What sized Chunx are best for me?
🐟 Micro – Dust-sized goodness (60–300 µm). Perfect for nano predators and delicate fry that peck, graze, and hover.
🐠 Mini – Bite-sized bits (0.5–1 mm). Best for fish up to ~3 cm — think rams, kribs, apistos, corydoras and native blue-eyes.
🐡 Midi – Chunkier grazers (1–3 mm). For fish with a real appetite, up to ~10 cm — discus, gourami, rainbows, and other chunky hunters.

FAQ
Can Insecti-chunx™ cloud my water?
Nope. Insecti-chunx™ are designed to sink slowly and hold their shape while being chewed. Fed correctly, they won’t dissolve into sludge. If you see cloudiness, it’s usually just a case of too much food — scale back the portion.
Are Insecti-chunx™ safe for community tanks (shrimp, snails, catfish)?
Yes! Insecti-chunx™ are insectivore-focused but balanced enough that most tankmates can graze safely. Shrimp, snails, Corydoras, and even “carnivore” plecos will happily join in — though it’s not intended as a staple diet for every species. If you’re unsure, drop us a line for tank-specific advice.
HELP! I accidentally overfed Insecti-chunx™!
Relax. Insecti-chunx™ don’t dissolve instantly, so you’ve got time. Net out any leftovers, do a partial water change, and keep an eye on water quality. Lesson learned: your fish probably aren’t that hungry.
Why are your insects superior to bloodworms — aren’t worms healthy too?
Fun fact: “bloodworms” aren’t worms at all — they’re fly larvae. And not even the good ones at that. Compared to BSFL, they’re mostly just water and tough chitin, which makes them more like fish candy than a proper meal. Fine for the odd treat, but not in the same league as whole insects.
Insecti-chunx™ uses crickets, BSFL, and Aussie wood roaches. That means complete protein, essential fatty acids, minerals, and a forest-floor umami that fish actually thrive on. Your $200 discus saucers and delicate rams get clean-burning energy for growth and colour — without the bloat or parasite risks that come with frozen bloodworm binges.
Basically: bugs for dinner, bloodworms for dessert.
