Fish-Free, Insect-Based Nutrition for Vibrant Tropical Fish

Aqueon Nutrinsect Tropical Flakes is a cutting-edge, fish-free tropical fish food formulated with sustainably sourced insect protein, specifically black soldier fly larvae, as its primary protein source. Designed to meet the dietary needs of tropical freshwater fish like tetras, guppies, mollies, angelfish, and bettas, this flake-based formula promotes optimal health, brilliant color, and cleaner aquarium conditions.

Unlike traditional fish foods made with fish meal and by-products, Aqueon Nutrinsect is completely fish-free, making it an eco-conscious and allergy-friendly choice. Its high digestibility and nutrient-rich profile result in less waste, supporting healthier fish and a more balanced aquatic environment.

What Are the Benefits of Aqueon Nutrinsect Tropical Flakes?

  4. Enhanced Palatability & Color Support: Natural ingredients encourage strong appetite response. Fortified with color-enhancing nutrients like spirulina and algae meal.
