popular feeder animal
for reptiles and amphibians
larger than the migratory locust
subadult
The desert locust is one of the largest commercially bred feeder animals. Females reach a total length with wings of over 75 mm in some cases. Males usually remain somewhat smaller. Therefore, desert locusts are up to 30% larger than, for example, the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria). The animals are coloured pink-grey after their final moult. In the following 6-10 days, the colouring, especially of the males, changes to a strong yellow. However, the animals show their most attractive colouring and patterns during the juvenile and subadult stages. Here, the animals are also coloured lemon yellow with a black pattern. This very colouring stimulates the prey drive in many reptile species, which makes the desert locust particularly popular among many terrarium keepers.Unfortunately, the desert locust is not as productive as the migratory locust and rearing the animals takes up to 2/3 longer. On the other hand, it can be bred almost all year round, as it does not have any particularly high requirements for special food types.As a feeder insect, the desert locust is also excellent because it usually survives shipping unharmed, even in extreme heat and cold, and can survive up to 2 weeks after shipping without additional food.Desert locusts are generally readily accepted by all lizards. Experience has shown that they are particularly popular with large lizards such as bearded dragons, water dragons, basilisks, monitor lizards, frilled lizards etc. They are especially popular with many species of chameleon, as they are particularly attracted to the yellow colouring of the juvenile and subadult animals.

JBL PRONOVO BEL FLAKES BABY
Flake food for young fish in aquarium complete nutrition, optimal growth and beautiful colors thanks to Artemia crustaceans. Dust food for fry of all aquarium fishes.Nutritious and easily digestible: ideal nutrient composition for all baby aquarium fish from 5 to 10 mm in size No
water turbidity: Reduced algae growth due to adjusted phosphate
content, better water quality due to improved digestibility of the food,
reducing fish excretion Natural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy aquarium fish Scope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and light-proof, recyclable tin with dosing lid as feeding aid The
composition of the ideal growth food for young fish depends on many
factors. The young fish are growing and need important nutrients for
development. Vital vitamins and the bioelement inositol are needed to
strengthen the immune system. With young fish it is essential that the
food size fits the mouth size. It is better to feed a feed that is too
small than a feed that is too large! The appropriate phosphate content
of the feed is essential for healthy bone formation. Too little
phosphate and calcium will lead to bone deformities.
When the young fish are large enough, supplementation with live Artemia
(brine shrimp) is ideal. JBL offers a complete program for this = JBL
Artemio.In the case of fry, a distinction is made between the
fry of egg-laying and live-bearing species. After hatching, the young
fish of egg-laying species are considerably smaller and first feed on
infusoria (microorganisms) which they find in their environment. Many
species then also accept liquid food (JBL PRONOVO BEL FLUID). Shortly
afterwards they accept fine dust food (JBL PRONOVO BEL BABY TOM or the
dust food from the first tin of the JBL PRONOVO BABY set). As soon as
they have grown again a little, you can change to the 2nd can of JBL
PRONOVO BABY. If the parents are brooders (e.g. cichlids), a long
pipette or a piece of hose helps to bring the food dissolved in water
specifically to the young fish.
In the case of egg-laying or even mouth-breeding species, the young fish
are larger and immediately eat the food from the second can of JBL
PRONOVO BABY and live Artemia (JBL Artemio System). A
head start through research
Results of JBL research expeditions, together with the knowledge of the
JBL research and development team, resulted in optimal, balanced food
mixtures made from high-quality ingredients.

Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropicsVery high acceptance even by fussy fish species due to high-quality raw materials such as salmon, squid, shrimps and garlicWith the very high-quality natural astaxanthin from krill and spirulina, which ensures perfect colour formation in ornamental fishScope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with click-doser as feeding aid or 20 g in a fresh bagIn community aquariums with different species of fish, the ornamental fish kept will also have different requirements for the fish food. JBL PRONOVO BEL takes into account the different types of food and offers your fish a great variety and diversity for a natural and healthy diet. If you would like to perfect the food supply, you can supplement the main food JBL PRONOVO BEL with other food types from the JBL species concept as well as treats.The biological species concept for ornamental fish:In addition to a staple food such as JBL PRONOVO BEL for community aquariums, the JBL PRONOVO species concept is available to your fish. Within the species concept you can supplement food specifically for fish species or also choose instead of the main food. It is not a problem if, for example, your fighting fish also eats the food for your barbs and vice versa. It is only important that you offer the appropriate food for each group of fish. Variety is always positive!Would you, for example, like to feed your neon or armoured catfish exactly the right food? No problem: in the JBL species concept you will find a granulate for neon tetras (and other small tetras) which is suitable for mouths and whose composition is precisely adapted to the needs of the fish, including insects: JBL PRONOVO NEON. In their natural habitats in South America, neon tetras live in very nutrient-poor black water biotopes and depend on small, mouth-friendly plankton. Corydoras, on the other hand, live on the bottom and have a different food spectrum. JBL PRONOVO CORYDORAS (Corydoras = scientific name of the armoured catfish species) therefore contains suitable raw materials such as shrimps and spirulina. The armoured catfish need a varied diet for a healthy diet. The shrimps are representative of all the small animal organisms and also carrion, which the armoured catfish feel on the ground with their barbels.

Only a male of the same species is fought to the death - hence the name! The beautiful, long-finned fighting fish in our pet shops are descended from the species Betta splendens, which is also popular for fish fights in Asia. Fighting fish and many other labyrinth fish (gouramis, gourami & macropods) live in both standing and flowing water. They are ambush hunters, quickly darting out with their overhead mouth to eat, for example, an insect that had landed on the water surface. They do not eat any aquarium plants and do not need much space. If you want to keep females as well as a male, you should definitely add several females. A single female would be too crowded. The best-known fighting fish species build foam nests on the water surface, which are guarded by the male. Other species of fighting fish are mouth brooders that incubate their eggs in the mouth until the young hatch and are large enough to stand on their own legs or fins. Water values are not really crucial for fighting fish. They prefer soft water and pH values between 6.5 and 7.5, but can also cope with other values. When feeding, it is important that the composition is adapted to their natural diet. JBL PRONOVO BETTA in flake or granulate form provides the basic nutrition. JBL PRONOVO BETTA INSECT is designed as a supplement to offer the animals variety. All three JBL fighting fish foods contain astaxanthin, which gives the fish a strong colour. It is a natural carotene obtained from krill and spirulina. With a few floating plants and a "weedy" aquarium setup, they feel at ease.

Immune protection for fish
VIP Concept – the best natural protection for your fantastic fish The immune system of the fish can be supported, for example, by adding beta-glucans (yeast extracts) – this reduces the fish's susceptibility to diseases, the fish live healthier and their life expectancy increases. Body colours can be enhanced by adding certain plants whose secondary ingredients also have a positive effect on the fish's entire metabolism. The well-known long-chain and unsaturated omega-3 and 6 fatty acids have a particularly positive effect on the cell membranes of nerve cells, the heart and the circulatory system. They must be ingested as essential fatty acids with plant and animal food and are present in sera food. With vitamins, which act as a catalyst in the metabolism of the fish and which we mix specially for the application, we achieve better results than with ready-made mixtures, which are the basis for feed types from other manufacturers.Instructions for useFeed sparingly several times a day, only as much as the animals can consume in a short time.

Released waxworms (Galleria mellonella)
For reptiles, amphibians, birds or as fishing bait
The caterpillars are usually fed to reptiles, amphibians and birds. However, the waxworm is also becoming increasingly important as fishing bait.
As a treat
For reptiles, amphibians and birds
also as fishing bait
Waxworms were originally known to beekeepers as a pest in beehives. There the larvae of the moth feed on honey. In commercial breeding, the larvae are reared on a feed mash consisting mainly of wheat bran and honey. The caterpillars are usually fed to reptiles, amphibians and birds. However, the waxworm is also becoming increasingly important as fishing bait. The waxworms are offered in 2 different forms: As breeding stock or in released form. The breeding stock offers the advantage that younger waxworms can also be fed, which are significantly smaller than the adult animals. Due to the feed, the caterpillars must taste sweet, which makes the insects very popular with eaters. Waxworms in breeding stocks should, depending on how quickly the animals are to grow, be kept at around 20 to 30 degrees C. The released waxworms should be stored in the refrigerator at about 6-10 degrees C. In this state, the animals no longer take in food.We obtain these waxworms from a breeder for fishing bait. Substances may possibly have been used in the rearing of the worms that can affect the pupation of the animals.
