Tropical Biorept Supreme Adult Semi-Aquatic Turtle Food

Tropical Biorept Supreme Adult is a probiotic-enriched food developed specifically for adult semi-aquatic turtles. It covers a wide range of commonly kept species — including Trachemys, Pseudemys, Mauremys, Ocadia, Malaclemys, Clemmys, Kinosternon, Sternotherus, and Claudius — making it a reliable staple for keepers who want a nutritionally complete diet rather than a generic aquatic turtle pellet.

Ingredients and Formulation

• Shrimp (8%) and krill (2%) for palatability and natural aroma
• Squid (3%) for additional protein and feeding stimulus
• Hermetia illucens (black soldier fly larvae) — supplying essential amino acids, calcium, and phosphorus in a naturally balanced ratio
• Narrowleaf plantain and dandelion — providing plant-based compounds that support general health
• Bacillus subtilis probiotic
• Astaxanthin for natural colouration support
• Added vitamins, micro- and macroelements

Nutrition for Adult Turtles

The macronutrient profile — protein, fat, and fibre — is calibrated for adult semi-aquatic turtles rather than juveniles, supporting healthy body condition without overloading growth pathways. The calcium to phosphorus ratio is set at 2:1, which alongside added vitamins and minerals helps prevent metabolic bone disease and maintains shell integrity across the long term.

Soft Texture and High Palatability

The food has a soft texture designed to replicate the consistency of natural food items turtles encounter in the wild. Combined with the rich aroma of fish, crustacean, and mollusc ingredients, acceptance rates are high even in individuals that can be selective feeders. It can also serve as a supplementary food for large omnivorous fish sharing an aquatic setup.

Probiotic Benefits and Water Quality

The inclusion of Bacillus subtilis helps stabilise intestinal microflora, improving nutrient utilisation and reducing faecal odour. Critically for turtle keepers, it also helps minimise water pollution — a meaningful advantage in aquatic setups where water quality directly affects animal health and filter load.
