I am looking for Tetra bits for my clowns & barbs but I only find the Tertra bits breeder red one which seems is for discus??

 

Or is it PRIMA?

 

Sorry when it first came out it was tetra bits, now its tetra prima,

 

Thank you very much...it is small pieces hey hahaha...hope filters doesn't suck it all up...

 

It gets eaten way before it can reach the filter,

 

My flow in the tank is 3000L/hr in the 4ft...It is very strong & the clowns love it

 

Yep u have to have good filtration for clowns, and temp must be constant,

 

They also appreciate clean water. They can be very sensitive as well. Keep them on the warmer side.

 

Thanks reedfish

 

Thanks guys...Yup-that internal filter really does a good job...And the two canisters with 500ml purigen & 1.5L Matrix is a bonus! (Purigen all in one canister , Matrix split in two with one of the canisters also on ceramics rings-so there is lots for bacteria to grow on...Keeping temp on 27 degrees , but I am gonna put it on 28 now for just in case a power cut comes & it drops...

 

Neltf your profile does not have location on it - maybe update that. As for temperature drops and since you tank is in a living space - you can always add a blanket over it either during the night (saves huge on electricity) or when you have a power-outage.

I would consider better tank insulation before heating a tank extra just in-case of a power-outage.

Thank you...So you think 27 is okay? Or must I go down to 26...?

 

I am assuming we talking about these tank busters as the relevant clown? Clown Loach (Chromobotia macracanthus) Loaches Online

My experience they will even do ok at much much lower temps - but they do not like fast swings that much (so think WC time). The higher one pushes the normal temp the more preparation you need to do when you want to do a quick WC. Depending on the other tank mates I would even over the longer term consider dropping it below 25 but that is just me. *Lower temps means less waist / eating etc.

Whatever you decide, do not make big moves so dropping the temp.

Cool...Thank you...Yes those are them , going 6ft next year I will perhaps drop temp with 1 degree down to 26...
