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.
