    We purchased a tetra product some time ago. Don't have the packaging anymore. It was a light brown/khaki box with packs of algae - small foil packed tear off packets. Best way to describe it, it looks like wasabi. My LFS doesn't stock it anymore and they can't remember what it's called. Checked on the tetra site and can't find it either. Anyone have any clue?
    oh btw happy we year to all of you. May it all go swimmingly well :)

    What do I feed with it? As in meal accompaniment or which fish?
    Either way it's more of a treat, all my fish love it. Originally was for my 2 plecos, Ciry and rainbow shark but it doesn't get near the bottom with the barbs, dollars and tetras feeding frenzy

    You probably got it form petstop circa 2010 stock.

    Thanks guys that's the one. I'm sure we got a pack in 2014. Any idea why they stopped making it? My kids love that stuff

    Yeah - a bit weird ... not much information about it - did find it on an archived copy of tertra.net but other than that seems like it got some media coverage in 2012



    Archive link

    Hmm some patents have lapsed see Error 401 (Unauthorized)!!1 ... but this is used in other products also, like the teramin.

    Not sure if you got yours already - but it seems like new stock is available.

    @f-fish you're a star, thanks I'll keep an eye out. Didn't opt for online purchase with the post office in disarray.
    Will maybe try my local again, see if they can order for me or I'll take a drive to cresta. Tx.
