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. Bug Bites’ daily diet color enhancing formula contains a significant amount of shrimp (a source of astaxanthin), which boosts the natural pigmentation in tropical fish. 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.

Customers say
Customers find this fish food to be of high quality and effective for color enhancement, with good value for money. The size receives mixed feedback – while some find the bites big enough for larger fish, others note they are very small.

Great food
My opinion some of the best food out there . Color really comes out on the cichlids . I use the med to large granules and itâs very small like a baby size pellet . I wish they offered it in larger sizes. Overall great for South America cichlids of a 2â size up to a 4-5â size.

Great fish food, color enhancing seems effective
My barbs love these, and their colors and health are top notch! They all do a dance for me when I come to the tank at feeding time, I think they really enjoy these pellets!

Fish go crazy for this
My discus love this
Ren –
Very large pellets
These are much larger than all of the other cory pellets I’ve used. Two to three times as big at least. Not a terrible thing but I’ll likely have to break them up to make it easier to spread around. Only used it once so far but my cories all seemed to like it.
