Great little movie for the Catfish-lover, Thanks!!!
Can you tell me what the red stuff is that your winking L66 is eating??

And more, what's your secret that your catfishes are so active on the front? I have mines for over a year and i see them hardly outside their caves :( (L260&134)

Thanks, Ruud

The red granules look very much like red discus granules (TetraDiskus or similar). Lovely fish BTW......

Called Tetra Color Bits in the US.

The original post says its Prima which is made by Tetra. Never heard of it before but after researching the net found pictures and looks very much like the Color Bits.

Tetra's label says it is "For all mid-water and bottom feeding tropical fish".

Will have to check it out.

Tetra Prima they are called over here, thank's everyone :D . I have a tank with 12 L333's in and as soon as you enter the room they scatter, but in the video tank there is a 3 P.Denisoni, 3 Altum's, and some cory's and tetra's. If they want food they have to come out and get it, they have just got used to me and dont care how close to the tank i am.

Tetra Color Bits = Tetra Prima = Tetra Discus Prima - different markets have different names for the same product. Excellent food for many types of fish that like a meaty diet.
