Protein is not just from fly larvae, they also include some form of salmon, fish protein concentrate, and peas. I would have preferred to not see terrestrial plant matter (peas) being utilized as protein (might as well be soybeans), or fish protein concentrate, and would have preferred to see a LOT more fly larvae meal.

In 2019, due to popular demand, Fluval released Bug Bites as a flake, available in a variety of formulations for health, colour and vitality. Perfecting the process for the planetThe outcome of this unique production process is a delicious, healthy recipe that fish simply cannot get enough of! Why choose Bug Bites? Guppies are fun and colorful fish that are suitable for beginners and experienced aquarists. They come in two basic types, male and female. Females are larger and rounder than males, and have a rounded tail with a triangular or fan shape. The males, on the other hand, are more streamlined and have a colorful tail. Fluval source ingredients locally and have them delivered immediately before production resulting in Bug Bites being as fresh as it possibly can be. Bottom feeders require more fiber and this is why wheat as the top ingredient makes this variant a fiber-rich formula. Bug Bites is available in five different formulas; Tropical for small and medium/large fish, Colour Enhancing, Cichlid, Bottom Feeder and Goldfish.

This food isn't exactly new, it's been on the market for over a year. I started feed trials with it last year. Probably just took a while to reach parts of the USA. The product is manufactured in small batches for maximum quality control and to preserve the freshness. Both the variants are available in 45g quantity. If combined (peas/potato/wheat) the inclusion rate of terrestrial based plant matter in this formula might be alarming.

Being highly palatable and comprised of clean ingredients, with no added artificial fillers, colours or preservatives, Bug Bites are easily digested, resulting in less waste and therefore a cleaner aquarium. It also contains other proteins in the form of salmon, which is a rich source of fatty acids. Complex amino acids are found in concentrated protein.

The product is also suitable for shrimps and other tropical fish. It is created using sustainable methods

Potato - why? If the company was more specific one would know, but without further details it could be used as another terrestrial based protein (potato protein concentrate) or as a binding agent (potato starch). Who knows? Either way, no thanks to feeding potatoes to carnivores - the wheat in this formula should suffice as a binding agent. Now, “Bug Bites” is divided into four different categories to cover the most popular tropical fish. The four types are Tropical, Cichlid, Goldfish and Bottom Feeder.
