Review: Surprising amount of fish food! Great value. The fish love it. My 2nd time buying. - This food is very good quality. This container of 4.52 pounds is an extremely large amount of fish food. And it's a great value for the money. I am on my 2nd one now. I give it to all my fish. It is colorful. All the fish like it. It smells like fish food. My guppies, mollies, platy, goldfish, grouramis, cichlids, and even the catfish all eat it. I give them some other food every once in awhile too, but this is mostly what they eat. I have never had a single problem from it. It doesn't cloudy up my water unless I really over do it. I think they like the way that it tastes. My fish prefer this over other brands I have tried before. This is enough food to last most fish owners several years. I refill smaller containers with the large container every once in awhile so it will stay fresh. I am careful not to crush it. Review: Great price - This deal was even better than at other pet stores! Exactly the same product I buy for my beta fish and she loves it! Easy to store and easy to measure for feeding. This will definitely last me a fish’s lifetime. Flakes are thin and very flaky, different sizes but thin & small enough for our fish. Amazing quality & quantity for the price. ## Features - TROPICAL FORMULATION: For use as staple food for your top- and mid-feeding tropical fish. - COMPLETE DIET: Nutritionally balanced diet for optimal health, color and vitality. - ACTIVE LIFE FORMULA: With added antioxidants for healthy cells, select proteins for growth and prebiotics for digestion. - CLEANER AND CLEARER WATER FORMULA: Won’t cloud water when used as directed. - LESS WASTE: Feed two to three times daily, only as much as your fish can consume within three minutes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00025K1E8 | | Additional Features | Active Life Formula with antioxidants, select proteins, and prebiotics | | Age Range (Description) | All Life Stages | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Allergen Information | Gelatin Free | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Best Sellers Rank | #541 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #2 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand | Tetra | | Brand Name | Tetra | | Breed Recommendation | Small Breeds | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 20,114 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Tropical Fish | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046798166238, 10046798166235 | | Included Components | TetraMin Nutritionally Balanced Tropical Flake Food for Tropical Fish, 4.52 lbs | | Item Form | Flake | | Item Type Name | Tropical Flake Food | | Item Weight | 4.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | Tetra | | Manufacturer Part Number | AQ-16623-1 | | Model Number | AQ-16623-1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Product Benefits | Supports fish health and well-being | | Recommended Uses For Product | Daily feeding for tropical fish | | Special Ingredients | Prebiotic | | Specific Uses For Product | Active | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 046798166238 | | Unit Count | 72 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Tetra - **Flavor:** Tropical Fish - **Item Form:** Flake - **Specific Uses For Product:** Active ## Images ![TetraMin Tropical Flakes Fish Food, 4.52 lbs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814tKG4slhL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is any one else having issues with this new clean and clear water fish food? The food that isn't eaten blows up into spoiled messes in the water** A: Just like everyone else said, regardless of the food you use you should not overfeed. This is a common issue because many don't know how to feed their fish properly. I often give them a VERY small amount and watch how the consume the food. I then add a bit more once or twice. They do just fine being a bit hungry. Also, I don't feed them more than once per day and I feed in quantities so that very little of the food hits the bottom of the tank. They need to be eager to eat to avoid water pollution. **Q: Can goldfish eat these** A: Yes, they can eat them, although they would not meet their nutritional needs, properly. We would recommend TetraFin, our diet for goldfish. **Q: Will this stay fresh after opening. I did not realize how big the can was. . I'm guessing I'll need to baggie it?** A: We have been purchasing the 4.5 pound container with the snap seal lid for years. We transfer the food to a smaller twist seal Tetramin containers for daily use. We have been doing this for at least 10 year (repurchase the 4.5 pounder every couple of years) and fish still are as excited near the bottom of the big container as for the first from the container. Don't worry about it! **Q: I want to buy 2 containers of 7.06 oz for a small tank for my sister from another country. Can you let me know the expiration date before I buy them** A: The recent 7.06 oz container I recently purchased from Amazon had an expiration date of 08/20. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprising amount of fish food!
