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: Economical, use sparingly - Simple, inexpensive food. My fish don’t prefer it so it tends to rest on the plants, therefore I use sparingly. Great in a pinch, but to avoid needing to clean the tank prematurely, literally only use a pinch! ## Features - TROPICAL FORMULATION: Highly digestible ingredients for use as staple food for your top- and mid-feeding tropical fish. - COMPLETE DIET: Nutritionally balanced for optimal health. - ACTIVE LIFE FORMULA: With added antioxidants for healthy cells, select proteins for growth and prebiotics for digestion. - CLEAR-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 | B001F95WUI | | Additional Features | ProCare blend, Active Life Formula, Clean and Clear Water Formula | | Age Range (Description) | All Life Stages | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Allergen Information | Fish may contain | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Best Sellers Rank | #525 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #1 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand | Tetra | | Brand Name | Tetra | | Breed Recommendation | All Breed Sizes | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 19,794 Reviews | | Flavor | Fish | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046798771012 | | Item Form | Flake | | Item Type Name | Tropical Flake Food | | Item Weight | 12 Grams | | Manufacturer | Tetra | | Manufacturer Part Number | AQ-77101 | | Model Number | AQ-77101 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Package Size Name | 0.42 Oz Jar | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Benefits | Nutritionally balanced for optimal fish health, reduces aquarium waste | | Recommended Uses For Product | Feeding tropical fish during meals, Promoting digestive health | | Special Ingredients | Prebiotic | | Specific Uses For Product | Digestive Health | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 046798771012 | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Tetra - **Flavor:** Fish - **Item Form:** Flake - **Specific Uses For Product:** Digestive Health ## Images ![TetraMin Tropical Flakes Fish Food, 0.42 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719B972bgYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this for fresh water fish?** A: Yes - it is for freshwater tropical fish (but I feed it to my pond goldfish as well). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprising amount of fish food!
