JBL ProNovo Cichlid Grano  Sinking staple food granules for medium-sized cichlids such as firemouth cichlids from 8 to 20 cmPrebiotic & sinking aquarium fish food: special dietary fibers in the food provide the beneficial intestinal bacteria with nourishment for healthy digestion Natural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy cichlids. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropics Very high acceptance by all cichlid species due to high-quality raw materials such as salmon and shrimps With the very high-quality natural astaxanthin from krill and spirulina, which ensures perfect color formation in cichlids such as the butterfly cichlid Scope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and light-proof, recyclable tin with dosing aid in the lidCichlids are an incredibly diverse group of fish with 1700 species. They range in size from a few centimeters (checkerboard cichlid) to 80 cm crenicichla species. All cichlids practice brood care. Their food spectrum ranges from microorganisms to plants and other fish. Therefore it is important to be well informed about the species kept in the aquarium! JBL PRONOVO CICHLID S has been specially developed for smaller species up to about 10/12 cm in length. The most common of these species kept in the aquarium are Microgeophagus, Apistogramma, Pelvicachromis, Pelmatochromis, Nannacara, Nanochromis, Crenicara, Laetacara, Dicrossus and Ivanacara. Earth eaters of the genera Geophagus and Satanoperca grow larger, but also prefer rather smaller food, which they pick out of the sand (hence the name Earth eater). JBL PRONOVO CICHLID M is suitable for all medium-sized cichlids from 8 to 20 cm. This includes many species of the genera Cichlasoma, Acarichthys, Aequidens, Thorichthys, Amalatitlania, Crytoheros, Heros, Andinocara, Pterophyllum, Uaru and many more.JBL PRONOVO CICHLID XL is then ideal for the big guys between 15 and 25 cm. These include many species of the genera Crenicichla, Cichla, Amphilophus, Astronotus, Mayaheros, Cichlasoma, Rocio and several others.Advantages of JBL foods: use of pure fish protein without cheap fish meal optimal protein-fat ratio mainly proteins from aquatic animals Prebiotic: Here scientists agree that they promote digestion and thus health. In the case of our fish, there is another essential aspect: Through better digestion, less is excreted and thus the water is less polluted, causing fewer algae problems and keeping the water cleaner.

JBL ProNovo Malawi Grano Staple food granules for growth-eating cichlids from 8 to 20 cm Prebiotic ; sinking aquarium fish food: special dietary fibers in the food provide the beneficial intestinal bacteria with nourishment for healthy digestion Natural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy aquarium fish. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropics Very high acceptance even by picky tetra species due to high-quality raw materials such as salmon, shrimp, spirulina and insects With the very high-quality natural astaxanthin from krill and spirulina, which ensures perfect color formation in Neon and other tetra species Scope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with click-doser as feeding aid or 20 g in a fresh bag In the rift valley lakes of East Africa (Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika) many cichlids have specialized in grazing the algae growth with the micro-organisms living in it from the rocks (herbivorous growth eaters). JBL PRONOVO MALAWI was developed for these species. In contrast, almost all other species in both lakes live predatorily and eat fish, microorganisms, shrimps and fish fry. Some even eat only the scales of other fish (Plecodus). JBL PRONOVO TANGANYIKA was developed for the predatory species of both lakes. If both groups are kept together in ONE aquarium, it is essential to offer both types of food. In this way each type of food gets the right food for it. Typical predators from Lake Tanganyika: Lamprologus, Neolamprologus, Julidochromis, Cyphotilapia, Telmatochromis, Chalinochromis Typical predators from Lake Malawi: Trematocranus, Haplochromis, Nimbochromis, Sciaenochromis, Labidochromis. Advantages of JBL foods: Use of pure fish protein without cheap fish meal. Optimal protein-fat ratio. Mainly proteins from aquatic animals. Reduction of algae growth and optimal fish growth due to adjusted phosphate content. Prebiotic: Prebiotics are "substrates that are selectively utilized by host microorganisms and impart health benefits." Here, scientists agree that they promote digestion and thus health. In the case of our fish, there is another essential aspect: With better digestion, less is excreted and thus the water is less polluted, resulting in fewer algae problems and keeping the water cleaner. Since the majority of maintained cichlids from Lake Tanganyika are predatory, the food for predatory species was named PRONOVO TANGANYIKA. Since most of the species kept in Lake Malawi are predators, JBL has named this food PRONOVO MALAWI.

