Tetra products include a wide range of high quality fish and reptile food, water care products, aquarium equipment and other aquaria.
More than half a century ago, a young naturalist, doctor of natural sciences Ulrich Bansch made a breakthrough in a difficult and not common hobby at that time - aquarism. In the 1950s, Bansch bred in Hannover decorative tropical fish. At that time there were hardly more than 50,000 aquarists in Germany. The reason for this was the great difficulty in finding live food. So Bansh had the idea to develop a ready-made fish food. Born in the early 1950s TetraMin. It was made up of 4 different types of vitamin-fortified cereal that gave the product its name: Tetra (Greek: four) and Min, the last three letters in the word vitamin.
The emergence of TetraMina on the market has changed the aquarium trade. A hobby that was only accessible to a few, with the help of TetraMin, has turned into a passion that is admired by more than 3 million people in Germany alone. TetraMin in a yellow jar with a brown lid turned into a well-known brand in the market, which could soon be found near the aquarium in almost every country in the world.
With this revolutionary development of dry food for tropical fish, Dr. Ulrich Baensch also laid the foundation for foundation for a world-class enterprise. Shortly after its founding, the company began to develop into an international market leader, with subsidiaries all over the world.
TETRA is one of the brands of Spectrum Brands, Inc, which was created as the successor to Rayovac Corporation.
