About Us

Since our founding in Germany more than 50 years ago, when we revolutionized fish-keeping with the introduction of flake foods, Tetra has developed the world's most comprehensive body of knowledge on the subject. Today, we are the acknowledged global leader, with offices in the U.S., Europe, Japan and South East Asia. Tetra foods are distributed to more than 70 countries.

Over the years, we have worked in partnership with the nation's leading aquariums and marine parks to research aquatic life and to promote the conservation of natural resources. And each day, Tetra biologists, chemists and nutritionists study over 25,000 fish in more than 900 tanks to discover more about what keeps them thriving through a long, healthy life.

More than 5% of our annual revenue is spent on R&D, dedicated to the improvement of the well-being of water life. Tetra - the heart and mind of water life.

Tetra manufactures hundreds of superior quality products, supported by unique, easy-to-follow systems for feeding and water conditioning that ensure successful aquariums.

We are famous for our complete line of food and nutrition products for water life, plus medical care, equipment and accessories. We take the fish-keeping hobby well beyond the aquarium. Because for us, it's not just a hobby. It's a passion.

Tetra - the high quality German product trusted for more than 50 years.
