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 goldfish. High in fiber, this formula ensures food intake is properly processed through the intestinal tract, supporting a healthier gut and overall wellness for this cold-water species. 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.

My fishes loved the food
My fishes loved it, the only thing it is a bit big for them to eat, so I might just press on plate to squeeze some food. It doesn’t fall down right away. So fishes have time to catch it, mine bottom feeders love this food as well. Ordered more already, because it was on sale.

Fish devour this food!
The goldfish and rosy minnows in my 10 gallon aquarium devour this food and then scavenge the gravel. It sinks at a rate so that some is eaten while other bites sink to the bottom for bottom feeders. Great product and good price!

Best goldfish food ever!
This stuff!!! My fish LOVE it, and their colors are gorgeous!! A huge difference in color, by far the only goldfish food I bye cause the fish demand it, and it doesn’t cloud the tank!

Interesting stuff!
I bought 5 little goldfish (the 17 cent kind…) for my pond. After nearly 2 months they are still too afraid to be in the open and have been eating only algae. I bought this stuff (for small to medium fish) hoping they’d get braver. I drop it in the pond and it nearly immediately falls to the bottom, but they have begun finding it and go into a frenzy. The nuggets are very small, making me wish I’d bought a different size of product, but the fish seem thrilled with it!UPDATE 8/13/20: Fish continue to love this stuff, but the snails in my pond multiplied at least 10 fold. I had to scrape dozens of them off the pond pump. I don’t like killing living things but I had to make an exception. There’s no way to get uneaten teeny weeny pieces of this out of the pond, so I’ve quit feeding it. : (

My goldfish love it!!
My goldfish absolutely love this food. I do not feed it to them on a daily basis. I feed it to them about 2 to 3 times per week. They absolutely go after this food and eat every bit that I put into the tank. The only problem that I have with this product is that the granules, in my opinion, seem to be more like flakes. When I put the “granules” into the aquarium, they go everywhere and it looks like it is snowing bug bites. For this reason, I put small amounts at a time until my fish seem to be satisfied. I have tried the Bug Bites pellets, and they are just too large for my medium-sized goldfish. Nevertheless, my goldfish love this food and I will continue buying it.

It sinks to the bottom but what my fish don’t eat on the way down they pick it off the bottom.

These are a great addition to the fish pantry! For our small tank (and small fish!) I find it’s best to crush up a few grains before sprinkling in. The fish enjoy them – good value for money and the tub lasts ages.
Amazon Customer –
These are a excellent source of added vitamin and good sizethe size is small they do not cloudy your tank the only thing i can say about these is they do not sink so if you are wanting a sinking pellets they dont sink – although i have tried a few things to make them sinkif you put them in water before hand and leave them for about 10 mins some do sink others done
