Fluval Bug Bites Colour Enhancing Flakes are the same insect-first flake format as the Tropical formula, with shrimp meal, carrot extract, marigold extract and Haematococcus algae added for pigment. Crude protein is a minimum 46%. It is a colour-support diet, not a colour transplant — Fluval publishes no timeframe for visible change, and results depend on the fish you already have.
Packs are 18 g, 45 g, 90 g and 180 g. If your fish are already eating Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Fish Flakes, treat this as a swap rather than an extra feed.
