Unknown Tetravacation 14-Day Feeder For Tropical First Impressions

"Our pond is approx."

The company and brand of Tetra has been my go to for products for years. They wouldn't go into detail about anything more. They are loving more this product more than flakes. Nice that some float and other sink so all the fish have a chance to feed. When I feed my fish I drop some in as is and crumple up the rest. I actually only buy their food and fish tank kits. Quick delivery in this time of the Pandemic.

Unknown Tetravacation 14-Day Feeder For Tropical Final Thoughts

"The fish like them fine."

Nice that some float and other sink so all the fish have a chance to feed. Don't hesitate, get it before you can't. I bought a house last year and inherited some fish in a pond. This Tetra style food doesn't do either of those things. You can't beat that price anywhere else and trust me I have looked everywhere. Some feed at the surface and some feed toward the bottom of the tanks. It also seems to create less waste than other brands, which keeps my tank cleaner.

Unknown TKN5LB Final Thoughts

"What a difference!"

This might be a pro or a con, depending on the type of fish you have. In particular, they attack the red-colored flakes. They grew quick on flakes, they love them. My 20+ female and male bettas prefer these crisps to other foods. They wouldn't go into detail about anything more. Beta fish response to this product is less intersted as compared to bug bites. I've also now have a number of very plump bottom feeders.

"5 out of 5 stars."

I can only get little one in local stores for alot more money. It keeps the fish healthy and colorful. Doesn't cloudy my tank up, extra dissolves without any problems. My catfish love them, so it isn't a problem for me. I have been feeding him every day for 1 week now and he loves to swim and play now. The flakes are easy to break up in your fingers for small little mouths if needed. This container is a great size for the price.

Aqueon 100106191 Final Thoughts

"Let's see."

Overall, I would recommend this food if someone asked my. For those that own fish you know how expensive it can be. The flakes absorb the moisture in the air, cake up, and clog the feeder. Our fish tell us every morning in sign language how much they like your flakes. My catfish love them, so it isn't a problem for me. Don't hesitate, get it before you can't. There were two kinds of food--one flake and one in stick form.

"This jar is big mind you."

But my Rams tend to be finicky eaters, and they pig out on this stuff. If you have picky fish, the texture and flavor might be a little challenging. I expressed my frustration at the fish store, and they recommended these granules. I mix Tetra crisps with freeze dried Tetra blood worms. I received my order today as promised and the shipping box was sealed and undamaged. I looked carefully inside the small shipping box but did not find the missing lid. Much better price than at the big box pet store.

Omega One 61321 Final Thoughts

"And they love it."

Many betta foods are floating orbs that have a diameter too large for bettas. I STRONGLY recommend you to open the bag IN ONE CORNER with scissors. I've been buying TetraMin fish food as long as I can remember. My Oscar is almost 4 years old and loves it. It feeds my pond and two tanks, happy fish! They come out of their hiding spots almost as soon as it hits the water. My 20+ female and male bettas prefer these crisps to other foods.

"It's friken fish pellets."

I expressed my frustration at the fish store, and they recommended these granules. I have used this brand and fish food since the day I purchased my fish. This might be a pro or a con, depending on the type of fish you have. I like how the packaging can be resealed. They grew quick on flakes, they love them. I can easily crumple it small or to any size for the little mouths. It comes in a large container and I know we will never need fish food again.

"Good stuff."

Best of luck to everyone and stay safe and healthy. I have a number of freshwater aquariums with a wide variety of fish. When I purchased this food, I thought it was the small container. I have been using TetraMin brand for 20 of those years. I've had backyard goldfish ponds over the last 30 years at three different homes. I have been using this stuff for a couple of years without a problem. My 20+ female and male bettas prefer these crisps to other foods.

I went to a different Petco and found the right brand and brought it home. But my Rams tend to be finicky eaters, and they pig out on this stuff. I'd tried various flaked food, bloodworms, brine, and even live baby earthworms. Beta fish response to this product is less intersted as compared to bug bites. The flakes absorb the moisture in the air, cake up, and clog the feeder. When I feed my fish I drop some in as is and crumple up the rest. My neon tetras, mollies, platys, and tiger barbs love this stuff and they devour it.

"Noticeably brighter."

Overall, this is a good product for a good price. Lesson learned, but this will work for now. The waste is extremely minimal to nothing. Betta fins make them slow, so they need something a little sturdier sometimes. Don't pinch the flakes with your hand. Lesson learned, but this will work for now. I have used this brand and fish food since the day I purchased my fish.

Best of luck to everyone and stay safe and healthy. They wouldn't go into detail about anything more. That way, you don't expose the flakes to humidity or spills. Truth is though, my fish prefer this fish food to many others I've tried.
