Alison Lawrence –
My plecos have been eating Bug Bites regularly for two months now. They seem more active and their skin looks healthier. The black soldier fly larvae are a great source of protein and the fish don’t seem to struggle with digestion. I appreciate the natural ingredients and the fiber content that mimics their natural diet.

I switched from a commercial pellet to Bug Bites and noticed a difference in my plecos’ appetite and color. The texture is good and they enjoy it. The high protein content seems to support their growth, though I do need to feed it in smaller portions due to the fiber content.

This food has been a game-changer for my ancient plecos. They eat it eagerly and seem to have better skin condition. The inclusion of whole salmon provides essential fatty acids that support their overall health. I’ve seen fewer signs of fin rot since switching.
