Fluval Bug Bites Betta Fish Food

Fluval Bug Bites Betta Fish Food is a daily staple with an insect-first recipe, sold in a 1.05 Oz. container (model A6575). Black Soldier Fly Larvae make up to 40% of the formula and are listed as the first ingredient.

Why insects for bettas

Wild bettas live in shallow, still water and feed heavily on insects and larvae that land on or fall into the water. An insect-based food is closer to that natural diet than recipes built on fish meal and wheat. Many bettas that are fussy with pellets take to it readily.

Protein and fatty acids

Alongside the larvae, Fluval adds whole salmon, which brings Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Fluval links these to healthy skin, scales and fins, which matters for long-finned bettas prone to fin damage. The food is fortified with essential vitamins, amino acids and minerals for a balanced daily diet.

Micro granules

The granules are tiny (0.25-1.0mm) and sink slowly. That lets a betta take food at the surface or as it drifts down, and the small size suits young bettas as well as adults.

Feeding guide

• Feed two or three times daily.
• Give as much as your fish can eat in two minutes.
• Use a pinch of granules rather than counting pellets.
• Siphon or pipette any granules that reach the bottom uneaten.

Freshness

Fluval processes the food in small batches for quality control and freshness. Keep the lid tight and store it out of heat and sunlight.

Who it suits

Betta keepers who want a natural-style staple, especially for picky fish. Rotate it with a floating pellet like TetraBetta PLUS mini pellets or a shrimp food like Ultra Fresh Betta Pro for variety. Because the granules are so small, it is easy to overfeed; a small pinch is enough for one betta, and a weekly fast day helps prevent bloating.