JBL ProNovo Bits Grano Sinking, staple food for discus and other cichlids from 3 to 10 cm Prebiotic & sinking aquarium fish food: special dietary fibers in the food provide the beneficial intestinal bacteria with nourishment for healthy digestion Natural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy cichlids. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropics Very high acceptance even by picky cichlid species due to high-quality raw materials such as salmon, shrimp and squid With the very high-quality natural astaxanthin from krill and spirulina, which ensures perfect color formation in cichlids such as discus Scope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with dosing aid in the lid (250/1000 ml)Discus cichlids and some other cichlid species can be very picky about their food. In the JBL PRONOVO BITS this has been considered and therefore raw materials such as shrimps have been chosen which the fish cannot resist. Since discus and cichlids living in the same biotope adapt their food spectrum to dry and rainy seasons, but we do not reproduce this in the aquarium, the food must be very versatile. In the rainy season of Amazonia, when the water level rises to 9 m, discus even eat fruits and other vegetable components! In the dry season, discus orientate themselves towards the bottom and, apart from shrimps, eat everything they can find from the bottom.

JBL ProNovo Bel Weekend Weekend food for all freshwater aquarium fish from 8 to 20 cmProvide your aquarium fish with stored food for 3 days Application: Place food block into the aquarium. It sinks to the bottom and 1 block provides about 15 ornamental fish up to 10 cm size with food for 3 days The block consists of a calcium compound that adds some total hardness to the water when dissolved. It dissolves slowly through the feed intake of the fish Natural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy aquarium fish. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropics. Scope of delivery: 4 food blocks. 1 block for feeding 15 fish over 3 days.Aquariums are the easiest pets for owners to care for during a weekend or vacation trip. Very few species of fish cannot be fed with commercial food and will only accept live food. For a weekend or longer vacation, the aquarium owner has a choice: either feed JBL PRONOVO BEL WEEKEND (for 3 days) or JBL PRONOVO BEL HOLIDAY (for 2 weeks) or use an automatic feeder (JBL AUTOFOOD), which is filled with his preferred feed granulate.Most aquarium fish, excluding juveniles, would even go a day or two without food - just like in nature. But then many aquarium owners get a guilty conscience and therefore JBL PRONOVO BEL WEEKEND is available even for a short absence.The food blocks in JBL PRONOVO BEL HOLIDAY and WEEKEND consist of a natural calcium compound which slowly dissolves when the fish "nibble" on it. Bottom-dwelling fish such as armored catfish or loaches also quickly smell the contained food and then also provide themselves with food as needed. Be careful when you ask neighbors to feed your fish! Most people then mean it too well and overfeed massively. Then large amounts of food lie uneaten on the aquarium floor and spoil. This leads to serious problems with oxygen levels and toxic nitrite that then builds up. A vacation feeder or a feeder (or aquarists as neighbors) are the better way.

JBL PRONOVO BEL GRANO BABY Dust 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.

