Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Fish Food, Small to Medium Fish, 1.60 Oz.

Fluval Bug Bites is a complete fish food designed specifically for bottom feeders, featuring a unique insect-based formulation enriched with high-quality proteins and carbohydrates. This formula is ideal for all types of plecos and ancistrus, incorporating a healthy blend of animal proteins, vegetables, and fiber. In the wild, fish instinctively hunt insects as a readily available food source. The foundation of Bug Bites lies in this instinctive feeding behavior, utilizing nutrient-rich insect larvae combined with multiple quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.

Most freshwater fish are omnivores and naturally consume insects as part of their diet. Bug Bites distinguish themselves by utilizing sustainably harvested Black Soldier Fly Larvae as their primary ingredient. Raised on a diet of fruits and vegetables, these larvae offer exceptional "super food" nutrition. Through a unique cultivation process, Black Soldier Flies are grown in controlled conditions to ensure sustainability and preserve natural habitats. The larvae feed on decaying organic matter, converting nutrients into protein and healthy fat. After harvesting and drying, the larvae are combined with other high-quality proteins to create a complete and balanced daily diet.

In addition to Black Soldier Fly Larvae, Bug Bites include other excellent protein sources such as Herring & Shrimp Meal, rich in Omega-3 for healthy skin, scales, fins, and colors. Unlike larger fish food brands, Bug Bites are prepared in small batches to guarantee superior control and quality. The proximity of ingredients, many of which are delivered just before production, ensures maximum freshness and palatability.

Key features of Bug Bites include a high content of nutrient-rich Black Soldier Fly Larvae as the first ingredient, multiple proteins like whole salmon for Omega-3 and 6 benefits, essential vitamins, amino acids, and minerals for a balanced diet, a sinking granule format ideal for bottom feeders, and a recommendation to feed as much as fish can consume in two minutes, two or three times daily. Produced in Canada, Bug Bites contain no artificial fillers, colors, or preservatives, offering a premium option for maintaining the health and vitality of bottom feeder fish.
