TETRA REVEALS QUALITY NUTRITION YOU CAN TRUST
ith so many food options on the
market claiming to benefi t fi sh
it can be diffi cult to know which
brands to trust. That’s why, Tetra,
the experts in fi shkeeping, volunteered to have
its own food tested in comparison with similar
products of reputable competitors to highlight
the quality of its nutrition.
In an analysis performed by an independent
laboratory that tested the amount of protein
and fat actually contained in TetraMin, Tetra
Goldfi sh and two other products of reputable
European competitor brands, the results
revealed that whereas both Tetra products
contained the declared values, some of
the competitors’ values were considerably
different or even far beyond the tolerance limits
prescribed by the EU Animal Feed Regulation.
Alongside these analyses, the same Tetra
products were also tested against the same
competitor food products to compare their
effects on growth and feed conversion.
The results of these food performance tests
were also clear: fi sh fed with TetraMin or
Tetra Goldfi sh showed healthy and above all
consistent growth, whilst the weight gains of
fi sh fed with the rival products either stagnated
or even decreased in some cases.

Tetra’s food also demonstrated a good
feed conversion rate, which shows how
effi ciently food is converted by fi sh. The lower
the quotient, the better the feed conversion
rate. This means that fi sh need to be fed less
to get all of the nutrients they need, which in
turn helps to improve the water quality. The
food performance test clearly demonstrated
that TetraMin has a considerably lower feed
conversion ratio, whereas the values of some of
the rival products deviated by over 100%.
Figure 1: For its in-house food performance
test, Tetra selected four popular species of
tropical fi sh which are illustrative of a large
group of tropical fi sh (as depicted here, Red
Phantom Tetras/ Fig. 1 and Platies/ Fig. 2)
Figure 2: Tetra’s in-house test proved that
fi sh fed with the rival products grew on
average less that 61 percent less than those
fed with TetraMin. This result highlights the
excellent quality of Tetra’s raw ingredients
and formulas.
