Tetra 77248 TetraColor PLUS Tropical Flakes, 7.06-Ounce, 1-Liter

Great value worth the price

Great product

I feed my fish this food everyday and they seem to love it. However, it claims to intensify their color and I don't believe that it does. Plus there is no shaker so you have to use your fingers and we all know what fish food smells like.

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.

My fish love this stuff.
