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.
• Two sizes: small granules for juveniles and smaller cichlids, medium to large pellets for full grown fish.

Feeding

Feed one to three times daily, offering only what fish finish in about two minutes. Use small granules for juveniles and smaller mouths, and medium to large pellets for adult cichlids.
