Not necessarily. My maxima was only 1.5" and did not need any supplemental feeding. I was a bit uneasy about buying one this small but was assured by Ken @ BW that he'd be just fine without feeding. He gave me some live rotifers but I didn't have to target feed at all. Just threw a capfull in the display every day.
