Fluval Bug Bites Pellets for Medium/Large Cichlids

My large cichlids have been eating Bug Bites regularly for three months. They seem more vibrant and their fins are healthier than before. The pellets are easy to feed and the fish show interest in them immediately.

I switched from flakes to Bug Bites after reading about the high protein content. My fish are more active and seem to have better coloration. The texture is good and they don’t waste much food.
