Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Granule Fish Food 45g

My guppies, absolutely love these. I was aware by reading the previous comments that these granules were under the larger size for little guppy mouths so I crushed them which was quite simple to do. It’s quite a big pot so will last ages. With there been so much other food for tropical fish on the market you could get lost, however I’m glad I found something that my fish love. Yeah, the pellets and a bit smelly however what fish food doesn’t smell a little bit? Would definitely buy again.

As a dedicated hobbyist with a peaceful community tank that includes neon tetras, glowlight tetras, lampeyes, and catfish, I’m always on the lookout for a high-quality, nutritionally balanced food that meets the needs of all my species. After trying many brands over the years, Fluval Bug Bites has clearly emerged as the best all-round option — it’s now a permanent part of my fishkeeping routine. What sets Bug Bites apart is its insect-based formulation, led by black soldier fly larvae as the primary ingredient. This isn’t a trendy gimmick — it’s a thoughtful, biologically appropriate choice that closely reflects what small freshwater fish would eat in their natural habitats. The results speak for themselves: my fish are more active, exhibit deeper colours, and feed with genuine enthusiasm every time. The neon and glowlight tetras dart out excitedly as soon as the granules hit the water. There’s no hesitation, no bits left floating — just eager feeding from every corner of the tank. The lampeyes, with their more delicate, deliberate feeding style, seem to handle the granules easily, and I’ve had no issues with digestion or water fouling. As for my bottom-dwelling catfish, they happily clear up any that sink, making this a well-rounded food for both midwater and substrate feeders. One of the key benefits of Bug Bites is the clean feeding experience. The granules hold their shape well and don’t break down into cloudy mush, which helps keep the water clearer and the filter system cleaner. That’s a big plus in a mixed-species setup where excess food can quickly affect water quality. Nutritionally, it’s outstanding. Alongside the insect protein, the inclusion of salmon adds valuable omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, supporting overall health, immune strength, and vibrant colouring. The added vitamins and minerals seem to genuinely benefit my fish — I’ve noticed fewer signs of stress, brighter eyes, better fin condition, and steady growth, all without overfeeding. Another factor worth praising is Fluval’s commitment to sustainability. Insect protein is not only ideal for fish, but also an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional fish meal. For those of us who care about the ecological impact of our hobby, that’s a significant advantage. To sum up: Fluval Bug Bites is an excellent, intelligently designed food that provides balanced, natural nutrition for a wide range of tropical freshwater species. It supports everything from vibrant colours to digestive health, keeps the tank clean, and is made by a brand I’ve come to trust. If you keep a peaceful community tank with small to mid-sized fish like mine, I can’t recommend Bug Bites highly enough. Your fish will thrive — and they’ll show it every feeding time.

I have bought this for my fish... theyre really happy when they get fed they do love the taste of bug bites. its small so it can feed even the smallest of my fishes. I will buy again as theyre happy with it.

They're great for bottom feeders, I have a small shrimp colony and some neon cardinals and they go crazy for this stuff. Unfortunately though, the food usually sinks way too fast for any of the neons to get some. A good thing though is they're incredibly good at bringing shrimp out of hiding. Just a pinch and suddenly the whole colony is grazing at the front of the tank. Id only recommend this for bottom feeders. Another thing, the tub is very easy to open and close, its just a screw on lid but its not stiff at all.

My Bettas absolutely adore this stuff! They seem to love the taste. Out of my 8 bettas 2 of them need me to break it into smaller lie es than it comes in (easily done with the back of a spoon.) It's a good size tub of food and I expect it will last a couple of months.

Fish love it and good price.

This disappears quickly so I’m guessing my fish like it! It sinks straight to the bottom of the tank so leaves lots of opportunity for foraging later on.

Snail, fish like it.

👍👍👍

My fishes loves them, that's enough for me.

Te grote korrels voor cpd's maar als je het fijnmaalt zijn ze er dol op. Goed voer voor in je assortiment.

Sinceramente de todos los alimentos que les doy a mis pseudomugil gertrudae es el que más les gusta con diferencia. Éste forma parte de su alimento principal junto con el TROPICAL SOFT LINE (AMERICA) y el JBL NOVO ARTEMIO como suplemento. Siempre es mejor que tenga una dieta variada. Llevava con mis pseudomugil unos cuantos días y antes les estaba dando de comer unos granulos pequeños y duros pero no tan pequeños como para su boca porque estos peces son enanos, pero este es ideal porque son bastante mas pequeños (en su mayoría) y con un par de bocados que le den al granulo mas grande se parte facilmente para posteriormente comerselo de una. Dura poco en supercifie pero lo suficiente como para que vayan cayendo poco a poco y así repartir el alimento, para mi gusto dura el tiempo perfecto pues para mi tipo de peces es genial que caigan de poco a poco y se lo vayan comiendo tanto los que pillen por superficie como los que vayan cayendo a medio acuario, así todos comen. Con diferencia es el aliento que más les gusta, se lo comen mas vorazmente, les encanta y lo admitieron a la primera toma de contacto. En un par de días ya he notado a mis peces mas feroces/agresivos? creo la palabra correcta sería más vivaces y mucho más activos con una notabilidad sorprendente en el color. Definitivamente es el alimento que más recomiendo y el que mejor resultado me ha dado. Yo les doy con un pequeña cucharita que tengo 4-5 veces una vez al día, las otras dos tomas se las doy de otro alimento, recordad que en la variedad de la dieta está la salud de tus peces, no porque sea el mejor alimento que tenga y el que más les guste significa que los atiborre, tiene un alto % de proteínas por lo que también necesita de otros alimentos con un poco de vegetal para su digestión. Otro dato que os doy, la tapa que cubre el bote una vez lo abras no lo tires, dale la vuelta (que aun lleva un poco de pegamento en el borde) y llevalo al fondo de la tapadera de rosca, esto permite que al cerrar la tapa el alimento esté un poco mas hermético y se conserve mejor durante más tiempo. Si crees que te ha sido util dale al boton de util para que otros usuarios vean este comentario detallado. Sin duda alguna lo recomiendo encarecidamente y será el alimento que jamás le faltarán a mis peces de ahora en adelante.

As usual... very high quality food from fluval... doesn't disappoint one bit. fish attack the food as soon as it is introduced in the tank.
