    5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a food that fish love.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024
    Considering the cost, this food seems to be what my fish crave. And, it is eaten right away so there is no chance for it to cloud the water. It seems to be a healthy alternative to flake food.

    This is a refill of a quality product! I’ve refilled it many times since it first appeared at my local fish stores. I think I’ve even bought it online. The fish seem to love it. I grind it between my fingers for the little fish. I’ve never tasted it, so I can’t comment on its taste.

    All the babies love and go crazy for the bug bites. This is my 2nd purchase and I will keep buying it.

    These granular bits may float for a very short while if they are the smaller bits before sinking. The ingredients are are good for nutritional health and have no funny colors.
    Between my 2 aquariums (I've been fish keeping for more than 20 years) the one container lasted longer than I expected with several feedings of my rainbow, angel, killi, tetras, Cory's, dwarf frogs, snails and a beta fish.
    I wasn't expecting this 1.6 Oz bottle to last this long. It did last and it was an excellent price considering I ran out of a different brand of fish food that was cheaper for a jar 2½ times the size of this fluval jar.
    You won't need to feed your fish a lot of this bottom feeder food since it is actually made of food & not fillers.
    I really like the Fluval brand overall and have recently started adding their fish foods to my mix of other foods I keep on rotation for my fish babies.

    my bottom dwellers freak out for this. I occasionally sprinkle some in and my khuli loaches will often come out of hiding just to get some. Keep in mind you probably don't need to use this that often if you are doing other feeding for fish, since they will eat the leftovers. but its a nice treat every now and then just for them.

    We had a couple batches of unexpected cory catfish fry and this is what I ordered for them to eat. I now use it in all tanks. The Cory LOVE it and it doesn't contaminate the tank.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spotted raphael loves these! My cories & loaches love Bug Bites too
    Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2024
    Bug bites bottom feeders: my spotted Raphael loves these! The only time I see him out of his cave is for bug bites or hikari sinking carnivore pellets, (he doesn’t even come out of his cave for bloodworms or brine shrimp!). My kuhli loaches, pepper cories, and hoplisoma pandas all love bug bites too. However they seem to prefer the tropical variety, the smaller granules, which makes sense with them being smaller fish, easier to fit in their mouth. I’m sure if the bottom feeder granules had time to sit in the water and soften up, my smaller fish would go for them, but the spotted Raphael usually inhales all the bottom feeder granules as soon as they hit the bottom.

    This food doesn’t cloud up my water or leave a mess, but then again, it doesn’t have the chance to, gets eaten up real quick.
    From my experience in feeding these, they do sink pretty quick (which is what I wanted).
