He did seem to like the bug bites better than the cichlid gold.

The bug bites are more expensive so they're possibly higher quality.

DMD123 DMD123 , I might have missed the post, but what did you think of the Bug Bites pellets? I looked at them at the store and noticed the first ingredients were solider fly larvae and salmon.
The fish took to it very quickly. It must be an extremely palatable product because just about everything that tried it did end up eating it. I did not look into it as a long term food but could see this as a good food for a new finicky eater. RD did mention it was a high fat food compared to some, so that made me rethink it as a staple.

The bug bites pleco stick worked well for the bottom feeders like polys.
Ageed its been my go to lately. My fish seem to all love it. The cichlid pellets float so only the butterfly and cteno will eat them. The color enhancing are tiny but everyone seems to like those too. Good thing as these dont stink up the house like the hikari carnivore pellets do.
Still looking for a good staple that will sink asap and not be to hard that both polys and ropes will be able to eat without stinking the place up and creating a huge mess in the tank. Not asking for much am I?

I saw one of the more serious chichla keepers on here do a video on trying it with his bass. He seemed to really like how it didn’t dissolve in the water and the fish were smashing it hard. I think it was tcav88 tcav88 i may be wrong tho. Not sure how the long term went for him.

I have tried their algae pellets because of that video and all my veggie eaters go bananas for them. So I would imagine the carni versions would be similar.
