Tropical Biorept Supreme Young Food

Tropical Biorept Supreme Young is a probiotic-enriched food designed specifically for young and growing aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles. Formulated to support healthy shell development and overall condition during the critical early growth phase, it suits a wide range of species including Trachemys, Mauremys, Ocadia, Malaclemys, Clemmys, Kinosternon, Sternotherus, Claudius, Apalone, Pelodiscus, Chelydra, and Macrochelys — for turtles with a minimum carapace length of 4 cm.

Key Ingredients

• Krill (10%) and shrimp (10%) for high palatability and natural protein
• Squid (6%) for additional amino acid profile and aroma
• Hermetia illucens (black soldier fly larvae) — a naturally balanced source of essential amino acids, calcium, and phosphorus
• Bacillus subtilis probiotic
• Astaxanthin for natural colour enhancement

Texture and Palatability

The soft texture of each piece closely mirrors the consistency of natural food sources, encouraging acceptance even from young or newly established turtles. The combined aroma of fish, crustaceans, and molluscs drives strong feeding responses, making it a reliable daily diet rather than an occasional supplement.

Probiotic Support and Water Quality

The inclusion of Bacillus subtilis directly addresses one of the most common challenges in turtle keeping. This probiotic stabilises intestinal microflora, improves nutrient utilisation, reduces faecal odour, and minimises the organic waste load entering the water — a meaningful benefit for keepers who want to maintain cleaner aquatic environments between water changes.

Shell and Skeletal Development

A balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 2:1, supported by the naturally occurring mineral profile within Hermetia illucens larvae, provides the building blocks for proper carapace and skeletal development. Astaxanthin further contributes by enhancing the natural pigmentation of growing turtles. This is not simply a feeding food — it is a structured nutritional programme for the juvenile stage.

Versatility

Tropical Biorept Supreme Young can also serve as a high-protein food for large predatory fish, making it a useful addition to any aquatic setup where varied species are kept together.

Available in two sizes to suit different collection sizes and feeding volumes — select the option that fits your setup from the variants above. Whether you keep a single juvenile turtle or a group of growing specimens, there is a pack size suited to your routine.
