34 YEARS WITH THIS PRODUCT June 18, 2005
Monica Snow (Massachusetts)
Originally, in the early 1970s, Tetra "Tabimin" was advertized for terrapins (aquatic turtles). Over the years, however, I discovered that this tablet food changed its name and was offered for bottom-feeding fish only.
I compared ingredient percentages and discovered that nothing had changed. So my three-pound terrapin, whom I've had since 1971, is still around to attest to the viability of this food for terrapins! (And, yes, he was just a tiny little guy when I adopted him. It took several years before I could even tell "he" was a he!)
Tetramin Tablets are the only food source for "Godzilla". I gave up feeding him live goldfish (hence the name!) and meat, because this type of feeding really fouled his tank. (It was also gross to observe.) Additionally, he showed little interest in lettuce or any other greens.
So at the ripe old age of 34, Godzilla lives in a 50 gallon tank, with a platform on which to sun himself. I keep about 35 gallons of water in the tank, since it appears he really likes to swim a lot. He eats his tablets, twice weekly, at the bottom of the tank.
In short, even an exotic-animal veterinarian specialist in Boston was amazed with Godzilla's food protocol. "If it's worked this well for so many years, who am I to suggest anything different?"
Just thought someone out there might be interested.
