Built around insect meal rather than conventional fish meal, it closely mirrors the natural insect-based diet these species consume in the wild — making it a practical choice for discus, angelfish, cichlids, barbs, catfish, and loach keepers who want to feed with intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInsect Meal Foundation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lead protein source is insect meal, chosen for its digestibility and its more sustainable production footprint compared to wild-caught fish meal.
