Pond Food
What you feed your fish matters for their health and wellbeing. It also affects their environment. Tetra’s Pond Food reduces the waste excreted by fish, whilst prioritising fish vitality. This means it’s easier to maintain excellent water quality and clarity.
Our new pond formulas with natural ingredients promote healthier fish growth and clearer water thanks to a new highly optimised protein-mix and the omission of food colourants.
The new protein-mix and the included HUFA-Booster (highly unsaturated fatty acids) deliver fish the right amount of proteins in combination with fats to promote healthy growth. Additionally, the perfect balance of vitamins, fatty acids and immune stimulation support a strong immune system.
Studies have proven that pond fish showed the healthy growth that you know from Tetra when fed with the new food formulas of the Tetra Pond food range. Compared to other diets fish growth was even better (up to +25%) in fish fed with the new Tetra Pond food!*

Pond Care
Good quality water is vital for healthy fish but there is no way to visibly check this until it has become a problem. Regular water testing is key, as it will highlight any underlying problems so you can take action.
You can easily test your water quality with our Tetra 6in1 Pond Test Strips. They test the six most important water values, including general and carbonate hardness, nitrite, nitrate, pH value, and chlorine.
Suffering constant water value fluctuations?
Regular dosing of TetraPond Water Stabiliser stabilises important water values, meaning fewer water changes. If any of your water values are not ideal a partial water change almost always helps.
Remember to always keep your tap water safe with treatments of AquaSafe.
Tetra App
Don’t forget to use our free Tetra Digital app!
The app quickly analyses water test results before providing next step tips. For instance, if your test strips identify excess chlorine, the app will recommend treatment with Pond AquaSafe. This will neutralise harmful substances, like chlorine, and chemicals in your water.
Pond Treatments
At Tetra, we like to offer solutions for every pond owner’s need. Ponds are susceptive to their environment. As pond owners you can feel like it’s a constant summer battle against algae blooms.
The best way to reduce algae is with prevention. Water tests will highlight which pond treatment is necessary.
Reduce high phosphate with Tetra Pond PhosphateMinus to optimises water quality and reduces algae growth. Whilst NitrateMinus can reduce frustrating nitrate.
Sometimes we need a quick fix for our ponds. Tackle troublesome algae growth with a treatment of AlgoFin. This not only treats stubborn blanketweed but helps to prevent further algae growth.
Tetra’s pond treatments also include our MediFinRange. These products help to effectively treat most common fish diseases and illnesses*. Keeping your fish happy and healthy.
*Please note that if your fish has any signs of disease or illness we highly recommend seeking advice from a vet who specialises in aquatics.
