Fluval’s Flakes for Freshwater Fish mimic the diets of many wild freshwater species by including bloodworms – larvae of midge flies that serve as natural prey – as an ingredient rich in beta carotene and other color boosting components, easily digested, reducing waste, and providing cleaner waters.
