Cardinal Tetra Diet

[Lars6]

I am pumped to say I recently got 12 cardinal tetras for my 20 gallon long. I was planning on feeding them a diet of mainly freeze dried blood worms. Is this okay?

Bloodworms should be fed occasionally I suggest the smallest pellet preferably New Life Spectrum brand also crushed flake food will be fine in rotation.

Will the New Life Spectrum small fish formula be fine? It has .5 mm pellet size so I worry about the tetras being able to spot it or not.

They will spot them.https://www.chewy.com/new-life-spec...pmrQaOvr5EUt0WmA7ZTF8DBTh1_--4wcaAv-nEALw_wcB

Like above, freeze dried bloodworms shouldn't be more than an occasional food. Good quality flakes or small pellets with frozen or freeze dried food occasionally.

They're not picky eaters, pretty low maintenance.
