Tropical Biorept Supreme Young Turtle Food

Tropical Biorept Supreme Young is a probiotic-enriched food developed specifically for young and growing aquatic and semi-aquatic turtles. Formulated to support healthy shell development and digestive function from the early stages of life, it suits a wide range of species including Trachemys, Mauremys, Ocadia, Malaclemys, Clemmys, Kinosternon, Sternotherus, Claudius, Apalone, Pelodiscus, Chelydra, and Macrochelys — appropriate for turtles with a minimum carapace length of 4 cm.

Key Ingredients

• Krill (10%) and shrimp (10%) — high palatability marine protein sources
• Squid (6%) — additional mollusc-derived protein and aroma stimulus
• Hermetia illucens (black soldier fly larvae) — naturally balanced amino acids, calcium, and phosphorus
• Bacillus subtilis probiotic
• Astaxanthin — natural colour-enhancing carotenoid
• Calcium to phosphorus ratio: 2:1

Soft Texture, High Palatability

The food's soft texture closely reflects the consistency of prey items found naturally in aquatic environments, encouraging uptake even in juveniles. The combined aroma of fish, crustaceans, and molluscs drives strong feeding responses, making it well suited to turtles that can be reluctant feeders in captivity.

Probiotic and Gut Health Support

Each serving delivers Bacillus subtilis, a well-researched probiotic strain that stabilises intestinal microflora and improves nutrient utilisation. A direct practical benefit for keepers is a measurable reduction in faecal odour and less organic waste entering the water — a meaningful advantage in any aquatic or semi-aquatic setup.

Shell and Skeletal Development

Hermetia illucens larvae contribute essential amino acids alongside calcium and phosphorus in a ratio that mirrors natural dietary balance — something not reliably achieved through conventional insect ingredients alone. Combined with the 2:1 calcium to phosphorus ratio across the full formula, this supports correct carapace formation and skeletal integrity during the critical growth phase.

Versatile Use

While formulated for young turtles, Tropical Biorept Supreme Young can also serve as a high-protein food source for large predatory fish. Available in two sizes to suit different setups and stock levels — choose the right option from the variants listed on this page.

For keepers raising aquatic or semi-aquatic turtles through their early growth stages, this is a nutritionally considered food that addresses gut health, water quality, and developmental requirements in a single formula.
