Background to TMC Tropical Marine Centre (TMC) has been Europe’s leading supplier of quality marine fish and invertebrates to the ornamental trade since 1970, importing more than 1200 of livestock from 26 countries around the world.

TMC supplies over 1500 retail stores in the UK and Europe with livestock and aquatic products and has a well established distribution network in mainland Europe with at least two distributors in each of the major European countries.

Tropical Marine Centre's objective has remained unchanged since the company was established in 1970 - to be the leading wholesaler of marine livestock to the trade with livestock ethically sourced, handled and imported and investment made in a sustainable trade.

Optimum Health From the moment TMC livestock is collected, with all fish being individually net caught, everything possible is done to ensure the optimum health and welfare of the livestock and to minimise stress.

Whilst in TMC's fish holding facilities all livestock is fed only on Gamma Foods and every day we feed over 250,000 fish and inverts across our four fish houses!

TMC staff ensure feeding takes place as many times as possible during the day (up to 6 times), to try to replicate the constant grazing many marine fish are used to when on the reef, thereby minimising stress for the livestock. A variety of Gamma Foods are used - frozen, dry and liquid - and we regularly try different formulations to constantly improve feeding success. We understand different species’ needs extremely well and also understand that variety, attractiveness and frequency is key to getting the best health and vibrancy out of our livestock. This strict feeding regime, using only the highest quality feeds, means fish will be eating well and will be in optimum health before reaching your aquarium.

Expertise TMC’s team of livestock experts and marine biologists have a huge wealth of knowledge in commercial aquaculture feed design. This led TMC, in the early 1990s, to develop its own formulations of nutritionally complete dry feeds for our hatchery, where we were rearing up to 150,000 clownfish of different varieties to a saleable size each year.

These specially formulated diets allowed us to achieve many breeding successes - at the end of 1997, the TMC hatchery became the first centre in the world to successfully breed significant numbers of Fire Shrimps (Lysmata debelius) and in 1999 we had the same success with Pipefishes (Doryhamphus multiannulatus), with a significant number of juveniles being raised to maturity.

Comprehensive Range of New Foods This background in aquaculture and feed manufacture, together with our expertise in feeding the many fish, corals and other invertebrates we import each year, led us to develop our own range of foods, starting with Gamma Frozen Foods, then Gamma Dry Seaweed both of which are market leaders. We then launched our original Gamma Nutraplus Complete and Reef Feeds but unfortunately we had to cease production of this very popular range due to difficulties with raw materials supply.

Knowing that our livestock and fish houses, as well as home aquarists, could benefit from the convenience of a full range of frozen, liquid and dry feeds, we carried out a great deal of research and development to come up with a new, improved range of liquid feeds plus a whole new dry feeds concept, all set out in this brochure.

General Feeding Recommendations • Always supply a varied diet of dry, frozen and liquid feeds for optimal health. • Research your to find out which foods will work best for them - speak to your local fish shop if unsure. • Always feed as much as your fish will consume in 10 mins and repeat throughout the day. • Always remove uneaten food with a small net.
