Tradition
Great tradition
In the 1950s, it was very difficult to keep fish, as hobbyists had to catch live food for their fish from various sources like rivers. To change this, we began to develop a fish food in paste form as early as 1952. But despite the success of our first steps, our inventive and revolutionary passion was limitless. This resulted in the development of the original flake food TetraMin in 1955. The global success of TetraMin lays the foundation for aquatics and fishkeeping at home.
