Tetra TetraColor PLUS Tropical Fish Flakes, 7.06-Ounce

I’ve used this product for years. I was Iill and couldn’t swing by the store so I ordered it. It was actually less expensive than what I pay in the store. I don’t know if it enhances the color but all my fish are bright, colorful and happy. I have 4 very large angle fish that really need cichlid food. I have over 50 platy’s and 4 gouramis that get there nourishment from these flakes. I have a 55 gallon tank with an outside filter. The angels do eat it but they also feast on the platy’s fry. They platy’s reproduce so quickly and in multiples. They are livebearers and before you know it you can have a tankful. ( like a hundred) I got the angel fish for this reason. They have controlled the reproduction. These flakes can be messy. I do have to do filter changes more often because of the overcrowding and the flaked food. You can tell the product does contain a red dye because my filter pads turn red. You can’t feed too much at one time or you will have to do more frequent water changes. Tetra does make a crunchier flake that doesn’t sink as fast and the fish have more time to eat. What I really need are some bottom feeders. My tank is a 55 gallon. If you have a smaller tank with just a few fish I would recommend an automatic feeder. You can purchase timer that puts out small amounts at various times. I have way too many platy’s. I used to sell or give them to a fish store but they closed. Most fish stores won’t take your fish because of diseases they may carry. I just have to wait till the cycle repeats and eventually is in control.

Great food as always! I used NLS, Azoo & Hikari mainly, but wanted to try this one again with the "new formula" got a freshwater 5g tank and fish and bottom feeders like it a lot, it does not sink fast and like with all the fish food, it smells and be reasonable with quantity for your tank. Nutrition seems like most foods, I'll not consider this one a high end product, it brings out the color fine, and if that's what you want or want to start on getting a better quality food product, this one is a nice one to begin.

Huge value for the money and the fish LOVE it.

Fish love this food.

Arrived in good condition, good value
