Australian Sourced - Sourced from Australian suppliers!
No BS - Nothing but 100% dried black soldier fly larvae (BSFL).
Natural Source of Macro and Micronutrients - Naturally high in protein and fats - plus packed full of bioactive compounds, essential amino acids and natural vitamins and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.
Easily Digestible - Insects are relatively low in fibre and anti-nutritional compounds making them easily digestible to fish.
Sustainable Protein Source - Raised on food scraps, farmed insects are a sustainable protein source to help aleviate the reliance on depleting wild fish stocks.
Backed by Scientific Literature - Insects have been reported to improve fish health, growth rates and feed utilisation. While the bioactive chitin can improve the immune response and reduce disease susceptibility in fish being a natural antimicrobial.
Naturally Low in Carbohydrates - Fish have no dietary requirement for carbohydrates and is not efficiently utilised by fish. Approx. 50-80%* of total carbohydrate in food is wasted.
Perfect for - insectivore fish species, reptiles, birds and poultry.

Feeding Instructions - Only feed what your fish / pet can consume in 1-2 minutes. Remove any uneaten insects after feeding. Insects will degrade your water parameters if left uneaten.
Rehydrate insects by soaking in water prior to feeding. Insects are designed as a treat only. It is not recommended to use as their only source of food.
Storage - Store insects in an airtight container, away from moisture, sunlight and excessive temperatures. Best before: 6 months from purchase. If optimal conditions are met, insects may last up to a year, but potency of vitamins / minerals and nutritional value may degrade after 6 months.
Feed Selection - We recommend selecting foods of similar size and attributes (floating / sinking) to your current fish’s diet. Diet changes, and weaning fish onto new foods may take up to a month. Use the 90% (old diet) to 10% (new diet) ratio to introduce new foods – gradually change the ratio per week by 10%.
