Description

Fluval Bug Bites is a complete fish food that features a unique insect-based formulation, enriched with multiple quality proteins and carbohydrates that are ideal for tropical fish such as bettas, goldfish, cichlids, guppies, and tetras. Insects are hunted by fish in the wild as they offer a widely available food source. The instinctive feeding habit is the foundation behind Bug Bites, which are formulated with nutrient-rich insect larvae and enriched with multiple quality proteins, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Most freshwater fish are omnivores and regularly feed on insects in the wild. However, not all insects are created equally when it comes to a fish’s diet. Bug Bites are formulated with sustainably harvested Black Soldier Fly Larvae (1 ingredient across all formulas), which are raised on fruits and vegetables for exceptional “super food” nutrition. Using a unique cultivation process, BSFL are grown under controlled conditions for total sustainability that preserves natural environments. Under controlled conditions, Black Soldier Flies produce larvae, which naturally feed on decaying organic matter. Unconsumed fruits and vegetables are used as larvae feed. The larvae consume the feed, converting the nutrients into protein and healthy fat. After a 2-week feeding cycle, the larvae are harvested and dried. The dried larvae are mixed with other high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals and trace elements to offer a complete and balanced daily diet. In addition to BSFL, Bug Bites offer other excellent protein sources such as Herring & Shrimp Meal, which are also rich in Omega-3 for healthy skin, scales, fins and colors. Unlike big brand fish foods, Bug Bites are always prepared in small batches for superior control and quality assurance. The proximity of our ingredients (most of which are delivered right before production) also offers maximum freshness, which translates into better palatability.

  • High quality ingredients and perfect size for nano fish
Size: 1.6 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Small Granules
I use Fluval Bug Bites small granules across multiple nano tanks and it’s been a great all around food. I feed it to bettas, pea puffers, corydoras, and kuhli loaches, and even my shrimp and snails will graze on it. Everyone loves it! The ingredients are solid. Black soldier fly larvae as the main ingredient is a big plus, along with fish protein and added vitamins. It feels much cleaner than a lot of filler heavy foods, and my fish take to it immediately. A little goes a long way, especially for nano tanks, so the container lasts a very long time. Overall, it’s a reliable staple food that works well for mixed community tanks with small to medium fish. ... show more

  • Easy and good quality
Size: 1.6 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Small Granules
This is my “go to” for feeding a community of fish, between plecos, platies, mollies, guppies, and shrimps. I travel a lot and I use this in my automatic feeder which works great for that, knowing my fish will get quality protein. It’s also very affordable! I recommend this for every community tank with more than one species. ... show more

  • High-Quality Nutrition for Small Fish
Size: 1.6 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Small Granules
Fluval Bug Bites are an excellent staple food for small to medium tropical fish. The granules are the perfect size for easy feeding, and the formula is packed with insect protein, which closely mimics a natural diet. My fish show great color and energy since switching to this food. It sinks slowly, giving both top and mid-level feeders a chance to eat, and it doesn’t cloud the water. A healthy, high-quality option that fish love! ... show more

  • High protein content and low waste!
Size: 1.6 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Small Granules
I like to provide a variety of foods to my fish, and this one seemed a favorite to them. My most finicky fish is a Betta named Matisse; he liked it since day one so that surprised me. What I like about this food is it's high protein content and how it is processed. You can find links on YouTube to see how the food is made with excellent ingredients and not just filler. Its made primarily of Black Soldier fly larvae and salmon, so you know this is a great choice for your scaled darlings AND shrimp (some snails seemed to like it too). The food leaves very little waste, most likely because any inhabitants in your tank will rush to eat it :) The only cons (if you can even call it that) is that it isn't as "slow sinking" as the label describes. The food actually sinks very quickly. Another minor annoyance is that the granules vary in size. I have to manually sort the larger pieces between my fingers so I can get the right size for Matisse because he seems to not like the smaller pieces and if I just sprinkle the food for the fish in my other tank, the tetras end up having to pluck the food from the bottom of the tank since the food sinks so fast. Luckily, it is so delicious to them it is worth it...but, one of them already has some scrapes on his mouth from trying to dig for food between the gravel rocks. Overall, it is a really good primary food and you don't have to worry about them possibly getting infections from live food if your aim is to give them something that is high protein. Worth the try! ... show more

  • Edible fairy dust for your little water friends.
Size: 1.6 Ounce (Pack of 1) Style: Small Granules
I stumbled upon this brand through researching a tank I was gifted. It didn't come with the box, so I did a bit of google searching to realize it was Fluval brand. Seeing so many positive reviews, I decided to trust the public and try the fish food. I purchased the small granules since I only had a betta and a few tiny comets from a Japanese festival. When I received it, the container was smaller than I expected (2.75 inches tall). When I opened it, the food was way smaller than any small fish pellets I've purchased in the past. It was almost like the fine dust off an unbathed stranger's shoulder that has fallen from upon thy scalp. Although small and fine, it didn't fog up my tank. I was worried the fish wouldn't be able to inhale all the food, and it would leave me with more water changes. Surprisingly, the little goldfish and betta I had were able to demolish every little speck I sprinkled in. -I do recommend finding a tiny little spoon for feedings. I was fortunate to have a little feeder spoon from a different brand prior. I would not shake this small food into your tank after fully opening your food. I can only imagine your tank becoming a snow globe of fish food. Through a couple weeks into feeding, I noticed brighter, deeper colors, and even color changes in my fish. My goldfish were becoming gold, and my betta was no longer pale and pastel looking. They seemed to be transformed as Cinderella from her raggedy torn pink dress into her big poofy extra as hail blue dress. Thus me concluding this is magic fairy dust for these little fish. Although I haven't tasted the food myself, I'm pretty sure my water friends are happy with it. ... show more
