Featuring 40% nutrient-dense Black Soldier Fly Larvae as the primary ingredient, enriched with whole salmon and marine proteins rich in Omega 3 and 6, it promotes vibrant skin, strong fins, and luminous scales. Slow sinking pellets cater to natural feeding behaviors, while small-batch sustainable production guarantees freshness and quality without artificial additives. ## 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.

My fish don't give them time to Dissolve. They would if they sat there to long **Q: Does this include Algae for plecos?** A: It has soldier fly larve, salmon, wheat, peas, potato, alfalfa & vitamins. I supplement with hikari algae wafers as well **Q: How long does it take these pellets to sink? My fish prefers food that sinks quickly.** A: They sink IMMEDIATELY for my fish!!!! As soon as you drop them in there they sink so I’m confused on the rest of the answers … uhh…..?! Yes , yes they sink immediately, not as fast as the bigger pellets for adult fish but that is because they’re bigger pellets , more weight . These are tiny pellets that sink right when they make water contact ……….. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nöjd *by K***S on 12 February 2026* Snabb leverans och nöjda fiskar ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Watch the different PELLET sizes when ordering. *by C***Y on 10 April 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Livraison rapide *by P***D on 17 March 2026* Très bon produit ## Frequently Bought Together - Fluval Bug Bites Cichlid Fish Food, Pellets for Medium to Large Sized Fish, 3.53 oz., A6581 - Fluval Bug Bites Cichlid Fish Food, Granules for Small to Medium Sized Fish, 1.59 oz., A6580 - Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Fish Food, Granules for Small to Medium Sized Fish, 1.60 Oz., A6586 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/545409273-fluval-bug-bites-cichlid-fish-food-pellets-for-medium-to](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/545409273-fluval-bug-bites-cichlid-fish-food-pellets-for-medium-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
