Today I’m going to give an honest review on the newly popular Fluval bug bites. I’m going to cover price to quality ratio as well as nutrition, how fish react and which fish benefit from this food.
Fluval bug bites popular amongst many YouTube personalities and advertised in many aquarium magazines, they come in many “medleys” which I’d assume are favored by several different species. I have only tried the “tropical medley” and I can advocate for it as the quality of the food is good. This food can be a bit on the expensive side costing about $5-$7 but this is countered by the larger container size. I do like that the ingredients include many vitamins and proteins which are good for carnivorous fish species. The food is nutritious and the fish also do find it delicious. The food has a pungent smell which may bother some but is more enticing for fish. I can recommend this food specifically for bettas, tetras, and other small tropical, carnivorous fish, this is because the Fluval bug bite are so small that they can be fed more often and accurately allowing you to give your fish less and a time, in turn helping prevent swim bladder diseases and over feeding. These pellets do sink which you may or may not like. These pellets also don’t expand in water so they are good for smaller fish. One issue I do have with this food is that is limited to smaller fish because of its very tiny size, in the future I think the formula should be created with slightly different ingredients in order to suit more medium sized fish and community tanks. My overall rating is a 8/10 being good but I don’t think bug bites could be a fishes only source of food.
