Fluval Bug Bites Betta Fish Food, 1.05 Oz. | Granules for Small to Medium Sized Fish

Bought this because this appeared the healthiest compared to other fish foods. If you're in the hobby you'd know fluval bug bites have a good reputation. My betta was tiny initially, and half of it was in his mouth. Now he can eat it easily. But from what I recognize, if you have a small fish, it might be hard to bite initially. You must wait for it to soften up in the water, which shouldn't take too long. But it sinks, which is a good thing, because it looks like my fish hurts himself going in circles when the water moves it around just for a tiny pellet.Great protein regardless though! But I can get a three pack at my LFS for 10$, so I felt scammed. Wish I found out earlier.

My betta does not like pellet food. We were getting worried so bought this and she absolutely loves it. It doesn’t all float, which can be tricky. I end up waiting until I know she is looking and tap about four pieces in so she can hopefully catch the one that inevitably sinks immediately and then come back for the other pieces, and then I repeat the process until she is done. This takes patience, but that’s okay for us.

Very palatable to my betta fish. Easy to feed to them. They hit it hard and demand more, so they must love the taste. I'm very pleased with the quality of ingredients, and have been happy with fluval products overall.

I’ve kept and fed many bettas over the years, and this is one of the best widely available pellet foods I’ve consistently used.The granules are an appropriate size for bettas and are very well accepted. I use this as a staple food and rotate it with frozen bloodworms and frozen brine shrimp to provide dietary variety. I also occasionally add liquid fish vitamins when preparing food to support overall health.One important feeding note: I recommend soaking the pellets for about 5-10 minutes before feeding. This helps prevent the pellets from expanding after ingestion and can reduce the risk of bloating or swim bladder issues, which bettas are prone to.Across multiple fish and setups, this food has supported good appetite, coloration, and activity levels. I reorder it regularly and consider it a dependable option for betta owners who want a higher-quality pellet that’s easy to source without specialty ordering.Best for: Betta keepers looking for a consistent, protein-forward pellet that works well as part of a varied feeding routine.

I bought this in July 2023 when my old man wasn't eating his Aqueon Betta Pellets. Those pellets are MASSIVE for bettas. They were going to expire in August, so I had seen reviews on this food. I bought it and since my old man was partially blind (diamond eye), I had bought a pack of pipettes too. He loved these, even tho he couldn't see! Prior to buying this, I bought the Omega-One Betta Buffet Pellets, which are affordable + quality! He loves both + I now have a set feeding station for him to get to easily! He refused the Aqueon and now I can never go back to the cheap foods.My rescue GloBetta is also half-blind; missing eye. She is in a temporary setup, and I also plan to get her a feeding station too! She's been raised on the awful GloBetta Formula Pellets which smell like Play-Doh and look grossly yellow. She seems like she likes it, but I'll test that soon.On the other hand, my shrimp is the best biased audience for this product. If they could write reviews, it'd be a hundred 5 stars. SMH, I give them their own individual pellets with Omega-Ones, and they love both. 💀 They literally reach for them and snatch it like I'll take it back. They're so cuteThese are kind of sharp, so I'd recommend pre-soaking or crushing the sharper edges. The pellets has a lot of different sizes and sometimes they'll all fall out with smaller pellets or get clogged with the bigger pellets. I'd shake them up every so often.Overall, I would buy again if I run out! Really good quality + if you can afford it, do it! The bettas and shrimps will love these!

My Betta eats this stuff up like candy. Im new to Bettas, so I have been feeding him while getting his attention at the same time. The quality seems great, better than bloodworms. Gumpert eats this stuff up with ease and hope he remains healthy! I have tried bloodworms, fancy guppy, new life spectrum betta, and he prefers this over anything. Good stuff!

This food is my go to. Bite sized for small fish and keeps them happy. Prevents too much gulping of air at top of tank. Sinking food

My picky betta loves this stuff. The ingredients are great. Some float and the bigger pieces sink but he dives right for them. Even the bigger pieces are still easy for him to eat unlike other brands of pellets (he would spit them out because they were too big). None go to waste. The lid is nice as it only allows a small amount to come out per shake, perfect amount per feeding. My guys color seems to have brightened to a beautiful red from a more dull red. I have one betta and some rasbora (separate tanks) and I feed them all this food. This bottle might last forever. Great price for plenty of food! I use Fluval Bug Bites for all of my fish in all of my tanks now.

This best carnivorous food available for betta... Clearly seeing diffrence...

A healthy feed for bettas without the risk of infection and great nutritional value.

Bought as a replacement to another brand, but these sink very quickly

My betta looks healthy.The pellet is not slow sinking, It's actually very fast sinking.When I add more than 2 to 3 pellets at the same time, atleast one pellet sinks too quickly and gets under the gravel and my betta never finds it.

Product is good be its almost double the actual price not expected from amazon
