This food isn't exactly new, it's been on the market for over a year. I started feed trials with it last year. Probably just took a while to reach parts of the USA. Bug Bites boasts of not having any artificial preservatives, fillers or color. On the surface makes it appear fully natural and safe for your fishes and all together alternate food source. There are four variations of Bug Bites available depending on the type of fish you keep, plus a pleasant surprise was that Fluval included a formula for bottom-feeders, they didn't leave out our plecos! The formula of Bug Bites comes in two forms of granules and pellets. Granules are slow-sinking, suspending towards the surface and middle, while pellets are more suitable for bottom feeders. Fluval source ingredients locally and have them delivered immediately before production resulting in Bug Bites being as fresh as it possibly can be.

In 2019, due to popular demand, Fluval released Bug Bites as a flake, available in a variety of formulations for health, colour and vitality. Perfecting the process for the planet It's a high energy food with a minimum of 12.5% crude fat, which means the average fat level, or typical analysis, would be closer to 15%. IMO that's far too high for most tropical fish to consume as a daily staple. Especially species of fish that don't expend a lot of energy in an aquarium. So now it’s time to see what all the fuss is about! Try the flake sample included on this magazine with your own fish and experience feeding a premium food that’s not only great for them but healthier for the planet!Over the last four years since launching in 2017, Bug Bites have become widely recognised as a quality, established fish food, winning numerous awards including being voted Aquatic Product of the Year by UK aquatic retailers!

If combined (peas/potato/wheat) the inclusion rate of terrestrial based plant matter in this formula might be alarming. Bottom feeders require more fiber and this is why wheat as the top ingredient makes this variant a fiber-rich formula. Sustainability is at the heart of Fluval Bug Bites, and it’s the innovative, eco-friendly production process that sets this high-quality fish food apart from the rest. The product is manufactured in small batches for maximum quality control and to preserve the freshness. Both the variants are available in 45g quantity.The answer is YES, a food that is created with staying as close to natural as possible and your fish will love.

Be sure to avoid food products with fillers and additives, as they will not provide any added value to your guppies. It is available in granules or pellets Crude protein (%) (min) 40.0, Crude fat (%) (min) 12.5, Crude fiber (%) (max) 5.0, Moisture (%) (max) 10.0, Ash (%) (max) 9.0, Calcium (%) (min) 1.50%, Phosphorus (%) (min) 0.80%, Vitamin A (IU/kg) (min) 2,500, Vitamin D3 (IU/kg) (min) 2,400, Vitamin E (IU/kg) (min) 75.

Due to the higher protein, and high fat levels, this formula would probably work well as a conditioning food for fish getting ready to spawn, but due to the reasons listed above I would not feed as a daily staple, to polys, or anything else. Now, “Bug Bites” is divided into four different categories to cover the most popular tropical fish. The four types are Tropical, Cichlid, Goldfish and Bottom Feeder. We further broke down each group to clear up any questions you might have below. It also contains other proteins in the form of salmon, which is a rich source of fatty acids. Complex amino acids are found in concentrated protein.The benefits of Bug Bites go way beyond being simply a tasty food for your fish.
