Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Formula

Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Formula is a protein rich, insect based food that sinks quickly to reach plecos, corydoras, loaches, and other bottom dwelling fish. Black soldier fly larvae lead the recipe, with added plant matter to round out a bottom feeder diet. Explore our nutrition collection and freshwater range.

Why Fluval Bug Bites

• Insect based protein: nutrient rich black soldier fly larvae are among the first ingredients, a protein fish naturally forage for.
• Balanced daily nutrition: omega 3 and 6 fatty acids support healthy growth, energy, and a strong immune system.
• Sustainably sourced: farmed insect protein has a far smaller footprint than traditional fishmeal.
• Fast sinking so bottom dwellers get their share, with a stick option sized for plecos.

Feeding

Feed once or twice daily, often after lights out for shy or nocturnal fish, offering only what they finish within a few hours. Use granules for smaller bottom feeders and sticks for larger plecos.

FAQ

What makes Bug Bites different?
The recipe is built around nutrient rich black soldier fly larvae rather than relying on fishmeal, giving fish a protein source close to what they would eat in the wild.

Granules or Pleco sticks?
Use the small granules for corydoras, loaches, and smaller bottom feeders, and the Pleco sticks for larger plecos and other big rasping catfish.

How much should I feed?
Offer only what your fish finish in about two minutes, one to three times a day, and remove anything left uneaten to keep water quality high.
