However, taking a break away sometimes presents a few logistical problems for fishkeepers who may struggle to know what’s best for their fish when leaving their aquarium and pond unattended. How can they ensure their fish have easy and reliable access to a balanced diet with the right level of vitamins and nourishment? To help give fishkeepers peace of mind when on holiday, Tetra, the expert in fishkeeping, has expanded its popular Holiday range, with a new ‘Menu’ format for tropical fish, offering protein-rich pellets and tasty krill to all ornamental fish for an even more diverse diet during holiday periods. The gel food block with BioActive formula also contains daphnia together with the essential vitamins, trace elements and www.petgazette.biz minerals that fish need to stay healthy. Tetra’s Holiday Menu is also 100% edible, providing fish with a balanced diet for up to two weeks without clouding or contaminating waters, unlike many other holiday foods that are sold as calcium blocks. Tetra’s new Holiday Menu also features new and improved packaging with clearer descriptions, appealing visuals and simple icons to highlight key features and a summary of benefits. Tetra Holiday Menu will be available from late June with an RRP of £4.50/30g. For more information about Tetra, visit www. tetra-fish.co.uk or join in the conversation with Tetra UK on Facebook. TOP TIP FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS: ALWAYS ACCLIMATISE YOUR FISH Holiday foods are special feed varieties comprising of gel-based food blocks which are added to tanks. These reasonably large blocks last several days or weeks, ensuring that fish have a constant and reliable food supply while their owner is away. A word of caution though: fussy fish may not take to this food immediately. Your customers should therefore ideally acclimatise your pets to it before going away and always read the label. June 2019
