## Overview

Fluval Bug Bites Cichlid Fish Food delivers a cutting-edge, insect-based diet featuring 40% nutrient-dense Black Soldier Fly Larvae as the primary ingredient. Enhanced with whole salmon and marine proteins rich in Omega 3 and 6, these slow sinking pellets support healthy skin, scales, and fins. Produced in small batches in Canada without artificial additives, this premium formula ensures freshness and balanced nutrition tailored for medium to large tropical fish, especially cichlids.

## 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 especially cichlids. This formula meets the growth requirement of this highly active and often aggressive fish species, while helping to ensure proper conditioning and repair of body and fins. 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.

Review: Fish fight over these! - Our Oscars love these. They actually fight over them!
Review: Watch the different PELLET sizes when ordering. - Too big. Hard to smash with a hammer to break them up. Pay close attention to the information on the block you select when ordering. The product is GREAT!!! If you have small mouth fish,get the smaller pellets , small/med. The med /lg ones are almost all large and will not crush. Good size bag ,donated to the fish in the lake.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many .oz is this for?**
A: 4.6 oz

**Q: Do these break apart and dissolve quickly or will they hold their shape well in water?**
A: They brake apart as the fish eat them. My fish don't give them time to 
Dissolve. They would if they sat there to long

**Q: Does this include Algae for plecos?**
A: It has soldier fly larve, salmon, wheat, peas, potato, alfalfa & vitamins. I supplement with hikari algae wafers as well

**Q: How long does it take these pellets to sink? My fish prefers food that sinks quickly.**
A: They sink IMMEDIATELY for my fish!!!! As soon as you drop them in there they sink so I’m confused on the rest of the answers … uhh…..?! Yes , yes they sink immediately, not as fast as the bigger pellets for adult fish but that is because they’re bigger pellets , more weight . These are tiny pellets that sink right when they make water contact ………..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Fish LOVE these AND they are super healthy for them.
*by V***R on July 26, 2023*

First, I read reviews for anything I buy. Very rare to ever find a product without negative reviews. I read the negative reviews on Fluval Bug Bites. I get if people weren't happy with shipping or their product arrived damaged. That's on the delivery system. But reviewers who want to claim this food killed their fish? Come on, really? Fish die for several reasons, processed food is the least likely and poor fish keeping being the most probable. Anyway, on to the positive review. My cichlids, clown loaches and Yo-Yo loaches absolutely love Fluval Bug Bites. For ever feeding I mix 5-6 kinds of foods and as most fish people know, the fish know when its feeding time. All the loaches head right to where they know the bug bites will drop to and they wait to begin feasting on them. The smaller cichlids join in. In just 2 months of using Bug Bites, my 5 clown loaches have doubled in size and are vibrant and happy. Same with the Yo-Yo's, growing like weeds! Finally, read the ingredients of the fish food you are considering buying. If the first few ingredients contain the words (wheat, grain, rice, fish meal), is that what you really want to be feeding your fish? Is that what they eat in the wild? Now look at the ingredients of Bug Bites. THAT is what your fish should be eating.
