Enriched with whole salmon for Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, this slow sinking granule food supports healthy skin, scales, and fins. Produced in small batches in Canada without artificial additives, it offers a balanced diet fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, perfectly tailored for small to medium tropical fish like 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. ## Features - Tropical fish food that contains up to 40%, nutrient-rich Black Soldier Fly Larvae, the first ingredient - High in multiple proteins like whole salmon – rich in Omega 3 and 6 for healthy skin, scales and fins - Fortified with essential vitamins, amino acids and minerals for a balanced daily diet - Slow sinking granule format (1.4-1.6mm) – all fish can feed at their preferred depth; feed as much as fish can eat in two minutes, two or three times daily - Sustainably processed in small batches for quality control and maximum freshness - Made in Canada with no artificial fillers, colors or preservatives ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002DI0S4 | | Additional Features | Sustainable insect-based protein source and slow-sinking granules for varied feeding depths | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Salmon | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Animal Food Ingredient Claim | No Artificial Colors | | Animal Food Nutrient Content Claim | High Protein | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,718 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #151 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand | Fluval | | Brand Name | Fluval | | Breed Recommendation | Small Breeds | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,565 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Fish | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00015561165808 | | Included Components | Fluval Bug Bites Cichlid Granules 1.59 oz | | Item Form | Granule | | Item Type Name | Fluval Bug Bites Cichlid Fish Food, Granules for Small to Medium Sized Fish, 1.59 oz., A6580 | | Item Weight | 2.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Rolf C.
