Tetra TetraMarine Saltwater Flakes
When Dr. Ulrich Baensch created the first tropical fish food – called Tetramin – in 1958 he did not know that this one small innovation would spawn the massive aquarium hobby we have today. How many of us would keep fish if we have to catch live bugs under rocks and shorelines? Tetra continued to advance the hobby with Tetracolor, perhaps the finest community flake food. Flake food is ideal for community tanks as it floats and spreads about the fish tank allowing a chance for aggressive and shy tank mates to grab some grub.
TetraMarine Saltwater Flakes is an ideal community food for saltwater aquariums. The formulation is balanced so that just about everything in the fish tank will get something from these high quality flakes.

My saltwater tank has been thriving since I started using TetraMarine Saltwater Flakes. The flakes float well and distribute evenly, so both shy and active fish get to eat. My clownfish and tangs seem more vibrant and active. No fish have shown signs of aggression over feeding.

I’ve tried several saltwater flake brands, and these are the most consistent. The fish in my tank eat them readily and the water looks cleaner after feeding. A little more protein than I expected, but it’s balanced enough for a mixed community.

Great for a beginner saltwater setup. The flakes are easy to measure and dissolve well. My damselfish and gobies are always happy after feeding. No fish have refused the food, even the shy ones.
