My pleco has been eating the Bug Bites sticks regularly for over two months. The fish shows better color and activity compared to when I was feeding regular pellets. The texture is natural and the fish seems to enjoy it.

I switched from commercial flakes to Bug Bites after reading about the insect-based nutrition. My pleco is more active and the scales look healthier. The high fiber content seems to support digestion well.
