This formula incorporates a healthy mix of animal proteins, vegetables and fiber, which is ideal for all types of plecos and ancistrus. 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. ## Features - Bottom feeder fish food that contains up to 40%, nutrient-rich Black Soldier Fly Larvae, the first ingredient - High in multiple proteins like whole salmon – rich in Omega 3 and 6 for healthy skin, scales and fins - Fortified with essential vitamins, amino acids and minerals for a balanced daily diet - Sinking stick format (17-20mm) – ideal for bottom feeders; feed as much as fish can eat in two minutes, two or three times daily - Sustainably processed in small batches for quality control and maximum freshness - Made in Canada with no artificial fillers, colors or preservatives ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071NMTNM1 | | ASIN | B071NMTNM1 | | Additional Features | Lightweight, Portable | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Salmon | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Animal Food Ingredient Claim | No Artificial Colors | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,950 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #75 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand Name | Fluval | | Breed Recommendation | Medium Breeds | | Container Type | Pouch | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,267) | | Date First Available | May 3, 2017 | | Department | Unisex-Adult | | Dog Breed Size | Medium | | Flavor | Seafood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00015561165877 | | Included Components | Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Sticks 4.59 oz | | Item Form | Stick | | Item Type Name | Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Fish Food, Sticks for Medium to Large Sized Fish, 4.59 oz., A6587 | | Item Weight | 0.13 kg | | Item model number | A6587 | | Manufacturer | Rolf C.
