Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Formula – Small to Medium
Why Bugs? Insects have long been preyed upon in the wild as they offer fish a high-protein, nutrient-rich diet that is easily digested and readily available. The black soldier fly is widely hunted particularly for its great nutritional content and palatability, which is why we’ve made it the #1 ingredient in all Bug Bites formulas.
The formula also includes a high quality salmon protein, which is rich in Omega-3 and 6 for healthy skin, scales, fins and a more colourful appearance. Essential amino acids and minerals are mixed into every formula to ensure your fish enjoy a completely balanced diet.
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 fish.

My betta has been eating the Bug Bites Tropical Formula consistently for two months. The fish seems more vibrant with better color and active behavior. The flakes sink well and are easy to feed. No fish have shown any signs of digestive issues.

I switched from flake food to this insect-based formula and noticed my guppies are more active and their fins look healthier. The smell is mild and the fish seem to enjoy it. A little more expensive, but worth it for the nutrition.

My community tank of small tropical fish has been thriving on this food. The black soldier fly content seems to be well accepted, and the fish eat it eagerly. The Omega-3 content appears to improve their skin and color over time.
