Our Story
The Tradition of Wish-Making
The idea of wish-making goes back thousands of years. Finding safe drinking water was difficult, and so many early civilizations believed it was a gift from the gods. These ancient people would toss in a token while sending up a prayer for things like clean water, safety, and rain for crops—an early version of making a wish.
WishBites To The Rescue
Fast forward to today: Most of the civilized world has clean drinking water, but wish-making and throwing tokens into water remains. What people don’t realize is that this continually introduces a wide range of contaminants into our aquatic environments, causing unsafe levels of copper and zinc toxicity.
We knew we had to do something. And so we created WishBites to preserve a beautiful tradition without harming the beauty of marine life. WishBites are a fun alternative to throwing coins or sentimental objects into bodies of water.
WishBite’s Mission
We’re dedicated to saving and preserving aquatic life one wish at a time. A percentage of our proceeds are donated annually to projects that help revitalize reef habitats and contribute to the preservation of our marine ecosystems.
Join the WishBite Cause
We hope everyone will join us on our mission to protect our waters and use WishBites instead of toxic wish-making items. Let’s work together to help stop the poisoning of our waters and save the life within them!
Product Details
Product Details
WishBites are the only eco-friendly way to make a wish while also preserving the well-being of marine ecosystems.
Made in the USA, WishBites are crafted with high-quality feed products, consisting primarily of brine shrimp flake and a bicarbonate binding compound. As the pellet dissolves in water, it slowly releases feed and carbon dioxide into the water, which is essential for plant and phytoplank- ton growth.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
Our packaging is 100% biodegradable—right down to the poly bag, which is water-soluble. If a poly bag accidentally makes it way to the water, rest assured that the bag will fully dissolve in a short amount of time. (The poly bags do not contain any toxins that are harmful to our Earth or its inhabitants.)
WishBites Help Protect Fish, Animals, & People
All species of aquatic life are continuing to suffer due to high concentrations of metals in our waters. These metals can be mistaken for food and absorbed through the gills, contributing to the rise of toxicity concentrations in the fish cells which can often lead to death.
WishBites have a positive impact on more than just marine ecosystems. They are safe for freshwater and saltwater marine life, as well as non-marine animals, too. On top of all that, they also prevent water contamination that can be harmful to humans—WishBites are a win-win!
