about tropical fish
Can my guppies eat regular tropical fish food?

I keep my guppies in a tropical tank with danios and tetras. I feed them TetraMin Tropical Fish Flakes. Will the guppies be ok? If not, then how do I go about feeding them without the others hogging their food? They already eat what I give them but is it good for them?

Yes, your guppies will be okay eating TetraMin flakes. In fact, it is a very good staple food for them. Just crush the flakes into tiny bits and spread them out on the surface of your tank so all your fish can get their share. Supplement this with an occasional feeding of live foods.

TetraMin is Tetra brand’s staple food (basic diet for all tropical fish) and is not made specifically for feeding to tetras or characins only. The name is compounded from two words, “tetra” is the Greek word for “four”. It stands for TetraMin’s original recipe of four types of flakes. “Min” comes from vitamin which in Latin means “a substance necessary for life.”

 A Little Girl In Old Detroit


A Little Girl In Old Detroit


$16.81


“When La Motte Cadillac first sailed up the Strait of Detroit he kept his impressions for after travelers and historians, by transcribing them in his journal. It was not only the romantic side, but the usefulness of the position that appealed to him, commanding the trade from Canada to the Lakes, “and a door by which we can go in and out to trade with all our allies. ” The magnificent scenery charmed the intrepid explorer. The living crystal waters of the lakes, the shores green with almost tropical profusion, the natural orchards bending their branches with fruit, albeit in a wild state, the bloom, the riotous, clinging vines trailing about, the great forests dense and dark with kingly trees where birds broke the silence with songs and chatter, and game of all kinds found a home; the rivers, sparkling with fish and thronged with swans and wild fowl, and blooms of a thousand kinds, made marvelous pictures. The Indian had roamed undisturbed, and built his temporary wigwam in some opening, and on moving away left the place again to solitude. ”
