Tetramin Food

[Trance2006]

Never buy flakes from them, I bought a small can last year witht heir round circle flakes. Everyfish I fed it with died. And the ones that did hang on got better by feeding other brand name food.

I read the ingrediants, mostly corn flour, flour , wheat germ and such

That's really odd. I've been feeding that brand for many years and my fish thrive on it

There must be something else wrong. But if the reaction of your fish (dying) is so severe - I'd most certainly be extremely concerned and take it up with Tetra and see what they have to say.

We feed with it too - - - - - no deaths either!

Not the brand, a perticular food. They had the tropical flakes, but a different variety. It's been pulled off, some color enehancing thing. I lost many fish because of that food. I supplemented the fish with vitamins, shrimp, blookd worms, but mostly that. And some veggies once a week. Very odd since it is a very good brand name

I use tetramin pro and have sworn by it ever since it came out I think Tetra are great and it all seems a little unlikely that their commercial food would murder all of your fish but no one elses.

I work in trade and havent heard anything about this, which would be likely if it was a well known problem.

i use tetramin tropical flakes i thinkk and my grandpa used that and he kept fish for over 60+ years and his fish lived really long and thrived and barely ever got sick

I always thought unless it was specialist food, almost all flakes were made from "fish and fish derivatives". Both of my tetra foods and all other flakes I've come across have? What are the exact ingredients on the label?

 

[Trance2006]

I think it was teramin pro, but back than I had a 74 gallon community. With only 4 fish. I had just made the move from saltwater after a year.
2 mollies and 2 small gouramies

That is very odd, I also use Tetra food, I feed the tropical crisps...they love them.

 

[Trance2006]

That the name, tropic crisps. They are small tiny discs of flakes right?

 

[whip]

Tropic crisps, that sounds like a cerael. Are you sure it's fish food?

 

[Trance2006]

Yes it was fish food, unless petco cells kellogs be sure to tell me LOL

 

[Bloo]

I feed that whole range. Both the pro crisps, vegetable crisps and colour enhance crisps. The flakes and granules too

 

[Trance2006]

I guess the bottle I pcied up was expired aka over a year old, and held no nutritional value?

Hn, I don't actually see an expiration date on my Tetramin bottle...
