Live and frozen fish food: Live and frozen foods such as Artemia, mosquito larvae and krill are often an excellent addition to your fish's diet as they provide natural nutrition and can encourage hunting instincts.
Fish food is available in various forms, such as flakes, granules, or tablets.
These different forms offer various options for feeding different types and sizes of fish.
Flakes are good for smaller fish and can be easily distributed in the water.
Granules are often more versatile and can be adapted to different fish species depending on the size of the pellets.
Tablets are compact and are particularly suitable for bottom-feeding fish such as catfish or loaches.
It is important to adapt the food to the needs of the fish and to ensure a balanced diet. JBL Pro Novo offers a wide range of foods for many fish species, such as neon, killifish, Malawian perch, Corydoras etc.
- Feed the fish according to their species - not every fish needs the same food. That is why JBL, for example, also offers food that is suitable for the fish species.
- Choose the feeding method according to the feeding habits of the fish.
- Bottom fish or surface fish do not eat the same food.
- Offer a varied diet of flakes, granules and live food.
- Feed in small portions that can be eaten in a few minutes to avoid overfeeding.
- Feed once or twice a day, depending on the fish's requirements.
- Twilight and nocturnal fish are fed in the evening. Observe the fish during feeding to ensure they are all eating.
- Use high quality food to maintain the health of the fish.

Everything you need to know about fish food – for healthy and lively aquarium inhabitants
The right diet is essential for a healthy aquarium. Whether you are just starting out or are an experienced aquarist, feeding fish is a skill that needs to be learned. In our aquarium shop, you will find everything you need to optimally care for your underwater world. In this article, we explain the different types of aquarium food and their benefits – for a long, healthy fish life.
What is aquarium fish food?
Aquarium fish food is specially developed for ornamental fish and contains all the necessary nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The choice of the right food depends on the fish species, its origin and its lifestyle. We distinguish between floating food for surface feeders and sinking food for bottom dwellers.
An overview of the most important types of fish food
Our range in the aquarium shop includes a wide selection of high-quality aquarium food:
- Flake food for fish: The classic – easily digestible and ideal for many ornamental fish.
- Granules for fish: Compact food form, ideal for fish that live in the middle water layer.
- Tablets for fish: Perfect for bottom-dwelling fish such as catfish – sinks quickly and retains its shape.
- Special food for fish: For special needs such as colourfulness, immune system strengthening or breeding.
- Rearing food for fish: Finest particles and highest nutrient density for young fish.
- Holiday food for aquariums: Practical for holidays – feeds your fish for days or weeks.
- Vitamin food for fish: Supports the immune system and strengthens during stress or illness.
For special fish species – tailored nutrition
Some fish species require specially adapted food:
Catfish food: With wood fibres or algae additive – tailored to the natural diet of armoured catfish.
Cichlid food: High in protein and energy – ideal for cichlids such as Malawi or Tanganyika cichlids.
Shrimp food: Fine, nutrient-rich food that does not pollute the water.
Perch food: For predatory perch with high protein requirements – often with fish meal or crustacean content.
Natural and nutritious – animal fish food
Animal food is particularly important for many fish species:
Live food for aquariums: For example, Artemia, water fleas or mosquito larvae – stimulates the hunting instinct and offers maximum freshness.
Frozen food for aquariums: Gently frozen food animals such as red, white or black mosquito larvae, cyclops or krill – easy to portion and nutritious.
Feed animals for aquarium fish: Live or frozen animals for a species-appropriate and varied diet.
Plant-based alternatives – not just for herbivores
Algae feed: Especially for herbivorous species such as Ancistrus or shrimp – aids digestion and contains lots of fibre.
High-quality food makes all the difference
High-quality food can be recognised by its composition: no fillers, natural ingredients and high nutritional value. It promotes the growth, colourfulness and immune system of your aquarium inhabitants – and at the same time ensures clear water due to low pollution.
Conclusion: choose fish food carefully – for a healthy aquarium Whether you are looking for floating food for your tetras, sinking food for your catfish or breeding food for your young fish – you are guaranteed to find the right product in our online shop.
