Reef Nutrition Unveils Game Changer at Reef A Palooza 2025: TDO and more Coming to Freshwater

During this year’s Reef A Palooza 2025, Reef Nutrtion made huge waves. 

Reef Nutrition, long revered in the saltwater world for its scientifically formulated nutrient rich foods, has officially launched TDO Chroma BOOST for freshwater species. Marking an exciting expansion into a whole new aquatic frontier. The announcement is an exciting especially for aquarists who have been waiting for high performance nutrition that meets the needs of freshwater fish, invertebrates and shrimp with the same precision as their reef dwelling cousins. For me, who's been there since the inception of this pelletized food and helped market this amazing food over the years, it was especially exciting! 

Why TDO is a Big Deal for Freshwater

Otohime pellets, already a trusted by marine biologists, coral farms, public aquariums and serious reefers for years, was perfected by Reef Nutrition by Top Dressing the Otohime pellets with astaxanthin which works as a great color enhancer as well as being a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties within. TDO pellets have built a reputation as a super pellet that does it all. It supports immune health, boosts coloration and delivers clean, bioavailable nutrition with minimal waste. Now freshwater enthusiasts can experience the same game changing formula.

Packed with high quality proteins, essential fatty acids like HUFAs, PUFAs and enhanced with Haematococcus algae (a natural source of astaxanthin for vibrant reds and oranges), TDO Chroma BOOST isn’t just a food. It’s a performance enhancer.

Whether you're caring for fancy guppies, discus, shrimps or prized bettas, these pellets promise the same color enhancing and growth supporting results that saltwater keepers have long relied on. The stable formula resists clouding and works seamlessly with automatic feeders. (I recommend putting just 1 week of worth of food in there) 

What Makes TDO Different

• Cold processed to preserve nutrients
• Slow sinking for different water column feeders
• Precision sized options for fry to adult fish
• Backed by aquaculture science with proven results

It’s not just nutrition. It’s technology refined for optimal bioavailability.

More Freshwater Offerings on the Horizon

As someone deeply passionate about our hobby and many products and people in the hobby, I couldn’t be more thrilled and proud to see Reef Nutrition bringing their refrigerated food line to the freshwater side to make their mark. Imagining products that has revolutionized reef feeding, and the idea of applying that same level of quality and freshness to freshwater habitats really makes me happy and proud of all their accomplishments. 

Reef Nutrition is raising the bar for the freshwater side and I hope they keep the name Reef Nutrition in their labels so that we can feel bit snobby against our freshwater counterparts.
