Your cart is empty.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.

My betta loves them! Smell fresh and last a long time. Great quality ingredients. Small pieces are perfect size.

Use this for all my fish both big and small. CN find the micro size anymore but it’s a bit too big for fry and some smaller nano fish.

Bug bites tropical fish food: this food has become a staple in my feeding routine. It’s a smaller food which makes it great for my smaller bottom dwelling fish. My cories and kuhli loaches love these. Even the glowlight tetras will try to catch some as it falls or pick smaller pieces off the bottom. My spotted Raphael catfish also enjoys bug bites, although he prefers the Bottom feeders version as they are bigger granules and he is a bigger boy.This food doesn’t cloud my water or make a mess, although after I drop it in the tank it doesn’t last long in the water before someone has chowed it down.Some reviews mention it sinks slowly and others mention it sinks quickly. My experience is it sinks pretty quick.

I have a community Glow Fish with a Pleco. Lately I have noticed them spitting out the flakes that I have been serving them for several months now. I assumed they just got bored of it, worried- I did some research and came across these bug bites. First thing that I was impressed about was their positive feedback. So I purchased and like always with prime, recieved it in just a few days.I eagerly fed them the day that it arrived and WOW! Like many have said, my Danios went CRAZY! Almost like I added a spark of electricity to the water...the Tetras were a bit skeptical playing with the little bites like taste testing...spit, gulp, spit, gulp...finally they all gulped! The Sharks didn't seem overly impressed but they usally just feed off the aquarium decor. BUT! After some long observation of watching them, I did see them start cleaning the gravel ALOT more, and took this as them enjoying the leftovers.My pleco only comes out at night but he started leaving two inch poops! Yep, I think he was getting his fill too.The best thing I have noticed is the quality of my water. The flakes were all different sizes and if they were too big, they would just float around the tank and eventually just fill my filter. These bites are all perfect size portions that all my fish seem to enjoy. Some float giving the Danios a playfull feed, others sink fast settling at the bottom for the Sharks and pleco, and some sink slow allowing my Tetras to enjoy feeding time. My Tiger Barbs go everywhere and eat up whatever....their pretty easy maintenance.Pros:PERFECT size for all my Glow FishWay less wasteCleaner waterMuch cleaner filter during canister maintenanceALL my fish enjoy it.Cons: honestly I have none, I highly recommend!

I began using bug bites when I was fish keeping. The formula was great for my small tropical fish and Bettas either as a primary option or to supplement other foods.Now that I no longer keep aquariums, I actually use this to feed carnivorous plants. Rehydrating the flakes and providing to nepenthes pitchers can be a great energy boost for the plants to help them keep producing healthy pitchers. I've also used this with Venus fly traps and sundews.

I have neon tetra, ember tetra, khuli coaches, shrimp and bristle noses in the tank the tetras race around gobbling them up and they are small enough to eat for them. The shy khuli coaches will come out of hiding during the day to grab a couple. Will definitely order again

Sinceramente de todos los alimentos que les doy a mis pseudomugil gertrudae es el que más les gusta con diferencia. Éste forma parte de su alimento principal junto con el TROPICAL SOFT LINE (AMERICA) y el JBL NOVO ARTEMIO como suplemento. Siempre es mejor que tenga una dieta variada.Llevava con mis pseudomugil unos cuantos dÃas y antes les estaba dando de comer unos granulos pequeños y duros pero no tan pequeños como para su boca porque estos peces son enanos, pero este es ideal porque son bastante mas pequeños (en su mayorÃa) y con un par de bocados que le den al granulo mas grande se parte facilmente para posteriormente comerselo de una. Dura poco en supercifie pero lo suficiente como para que vayan cayendo poco a poco y asà repartir el alimento, para mi gusto dura el tiempo perfecto pues para mi tipo de peces es genial que caigan de poco a poco y se lo vayan comiendo tanto los que pillen por superficie como los que vayan cayendo a medio acuario, asà todos comen.Con diferencia es el aliento que más les gusta, se lo comen mas vorazmente, les encanta y lo admitieron a la primera toma de contacto. En un par de dÃas ya he notado a mis peces mas feroces/agresivos? creo la palabra correcta serÃa más vivaces y mucho más activos con una notabilidad sorprendente en el color.Definitivamente es el alimento que más recomiendo y el que mejor resultado me ha dado.Yo les doy con un pequeña cucharita que tengo 4-5 veces una vez al dÃa, las otras dos tomas se las doy de otro alimento, recordad que en la variedad de la dieta está la salud de tus peces, no porque sea el mejor alimento que tenga y el que más les guste significa que los atiborre, tiene un alto % de proteÃnas por lo que también necesita de otros alimentos con un poco de vegetal para su digestión.Otro dato que os doy, la tapa que cubre el bote una vez lo abras no lo tires, dale la vuelta (que aun lleva un poco de pegamento en el borde) y llevalo al fondo de la tapadera de rosca, esto permite que al cerrar la tapa el alimento esté un poco mas hermético y se conserve mejor durante más tiempo.Si crees que te ha sido util dale al boton de util para que otros usuarios vean este comentario detallado.Sin duda alguna lo recomiendo encarecidamente y será el alimento que jamás le faltarán a mis peces de ahora en adelante.

A great quality food, that is well received by my fish and shrimps. The smell is not overwhelming, and is not too big a size for my small fish. The natural colour and value seem very acceptable for the price.
