Quality Nutrition for Cichlids

Tetra has been revolutionizing and improving fish nutrition since the company’s birth in Germany in 1951. Since that time, Tetra has developed one of the most comprehensive bodies of flake fish food knowledge in the world. A full team of biologists, chemists, and nutritionists continually study and discover what keeps fish thriving and living long, healthy lives.

TetraCichlid Crisps

These floating sticks are an excellent alternative to messy live foods for aggressive, carnivorous fish. This food’s formula consists predominately of dried krill and shrimp, and is irresistible for large Cichlids such as Oscars, green terrors, Dempseys, piranhas, and arowanas, as well as marine fish such as lionfish, triggerfish, angel fish, and groupers. Jumbo Sticks contain natural attractants and carotenoids to promote color development in natural pinks and orange-red. Enhanced with vitamin C and the patented, health-enhancing ProCare blend from TetraMin.

Clean, Clear Water

Tetra formulas feature micro milled, exotic, high-protein fish meal as a core ingredient—making them pure and digestible with fewer colorants. This leads to less waste and a cleaner, clearer aquarium.

Pick the TetraMin That's Right for Your Fish

World Class Menu for Every Fish Type

Tetra understands that every fish is unique. For this reason, they have created a full menu of food to help meet the needs of every fish; from bottom feeders to top-feeders and small Bettas to Large Cichlids.

Flakes: Flakes make up the most popular type of fish food. Tetra flakes are formulated to keep water clean and clear and include ProCare for added health benefits.

Crisps: Tetra crisps float longer and create less waste. Crisps are ideal for small and medium-sized fish.

Granules: Bite-sized morsels sink slowly to reach all fish in your aquarium, including mid-water feeders.

Tablets: Tablets are complete, balanced nutrition that sink quickly for all bottom-feeding fish such as catfish and loaches.

Algae Wafers: Large, sinking wafers are perfect for veggie loving bottom feeders like piecostomus catfish.

Sticks: Complete and balanced sticks provide hearty nutrition to larger fish such as Oscars, Cichlids, and marine fish.

Pellets: This floating food is ideal for mid to large sized fish like Cichlids and Goldfish. Tiny pellets are available for Bettas.

Gel Foods: Innovative Grazing Blocks are great for long periods away from home. Gel Foods strive to feed fish the way they would eat in nature.

Supplements/Treats: Great in conjunction with Tetra’s Primary diets, these foods provide healthy variety for fish.

Great fish food, but No Returns - Even if damaged
The food is great and have been feeding my fish this for years! However, get it from you local store. Amazon will stick it in a bag, step on it, then ship you the busted container. No returns for this product! To be fair I have gotten this more then 50x from Amazon and this is the 1st one they sent broken. Still no returns for a busted product?
Thank you for your feedback
