Tetra Publishing House
The Tetra Verlag GmbH is a German publishing house based in Velten (north of Berlin). The program focus is on non-fiction and advisory literature on the subjects and hobby areas of aquaristics (fresh and marine water), terraristics (amphibians and reptiles), pond and pond inhabitants as well as magazines and calendars.
history
The beginnings of publishing go back to the 1960s. The first publications were created under the pen of Ulrich Baensch , the founder of Tetra GmbH , and Hans Frey.
At that time, the pioneer of the TI magazine , today 's specialist aquarium magazine , was called Wasserflohpost . In the following years the publishing house grew with its print products. More than 100 books in 12 languages were produced under the patronage of Tetra, and TI magazine has since been published under several licenses. In addition, calendars were produced in large numbers.
Since December 1997 Tetra Verlag GmbH has embarked on a new development. It is a GmbH managed by Hans-Joachim Herrmann , acting independently of the former owner, which has taken over all book titles, calendars and the specialist aquarium magazine with all rights.

With the takeover of the magazine Aquarium heute (then Aquadocumenta Verlag / Dupla Aquaristik ) in 2001, the specialist aquarium magazine advanced to become the largest-page AquaTerra journal in German-speaking countries with 128 pages per issue. More than 200 issues have been published since 1968. With its 42nd year, the magazine is one of the oldest vivaristic magazines in Germany. The topics include communication, trends and innovations, lifestyle and vivaristics, travel, first introductions of fish and reptiles and specialist know-how as well as reports from all hobby areas.
In 2008, two episodes of the TV show Aquaristik-Fachmagazin (subtitle: Die Sendung zur Zeitschrift ) were broadcast on the private channel Tier-TV. Both programs were moderated by Hans-Joachim Herrmann.
Tetra Verlag GmbH has been operating in Velten (north of Berlin) since January 2003.
The book program currently includes around 50 available titles from all areas of vivaristics.
