THE ONLY FOOD I BUY AND BRAND I BUY FROM!
5 Stars
THE ONLY FOOD I BUY AND BRAND I BUY FROM!
The food itself is worth the price, especially the nutritional benefits, my fish seem to only eat this product, but my past fish love it. It’s super fresh, and the tight seal on the lid makes its longevity stretch. The food is very nutritious and fish food isn’t just fish food. Do your homework. The company and brand of Tetra has been my go to for products for years. I actually only buy their food and fish tank kits. I always buy 2 when I’m low.I could review this product all day but the most important thing to know is, open carefully as they give you more than your money’s worth with the food. Meaning it’s overfilled for the better! a little goes a long long way. Their food is designed to float but then sink for top, middle and bottom dwelling fish. I have a bottom to medium dweller ( Scarlet Badis or Dario Dario ) and my red tiger koi Betta. I never feed my Betta anything else only tetra flakes, especially for his color and health. Ever since feeding this product, my betas colors have actually enhance far more than expected. The waste is extremely minimal to nothing. The water doesn’t get greasy or “polluted” if you feed light to accidentally over feeding. Which we all have done..Negative reviews confuse me as I myself have never had a negative experience with the tetra brand nor their food/products. I guess to give some grey area for the food or “product” would be the smell, which is a little nasty and pungent. However that’s fish food for you!I recommend this product for picky eaters as well as the ingredients hit all fish needs.10/10 for tetramin!
