## Overview

## 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 bottom feeders. This formula incorporates a healthy mix of animal proteins, vegetables and fiber, which is ideal for all types of plecos and ancistrus. 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 offer maximum freshness, which translates into better palatability.

Review: Great food, Great ingredients, Great price - This is worth its weight in gold! My corydora catfish and my bristle nose pleco LOVE it. They all come out and go crazy as soon as it hits the water. My fish look healthy and have been spawning since changing to this food. It doesn't make any mess in the tank even if some are missed by the fish. The pellets are perfectly sized for my smaller to larger fish. There is also a good amount of food in the jar for such a low price. I will definitely be buying again!
Review: Fantastic for small bottom feeders! They'll love it! - Five 🌟 's all around! All of my bottom , feeders love these , and I highly recommend them! If you have tiny bottom feeders like loach, then these are perfect. Snails love'em too! They are very easy to use.The color is exactly as pictured.It seems to be very good quality, and after the Alder cone incident, what fish remain Seem to be in good health and still love these. It is highly edible for smaller bottom feeders! (I purchased the desertcart choice for Alder cones, so I could get some tannin in my tanks , and it released something tea colored , but it killed absolutely everything in all of my tanks , except for one. I had 3 tanks set up with over 30 different fish. And at least 80 candy shrimp. All dead because of the cones. And I read the reviews.People spoke highly of them , so they must of changed something in them or started sourcing them differently, or I got a bad batch , I don't know but it killed everything and I am not happy about it!)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these a balanced diet for corydoras?**
A: More for plecos then Corydoras

**Q: They won't tell ingredients on any site, even their own.  Anyone have them?**
A: Ingredients: Black Soldier Fly Larvae, Salmon, Wheat, Green Peas, Potato, Dicalcium Phosphate, Alfalfa Nutrient Concentrate, Calcium Carbonate, DL-Methionine, Lecithin, Choline Chloride, L-Lysine, Vitamin E Supplement, Biotin, Niacin, Calcium L-Ascorbyl-2-Monophosphate, Marigold Extract, Zinc Oxide, Manganous Oxide, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Beta-Carotene, Rosemary Extract, Riboflavin, Copper Sulfate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Inositol, Folic Acid, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin D3 Supplement.

This should be correct.  I got it off a bottle in the store.  Problem is you have to peel the label back to read the ingredients.  I suspect that is why finding this info has been a bit difficult.

**Q: Are these ok to use with frogs?**
A: Yes they will love it

**Q: Does bug bites bottom feeder formula contain vitamin d3 or copper?**
A: Hi There,

This product does contain Vitamin D3 Supplement and copper sulfate. For a full list of ingredients please visit the Fluval Aquatics website.

Thank you,
