## Overview

Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Fish Food delivers a premium, insect-based diet featuring 40% Black Soldier Fly Larvae as the primary ingredient. Designed specifically for medium to large bottom feeders, these 17-20mm sinking sticks provide a balanced blend of high-quality proteins, Omega fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Made in Canada in small batches without artificial additives, this formula supports healthy skin, scales, and fins while promoting sustainable aquaculture practices.

## 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 bottom feeders. This formula incorporates a healthy mix of animal proteins, vegetables and fiber, which is ideal for all types of plecos and ancistrus. 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 offer maximum freshness, which translates into better palatability.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many .oz is this for?**
A: 4.6 oz

**Q: Do these break apart and dissolve quickly or will they hold their shape well in water?**
A: They brake apart as the fish eat them. 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 ………..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not just for bottom feeders!
*by M***. on December 21, 2025*

My entire tank goes crazy when these hit the water. Angels, Cories, Rams, Rainbowfish and of course, Mr. Pleco. Much better nutrition than flake foods, plus the water stays clean. I rotate this with frozen foods and so far everyone is thriving. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!
