## Overview

Fluval Bug Bites Bottom Feeder Fish Food is a premium, insect-based granule formula designed specifically for small to medium bottom-feeding fish. Featuring 40% nutrient-dense Black Soldier Fly Larvae as the primary ingredient, it delivers high-quality proteins including whole salmon rich in Omega 3 and 6. The 1.4-1.6mm sinking pellets ensure targeted feeding, while essential vitamins and minerals promote overall fish health. Made in Canada in small batches without artificial additives, Bug Bites offers sustainable, fresh, and balanced nutrition that bottom feeders instinctively crave.

## Description

Fluval Bug Bites is a complete fish food that features a unique insect-based formulation, enriched with multiple quality proteins and carbohydrates that are ideal for bottom feeders. 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.

Review: Good food! - I bought this specifically for my Corydora Catfish. The pieces are small enough for them to eat just fine. It sinks pretty fast. I have a Betta fish that loves to get some during feeding time. Shrimp also love this too. I like that it isn't dyed to look pretty and looks like more natural food. The fish love it and that's what matters! Very easy to use it with the wide top on the container. Will definitely buy again.
Review: Good fish food - Good quality ingredients. Good value. Easy to feed my fish. Good color on the pellets and helps my fish stay healthy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these a balanced diet for corydoras?**
A: More for plecos then Corydoras

**Q: They won't tell ingredients on any site, even their own.  Anyone have them?**
A: Ingredients: Black Soldier Fly Larvae, Salmon, Wheat, Green Peas, Potato, Dicalcium Phosphate, Alfalfa Nutrient Concentrate, Calcium Carbonate, DL-Methionine, Lecithin, Choline Chloride, L-Lysine, Vitamin E Supplement, Biotin, Niacin, Calcium L-Ascorbyl-2-Monophosphate, Marigold Extract, Zinc Oxide, Manganous Oxide, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Beta-Carotene, Rosemary Extract, Riboflavin, Copper Sulfate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Inositol, Folic Acid, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin D3 Supplement.

This should be correct.  I got it off a bottle in the store.  Problem is you have to peel the label back to read the ingredients.  I suspect that is why finding this info has been a bit difficult.

**Q: Are these ok to use with frogs?**
A: Yes they will love it

**Q: Does bug bites bottom feeder formula contain vitamin d3 or copper?**
A: Hi There,

This product does contain Vitamin D3 Supplement and copper sulfate. For a full list of ingredients please visit the Fluval Aquatics website.

Thank you,

Good quality ingredients. Good value. Easy to feed my fish. Good color on the pellets and helps my fish stay healthy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Bottom Feeders Love These Granules
*by S***S on March 18, 2026*

Bug Bites worked exactly as I hoped for my bottom feeders, including loaches, albino sharks, and plecos. The granules sink very quickly, and the angel fish do not get to them first. My bottom feeders clearly love them and eat them right away. Funny side note: I accidentally dropped the bottle and spilled some on the floor, got distracted by a phone call, and when I came back, my Boston Terrier had eaten all of them too — apparently they were a hit with everyone in the house. I would definitely buy these again.
