Bring the wild to your aquarium. Most fish are instinctive insectivores, and Fluval Bug Bites are designed to replicate the natural, nutrient-rich diet they would find in the wild. This premium formula uses Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) as the #1 ingredient, providing a "super food" protein source that is significantly more palatable and nutritious than traditional fish meal fillers.
Designed specifically for bottom feeders like Plecos and Ancistrus, these sinking granules provide a complete, balanced daily diet. Enriched with whole salmon for vital Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, your fish will enjoy improved fin, scale, and skin health, along with vibrant, natural coloration.
Insect-Based Nutrition: The #1 ingredient is sustainably harvested Black Soldier Fly Larvae, raised on fruits and vegetables to ensure your fish receive high-quality, balanced protein.
Premium Salmon Protein: Fortified with whole salmon, providing essential fatty acids for brilliant colors and healthy fins and scales.
Optimized Sinking Format: The 1.4–1.6mm sinking granule is perfect for bottom-dwelling species. It sinks quickly to where your fish feed, minimizing waste and ensuring your plecos get their fair share.
Small-Batch Freshness: Unlike mass-produced brands, Fluval processes their Bug Bites in small batches to ensure maximum freshness and high palatability.
Clean, Healthy Formula: Made in Canada with zero artificial fillers, artificial colors, or chemical preservatives—just pure, nutrient-rich nutrition.
Vitamin & Mineral Rich: Expertly fortified with essential amino acids and trace elements to support a strong immune system and daily vitality.

The Two-Minute Rule: Feed your fish only as much as they can fully consume within two minutes. This prevents excess food from breaking down and affecting your water quality.
Consistency: Feed 2–3 times daily for optimal health. Because the granules sink, they are an excellent choice for community tanks where you want to ensure the bottom-dwellers aren't outcompeted for food by surface swimmers.
Mixing it Up: While Bug Bites are a complete diet, your fish will thrive on variety! Feel free to alternate this with fresh vegetables like zucchini for your plecos to keep their environment and diet dynamic.
Standard fish foods rely heavily on processed grain fillers that offer little nutritional value. Fluval Bug Bites focus on sustainable, insect-based protein that mimics what fish eat in their natural habitat. It’s a cleaner, more natural choice that results in healthier fish, cleaner water, and better growth rates.
