This is a really excellent tablet food and is an improvement on- or at least different enough- from other popular tablet foods (Hikari Sinking & Algae wafers; Wardley's shrimp pellet; etc) to warrant a spot in any aquarium aficionado's collection of prepared foods.
What makes Tetra's tablet unique from the aforementioned products is that, firstly, it has a very different ingredient list, with the primary ingredient being skim milk. Secondly, it has a higher protein content than most other tablets (43% min). And thirdly it doesn't hold together as tightly as all the other bottom feeder foods I have tried. So yes, it is messier than Hikari foods, but the advantage is that it allows sub-dominant fish to access the broken off bits of food without overfeeding.
The Tetra Tablet also isn't just a bottom feeder food; if you crush it with your fingers (it crushes easily) it's a great fry food as well.
Having milk as the primary ingredient will help to diversify the protein sources within your fishes' regular feeding. Some may balk at giving fish cow's milk, but my most reliable reference book notes the author's preference for milk-based foods over fish meal based foods. It also contains a lot of spirulina!
The primary ingredients are: Dried skim milk, fish meal, dried yeast, ground brown rice, potato protein, spirulina, and shrimp meal.
Nutritional analysis: Protein 43%; Fat 5%; Fiber 1.5%; Moisture 8%; Phosphorous 0.9%; Vitamin C 363 mg/kg.
The fish seem to love it.
The tablets are also easy to use, as they can be fed directly or crushed into smaller pieces for smaller fish or fry. Additionally, the packaging is designed to keep the tablets fresh and easy to dispense, with a convenient resealable cap that keeps the food fresh between feedings.
Overall, Tetra TetraMin Tropical Tablets are an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality and balanced fish food for their tropical fish. They are made from premium ingredients, easy to use, and provide all the necessary nutrients to maintain healthy and thriving fish. Highly recommended!
One downfall is that they don't make the 10.93 ounce size anymore which is why I gave 4 stars.
Highly recommended!
