Xtreme SoFly Flakes
Give your tropical fish a natural, sustainable protein boost with Xtreme SoFly Flakes. Black soldier fly larvae is the number-one ingredient, an eco-friendly insect protein that mirrors the bugs and larvae fish hunt in the wild. Krill and astaxanthin round out the recipe for rich color and steady energy, and it is farm-grown and made in the USA. Browse more fish food at Squeaky's Aquatics.
Why Black Soldier Fly Larvae
Insect protein is highly digestible, packed with amino acids, and far more sustainable than traditional fish meal. Fish recognize it as natural prey and feed eagerly, which means less waste in the tank and cleaner water. The flakes float briefly, then drift slowly downward, so surface and mid-water feeders all get their share.
Great For
An everyday staple for community aquariums. Tetras, rainbowfish, bettas, danios, barbs, rasboras, livebearers, gouramis, and most small to medium tropical fish love it.
Feeding
Feed once or twice daily, offering only as much as your fish will finish in a couple of minutes. Remove any uneaten food to keep water quality high, and store the container sealed in a cool, dry place. Offered in 0.5 oz (14 g), 1 oz (28 g), and 2 oz (57 g); choose your size at the top of the page.
