Zoo Med AFS4 First Impressions
"I am not a fish."I have been using this product for decades, and it is loved by all my fish. The waste is extremely minimal to nothing. You can't go wrong with Tetra food products. Inevitably I ran out of the flakes and went to purchase the same product. However when I opened the box one of the containers did not have a lid. The Goldfish Flake is their favorite snack in the morning and evening. It keeps the fish healthy and colorful.

Zoo Med AFS4 Final Thoughts
"Let's see."I received my order today as promised and the shipping box was sealed and undamaged. I STRONGLY recommend you to open the bag IN ONE CORNER with scissors. It also seems to create less waste than other brands, which keeps my tank cleaner. I also keep the pond heater at 73 to 74 degrees all winter. This might be a pro or a con, depending on the type of fish you have. Overall, this is a good product for a good price. It comes in a large container and I know we will never need fish food again.

"Surprise, surprise."I have been feeding him every day for 1 week now and he loves to swim and play now. 06 oz size, which is very economical, and then transfer them to my smaller 2. You can't go wrong with Tetra food products. I received my order today as promised and the shipping box was sealed and undamaged. My fish liked it from the start, and TetraFin has kept improving it over the years. My fry grow out quickly with vibrant colours. We've tried most of the brands too.

Zoo Med 85026020 First Impressions
"Nice blend."Who would've thought 7 ounces of fish food is so much. I mix Tetra crisps with freeze dried Tetra blood worms. Many betta foods are floating orbs that have a diameter too large for bettas. I have been using TetraMin brand for 20 of those years. This is the super value tub and all my water creatures eat every bit I put in. I found this TetraMin Tropical Flakes item that met all of my needs. Our fish tell us every morning in sign language how much they like your flakes.

"Value for money."My larger fish eat it just as readily as the smaller fish. If you have picky fish, the texture and flavor might be a little challenging. Best of luck to everyone and stay safe and healthy. I also keep the pond heater at 73 to 74 degrees all winter. You can't beat that price anywhere else and trust me I have looked everywhere. Much better price than at the big box pet store. The fish seem to not care about the switch either way.

"The fish like them fine."I had tried flake food in an automatic feeder which was a total disaster. This food seems to do better for the outside fish. My Oscar is almost 4 years old and loves it. Inevitably I ran out of the flakes and went to purchase the same product. Many betta foods are floating orbs that have a diameter too large for bettas. Also, these seem to grow waterlogged and sink faster than the TetraMin Pro. I bought a house last year and inherited some fish in a pond.

I STRONGLY recommend you to open the bag IN ONE CORNER with scissors. I'm currently feeding Mollies, Platys, Neons, Swordtails and Dwarf gouramis.

"You should buy this."This might be a pro or a con, depending on the type of fish you have. I have tried to transition them to pellets but they love the flakes and ignore them. Our giant plecos absolutely love this stuff! They are loving more this product more than flakes. For those that own fish you know how expensive it can be.

Zoo Med Final Thoughts
"Point taken."They wouldn't go into detail about anything more. If you have picky fish, the texture and flavor might be a little challenging. I have a sorority of 7 bettas, and they love this food. The flakes are consistently mostly big, so it's not a big bucket of duff at all. Betta fins make them slow, so they need something a little sturdier sometimes. The flakes are consistently mostly big, so it's not a big bucket of duff at all. The Petco store was out of that brand.

"He LOVES them."I have been using this stuff for a couple of years without a problem. The food is very nutritious and fish food isn't just fish food. I looked carefully inside the small shipping box but did not find the missing lid. I have about 11 fishes 6 different types and all fresh water fishes. This bucket of flakes allow me to feed these guys for 18 months. I've had backyard goldfish ponds over the last 30 years at three different homes. This Tetra style food doesn't do either of those things.

"It seems to do just fine."That way, you don't expose the flakes to humidity or spills. Overall a great deal, for great fish food. The Petco store was out of that brand.

"Our tank is pretty clean."I'd tried various flaked food, bloodworms, brine, and even live baby earthworms. I had tried flake food in an automatic feeder which was a total disaster. Lesson learned, but this will work for now. Kind of seems like junk food but the fish all love it. It's a peaceful scene those pretty fish enjoying their snack. The fish seem to not care about the switch either way. They come out of their hiding spots almost as soon as it hits the water.
