Hi!
I am giving Astra Reptilia Turtle Sticks to my RES but I am wondering if Tetra Reptomin would be better choice? Those two are readily available where I live. They both have quite similar specs but is there something I should know more? Thanks for advice!

They don't list Calcium or Phosphorus content on their site. Reptomin is fairly reputable, so I'd go for that.

Thanks Steve!
Actually there is calcium and phosphorus concs in their site (www.astra-aquaria.de): calcium 2.9% and phosphorus 2.0%.

Oh, thanks! This was the page I looked at http://astra-aquaria.de/index.php?id=49

I think Reptomin+cuttlebone would be a good way to go.

My first turt was over over lived around 20 year eating Reptomin, the green and yellow kind.

Thanks! I will try Reptomin also. Now she is happily eating Astra which seems to be high-quality food by the specs.
