Black Soldier Larva
Hallofeed Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) is a high-protein, eco-friendly superfood designed specifically for carnivorous and omnivorous fish. Often used as a superior alternative to mealworms, these whole dried larvae are a "natural prey" food that triggers strong feeding instincts in large ornamental fish like Arowanas, Oscars, and Flowerhorns.
Key Benefits
-
High-Quality Protein: With a crude protein content of approximately 42%–45%, it supports rapid muscle growth and tissue repair.
-
Rich in Calcium: Unlike many other insect-based foods, Black Soldier Fly Larvae are naturally high in calcium (approx. 6%), which is vital for strong bone structure and skeletal health.
-
Immune System Support: Contains Lauric Acid (a beneficial fatty acid) and antimicrobial peptides that help strengthen the fish's natural defenses against diseases.
-
Highly Digestible: Because it is a natural food source, it is easily broken down by the fish’s digestive system, leading to better nutrient absorption and less waste in your tank.
-
Sustainable Choice: Known as an "eco-protein," BSFL is one of the most environmentally friendly fish food options available today.4
