Bug Bites Tropical Flakes, 18 g (0.63 oz)

Bug Bites Flakes are specifically formulated to address the natural, insect-based feeding habits of fish, with added vitamins, minerals and other trace nutrients important to their health and vitality. The first two ingredients in this formula include high quality protein sources that stimulate a strong feeding response in fish, while providing a complete amino acid profile that are essential to their growth and condition.

Composition & Analysis

What it is. Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Flakes are built around dried Black Soldier Fly larvae as the principal ingredient — an insect-based protein source, chosen because insects are what fish actually hunt and eat in the wild, rather than the plant- or fishmeal-heavy recipes most flake foods lean on.

Where this sits in the Fluval range. Tropical is one of several Bug Bites formulas built on the same Black Soldier Fly larvae base, each tuned for a different fish type — Goldfish, Betta, Shrimp, Bottom Feeder, Colour Enhancing and Spirulina versions exist alongside it, across flake, granule, micro-granule, pellet and stick formats depending on the formula.
