For today’s review, I check out another Fluval Bug Bites product and this one is formulated for those who own shrimp.
Fluval is really going all out in creating fish or shrimp food utilizing Black Soldier Fly larvae and salmon and what’s even better, they are able to sell these high quality food for fish and shrimp at an inexpensive price. In this case, for under $6.
According to Fluval:
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 shrimp. As shrimp are an invertebrate (without a spine), the exoskeleton serves to protect its body. For this reason, this formula is enriched with both vitamin D3 and calcium.
A high concentration of Black Soldier Fly Larvae and Salmon (#1 and #2 ingredients) also ensure an enhanced growth rate and superior condition. 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.
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 offers maximum freshness, which translates into better palatability.
The product is created for shrimp in mind.
For one, while the description shows as granules, these are actually mico-granule size under 0.14 cm and these are slow sinking.
The Fluval Bug Bites Shrimp Formula is recommended!
