Pioneers

We are the

PIONEERS AND INNOVATORS
OF MODERN AQUATICS

From the start in 1951 we had only one goal: to make fish-keeping easy and convenient so everyone could enjoy it. We began to develop a fish food in paste form filled in a tube: BioMIn.

Despite the success of our first product, our inventive passion was limitless. In 1955, we launched the first industrial product flake food TetraMin and revolutionized fish-keeping.

The Tetra Water flea:
Our quality badge

Before the inventionof TetraMin, the main diet of aquarium fish consisted of live foods like water fleas that had to be caught.

In 1954 , we have registered the Water flea as the trademark for our brand. It has become our quality badge, pledging and guaranteeing that every product is scientific proven, highly innovative and of high quality.

Heritage

LET’S SWIM BACK FOR A MOMENT

We proudly look back on our rich history of accomplishments, proving that tradition and innovation are not opposites, but a perfect match.

1951

Tetra was founded by Dr. Ulrich Baensch in 1951: A young scientist with a great passion for breeding and keeping tropical fish. It was ultimately this passion that turned an idea into the global leader in aquatics.
