Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Fish Food for Medium to Large Sized Fish, 4.59 oz., A6587

Fluval Bug Bites is a comprehensive fish food that features a unique insect-based formulation, enriched with multiple quality proteins and carbohydrates, making it ideal for bottom feeders. This formula incorporates a healthy blend of animal proteins, vegetables, and fiber, which is perfect for all types of plecos and ancistrus. Insects are a common prey for 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 enhanced with multiple quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.

Most freshwater fish are omnivores and regularly feed on 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 #1 ingredient across all formulas), which are raised on fruits and vegetables for exceptional "super food" nutrition. Using a unique cultivation process, Black Soldier Flies are grown under controlled conditions for total sustainability, preserving natural environments. Under these controlled conditions, Black Soldier Flies produce larvae, which naturally feed on decaying organic matter. Unconsumed fruits and vegetables are used as larvae feed, and 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 then mixed with other high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements to offer a complete and balanced daily diet.

In addition to Black Soldier Fly Larvae, 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 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 offers maximum freshness, which translates into better palatability.

Bug Bites are a bottom feeder fish food that contains up to 40% nutrient-rich Black Soldier Fly Larvae as the first 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 formula is also fortified with essential vitamins, amino acids, and minerals for a balanced daily diet. The sinking stick format (17-20mm) is ideal for bottom feeders, and the recommended feeding is as much as the fish can eat 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.
