Fluval Bug Bites

[Trimapit]

Has anyone used this yet?

I know a few people have.

Personally I'd like to try this, my fish would benefit from it since a few are naturally eating insects for the bulk of their diet.

I bought the bottom feeder formula, my cichlids and bichir went ape-**** for it

I had brought it up in the poly section a while back:

Was also discussed here in the cichlid section:

The thing I can say for it is that it is a readily accepted food by my fish. I do not use it regularly but more of a treat thing.

I like the fact it has the bug protein. But also i like the peas in it . should help keep fish regular and cleaned out. I might try it on some Haitiensis growouts.

It's just higher in fat then a lot of foods

Maybe good as part of the diet but not the staple

Can you elaborate? I use this food all the time as I prefer the bug protein which I thought was a more natural diet for many of my fish who are insectivores in nature. Are there any drawbacks that should prompt me to use it as a treat instead of a staple?

Oh ya my trimac loves he is still small but will go around and put 5 of those in his mouth. Its crazy he hoards it from other fish.

It also puts a greasy substance on top of the water. U can see the oils in it but they love it as a snack
