Lily Knox –
My cichlids have been eating Bug Bites regularly for three months. They seem more active and their colors are brighter than before. The pellets sink slowly, so my fish feed at the bottom where they like it. No fish have shown any interest in other foods, which makes this a reliable daily option.
Carol Carr –
Switched from a commercial flake to Bug Bites after reading about the insect-based protein. My large cichlids are now more vibrant and have better skin condition. The sinking pellets are easy to distribute and don’t float to the surface.
Brian Sharp –
The food is well-formulated and the fish enjoy it. I noticed improved appetite and better fin condition. It’s a bit more expensive than flakes, but the quality is worth it for long-term health.

My cichlids have never refused this food. The texture is firm but easy to digest. The inclusion of Black Soldier Fly Larvae seems to support their growth and overall health. I’ve seen fewer instances of fin rot since switching.
