Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Fish Food, Small Granules for Small to Medium Sized Fish, 1.6 oz.

Fluval Bug Bites is a comprehensive fish food that features a unique insect-based formulation, enriched with multiple quality proteins and carbohydrates, making it an ideal choice for tropical fish such as bettas, goldfish, cichlids, guppies, and tetras. Insects are a natural food source that fish often hunt in the wild, and this instinctive feeding habit is the foundation behind the Bug Bites formula, which is made with nutrient-rich insect larvae and enhanced with various quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.

Most freshwater fish are omnivores and regularly consume insects in their natural habitat. However, not all insects are equally suitable for a fish's diet. Bug Bites are formulated with sustainably harvested Black Soldier Fly Larvae (the primary ingredient across all formulas), which are raised on a diet of fruits and vegetables, providing exceptional "super food" nutrition. The unique cultivation process ensures that the Black Soldier Flies are grown under controlled conditions, maintaining total sustainability and preserving natural environments.

Under these controlled conditions, Black Soldier Flies produce larvae that naturally feed on decaying organic matter. Unconsumed fruits and vegetables are used as the larvae's feed, which they then convert into protein and healthy fat. After a 2-week feeding cycle, the larvae are harvested and dried. The dried larvae are then mixed with other high-quality proteins, such as Herring & Shrimp Meal, which are also rich in Omega-3 for healthy skin, scales, fins, and colors, as well as essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements to offer a complete and balanced daily diet.

Unlike many big-brand fish foods, Bug Bites are always prepared in small batches for superior control and quality assurance. The proximity of the ingredients (most of which are delivered right before production) also ensures maximum freshness, resulting in better palatability for the fish.

Fluval Bug Bites are a tropical fish food that contains up to 40% of the nutrient-rich Black Soldier Fly Larvae as the primary ingredient. They are high in multiple proteins, including whole salmon, which is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 for healthy skin, scales, and fins. The food is also fortified with essential vitamins, amino acids, and minerals to provide a balanced daily diet.

The slow-sinking micro granule format (0.7-1mm) allows all fish to feed at their preferred depth, and the recommendation is to feed as much as the fish can consume in two minutes, two or three times daily. Fluval Bug Bites are sustainably processed in small batches for quality control and maximum freshness, and they are made in Canada with no artificial fillers, colors, or preservatives.
