Great Value
We used to buy the smaller packs for our 55gal aquarium, but this looked like a much better deal. The fish havenât complained and still gobble up every flake they find, so I guess that means the stuff is good. Iâll give it 5 stars on their behalf.

Fish seem to love them!
My fish seem to enjoy these flakes and I’ve been feeding them different varieties of Tetra products over the years. These are great for top feeders because they stay afloat for a relatively long time and do not disintegrate too fast. The downside to it is that it could get sucked into my filter when my fish do not eat them fast enough and so scatters them about. It’s seems to be true that these tropical flakes provide a nice color-enhancing diet for my fish which are vibrant yellows and oranges. The flakes also do not cloud my tank so I’m very please with them overall. I think the price is very fair for 2.2 oz (62g) and this size lasts me several months. Many people just pour a tablespoon full or so into the tank and walk away which I think is wasteful because the fish won’t not eat fast enough. This will only cause the flakes to drop to the bottom and get sucked into the filter. I drop enough for my fish to eat and once I see a little left at the surface, I drop a little more during the two minute timeframe. This is usually enough time for them to eat their fill. Sure, it takes a little more effort but it helps to keep my tank clean and my filter less clogged as well. Overall, I like this tropical flake and I think my fish do as well so I would recommend it. I only wish it came with a cap which slides open in the middle for easy pouring, but I’d still give it a 4.9/5.0 – 10/09/2014

Fish love it
I have zebras, cat fish, daimons and some other fish (including several snails) and they gobble this food up. Some flakes are large and you can easily crunch them with your fingers into smaller sizes if want. In terms of nutrition, the fish are healthy and live long. So, whatever is in them is definitely nutritious! It does have a bit of a fishy/aquatic smell to them, but hey, it’s fish food! Would definitely recommend this.

TetraColor Tropical Flakes
Who can argue that TetraMin/TetraColor tropical flakes are considered among the best fish food available in the marketplace. The price seemed like a great deal for this large of a can so I went ahead and ordered it. After all, who wouldn’t want the best food available for their fish?Everything came exactly as ordred. Since I am still using the existing can, I haven’t had occasion to open this new can. But when I do, I am sure that it will live up to my expectations as being of high quality and something that the fish will enjoy eating.I definitely would consider purchasing this food again in the future when I will need it. But I don’t expect this to be for a long time to come.

I was surprised how much food comes with this purchase and the fish love it! And they are looking a lot shinier, it took me by surprise. Another bonus is the water is looking a lot cleaner. I used to have to clean the aquarium every week now I can stretch it out to two weeks and my fish are not dying. I’m glad I found this product.
