Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Granules 1.6 oz are insect-based slow-sinking granules made for tropical freshwater fish and community aquariums. This formula uses Black Soldier Fly larvae as a main ingredient and can be used as part of a regular feeding routine for many small to medium freshwater fish.

Feeding Instructions
Feed 1–2 times daily, offering only what fish can consume within a few minutes. Adjust the amount based on fish size, stocking level, activity, and aquarium conditions.
Remove uneaten food as needed to help maintain water quality. Overfeeding can contribute to cloudy water, algae growth, and water quality problems, especially in smaller or heavily stocked aquariums.
Feeding Tips
- Feed small portions to avoid leftover food buildup
- Choose granule size based on fish mouth size
- Watch feeding response to make sure the intended fish are eating
- Use sinking foods for bottom feeders that may need a different diet
- Rotate with other foods based on the species being kept
- Store food sealed in a cool, dry place
Community Aquarium Feeding Notes
Community aquariums often include fish with different feeding behaviors. Slow-sinking granules may work well for many mid-water fish, while bottom feeders such as Corydoras, plecos, and loaches usually need sinking foods made for bottom feeding.
For best results, choose foods based on fish size, species, mouth shape, and dietary needs. A varied feeding routine can help meet the needs of mixed freshwater aquariums.
