Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Granule Fish Food 45g

Product Information

In 2019, due to popular demand, Fluval released Bug Bites as a flake, available in a variety of formulations for health, colour and vitality. Perfecting the process for the planet Being highly palatable and comprised of clean ingredients, with no added artificial fillers, colours or preservatives, Bug Bites are easily digested, resulting in less waste and therefore a cleaner aquarium.

The answer is YES, a food that is created with staying as close to natural as possible and your fish will love. Bug Bites is fish food that provides all-around nutrition while staying away from fillers and using bugs! It's a high energy food with a minimum of 12.5% crude fat, which means the average fat level, or typical analysis, would be closer to 15%. IMO that's far too high for most tropical fish to consume as a daily staple. Especially species of fish that don't expend a lot of energy in an aquarium. Large pallet items like aquariums are deemed delivered successfully with no damage once the the driver has left the property. If a report of damage is submitted after the driver has left we may be unable to assist with replacements. We recommend refusing a damaged delivery, this is the fastest resolution.Additional fish protein is added in a concentrated profile to provide a more complex form of amino acid. This proves to be beneficial for the healthy growth of fishes. Protein is not just from fly larvae, they also include some form of salmon, fish protein concentrate, and peas. I would have preferred to not see terrestrial plant matter (peas) being utilized as protein (might as well be soybeans), or fish protein concentrate, and would have preferred to see a LOT more fly larvae meal. Labelled as “the aquatic food of the future”, Fluval Bug Bites first splashed into the fish food market in 2017 with a selection of pellets and granules in species-specific formulas, all of which were received positively by consumers and, perhaps more importantly, the fish that ate them! Potato - why? If the company was more specific one would know, but without further details it could be used as another terrestrial based protein (potato protein concentrate) or as a binding agent (potato starch). Who knows? Either way, no thanks to feeding potatoes to carnivores - the wheat in this formula should suffice as a binding agent. It also contains other proteins in the form of salmon, which is a rich source of fatty acids. Complex amino acids are found in concentrated protein.

The product is manufactured in small batches for maximum quality control and to preserve the freshness. Both the variants are available in 45g quantity. There are several options for cichlid foods. Some contain live foods, which will be more nutritious and will keep the fish healthy. Others are formulated with a balanced formula and will provide the essential vitamins and minerals. These supplements will also help the cichlids’ immune system, improve their color, and promote better digestion. Fish food pellets are about 2.5 to 3 mm in size and are coated with a probiotic, which improves the fish’s health and digestion. Bug Bites is available in five different formulas; Tropical for small and medium/large fish, Colour Enhancing, Cichlid, Bottom Feeder and Goldfish. The outcome of this unique production process is a delicious, healthy recipe that fish simply cannot get enough of! Why choose Bug Bites? Bottom feeders require more fiber and this is why wheat as the top ingredient makes this variant a fiber-rich formula.

Save Energy. Save Money.

The larvae consume the fruit and vegetables, converting the nutrients into protein and good fats. After a 14-day feeding cycle, the larvae are harvested and dried into a highly nutritious flour, ready for Bug Bites production. More than meets the eye Bug Bites” contains a source of fiber in the form of wheat which is considered to be much better than wheat flour or wheat gluten.

The benefits of Bug Bites go way beyond being simply a tasty food for your fish. The presence of Omega 3 and 6 contributes to heathier skin, fins and scales which promotes vibrant colours, and the powerful mix of vitamins, minerals and nutrients builds a complete, balanced diet that keeps your fish happy and healthy.

The product is made from sustainably harvested ingredients. Guppies, rasboras, and large cichlids can all thrive on this nutritious food. The product is also suitable for shrimps and other tropical fish. It is created using sustainable methodsSeveral years ago, Fluval noticed a gap in the market for a fish food that would challenge outdated and unsustainable production processes and began to work on a formula that would offer a greener, cleaner fish food to the fish-keeping community. The best guppy food should have a good mixture of animal and plant matter. A good diet for a guppy should contain about 30 percent protein and five percent fat. Be sure to avoid food products with fillers and additives, as they will not provide any added value to your guppies. It is available in granules or pellets
