Fluval Bug Bites Spirulina Flakes lead with spirulina, then mealworm meal, then dried black soldier fly larvae, with cauliflower, spinach, garlic and carrot behind them. That makes it the vegetable-leaning flake in the range and the lowest in protein at a minimum 37% — if you specifically want the insect-first recipe, the Tropical flake is the one.
Sold here in 18 g, 45 g and 180 g packs. For a higher-protein insect-led staple in the same tank, see Fluval Bug Bites Tropical Fish Flakes.
