Questions & Answers

4 Customer Questions

How is the food packaged inside this box? Is it in 1 big bag or multiple smaller bags?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 20, 2020
In the 11 pound box, this fish food is in one large bag.

Our fish like some food pellets to sink. Does this float, sink or a mixure?

Answer by Chewy • Oct 05, 2019
These floating food sticks are lightweight and float longer so you can enjoy watching your fish feed on the water's surface.

Shelf life

Answer by Chewy • Jul 31, 2019
This product has a shelf life of 3 years, when stored properly. Keep in a cool, dry place and protect it from bugs.

Can I feed my koi this food in summer?

Answer by Chewy • May 31, 2021
This food should be fed in spring, when water temperatures are warm. When water temperature is below 50 degrees pond fish should only be fed TetraPond Spring and Fall diet. Fish should not be fed when the temperature is below 39 degrees.

Not The Same (After Purchasing For Year's)

Tetra has changed its original Pond Sticks ingredients and the way it is produced (And Not For The Better) It now is more like puffed rice (Like Rice Crispies )

Tetra has changed its original Pond Sticks ingredients and the way it is produced (And Not For The Better) It now is more like puffed rice (Like Rice Crispies ) it is extremely dusty through out the entire package. The price is insane, and they have priced themselves against premium Koi Food which this stuff certainly isn't! Also the Koi won't eat the NEW VERSION! I've synced purchased Nutrena Koi fish food which is way cheaper compared to the Tetra 11 pound box I used to get (plus the Koi enjoy it)!!! I'm sure I will not be the only person switching brands! My Koi and my wallet are happy!!!

Not the same product as previously ordered.

The look of the fish food changed but most importantly the fish let it sit floating in the pond! I ordered a larger quantity this time but regret it!

They float instead of going straight to the bottom

We have a pond in our backyard. This food floats so it doesn’t mess up the pond. Plus it’s fun to see the fish coming to the top to feed.

The outrageous price increase

March 29 I paid $57.01 and on this order it was $92.46. That is quite the increase in a short period of time. This is a reoccurring shipment and I didn’t realize

March 29 I paid $57.01 and on this order it was $92.46. That is quite the increase in a short period of time. This is a reoccurring shipment and I didn’t realize the price until it was delivered. It would’ve been nice to have been given a heads up on how much the product increased in price.

The fish food is different now. It is now "puffed" like rice krispies, whereas before it was more solid. And my fish don't seem to like it as much! Why has Tetra changed this? Less fish food for the same amount of money? Not happy. I've been a faithful Tetra customer for years.

Price went up 30 bucks quality went down 100%

They changed the food with no warning. I have been feeding to my fish for 3 years now they won't touch it. Why would you change the way it's made and then raise

They changed the food with no warning. I have been feeding to my fish for 3 years now they won't touch it. Why would you change the way it's made and then raise price 30 bucks. The food is like air the food swells up and gets soft and like mush. Horrible time to find a new supplier.

Tried to cancel. Wasn’t able.

Got a bunch of fish food I don’t need because the raccoons ate all my fish.

Not happy with the new formula. supposed to be more natural.

My fish won't eat it! I wish I had some left from the old bag to mix with it, my fish have not eaten for about a week I don't now what I am going to do. I called

My fish won't eat it! I wish I had some left from the old bag to mix with it, my fish have not eaten for about a week I don't now what I am going to do. I called Tetra customer service and they said I should have mixed with the old food, but I did not know that they changed it. They were no help.