Unlike other amphibians, they retain their larval stage with external gill tufts throughout their lives. Axolotls originally come from a lake in Mexico, which was located at a high altitude and therefore had low temperatures around 20 °C. Today, the city of Mexico City has expanded to such an extent that the lake lies within the city and contains hardly any living creatures due to the influx of garbage and other pollution. Thus, the axolotl is considered extinct in its original habitat.Axolotls consider their food to be olfactory, i.e. via their sense of smell and with the help of mechanoreceptors, which, as in the lateral line organ of fish, perceive flow and vibration stimuli. This makes live food and "interesting" smelling food such as JBL PRONOVO LOTL ideal for a species-appropriate diet. In nature, they lie in wait for their prey and eat crustaceans, insect larvae, small fish and even small specimens of their own species. The food composition of JBL PRONOVO LOTL takes into account the food spectrum and thus includes fish meat (trout), shrimps and gammarus (brown shrimps).JBL PRONOVO food is prebioticScientists agree that (pre-) prebiotic food promotes digestion and thus health. In the case of axolotls, there is another important aspect: With better digestion, less is excreted and thus the water is less polluted, resulting in fewer algae problems and keeping the water cleaner.

How intense the colors can be in fish is shown by courtship or fighting males. However, JBL does not use cheap carotene, but natural astaxanthin (also a carotene) obtained from krill shrimp and spirulina algae. This is much more expensive, but a natural way to promote beautiful colors in fish.The biological species concept for ornamental fish:In addition to a staple food such as JBL PRONOVO BEL or JBL PRONOVO COLOR 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 select it 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!For example, would you like to feed your neon or armored catfish exactly the right food in each case? No problem: in the JBL species concept you will find a granulate for neon tetra (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 blackwater biotopes and depend on small, mouth-appropriate plankton. Corydoras, on the other hand, live on the bottom and have a different food spectrum. JBL PRONOVO CORYDORAS (Corydoras = scientific name of the armored catfish species) therefore contains the appropriate raw materials, such as shrimps and spirulina.

Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropicsVery high acceptance, even with fussy fish species, due to high-quality raw materials such as salmon, squid and krillScope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with dosing aid inside the lidFish show their colours with almost any food, but the colour expression can be intensified by certain types of food, just as it happens with humans by feeding them carrots. Courting or fighting males show how intense the colours can be in fish. JBL does not use cheap carotene, however, but natural astaxanthin (also a carotene) obtained from krill shrimp and spirulina algae. This is considerably more expensive, but it is a natural way to promote the beautiful colours of the fish.The biological species concept for ornamental fish:In addition to a staple food such as JBL PRONOVO BEL or JBL PRONOVO COLOR 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 their 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 the appropriate raw materials, such as shrimps and spirulina.

JBL Pronovo Spirulina Grano MSpirulina, green food granulate for all small herbivores from 8 to 20 cmSinking, prebiotic Spirulina algae food granulate for herbivorous (plant/algae-eating) aquarium inhabitants such as livebearers and shrimpsNatural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy aquarium fish and invertebrates. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropicsVery high acceptance even by fussy fish & shrimp species due to high-quality raw materials such as spirulina and shrimpsVery high spirulina algae content of 20 % for healthy fish and optimum colour formationScope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and light-proof, recyclable tin with click-doser as feeding aidSpirulina are blue-green algae, some species of which, such as the S. platensis processed here, have ideal protein contents for feeding ornamental fish. Incidentally, the spirulina content of 20 % in JBL PRONOVO SPIRULINA food is optimal - more would not be healthy for the fish! The natural astaxanthin (a carotene) in the algae causes the beautiful colouring of the fish. This is another reason why spirulina algae are very popular for feeding ornamental fish.Probiotic or prebiotic - which is better?Probiotic foods, such as some types of yoghurt, contain live bacterial cultures to promote health, but only if consumed in larger quantities. Such foods, including probiotic fish food, can easily spoil and then have the opposite effect. The positive effect on health is, by the way, quite controversial.Pre- or prebiotics are "substrates that are selectively used by host microorganisms and impart health benefits." Here, scientists agree that they promote digestion and thus health. In the case of our fish, there is another essential aspect: With better digestion, less is excreted and thus the water is less polluted, which keeps the water cleaner and results in fewer algae problems.Flakes or granules?Honestly: It is a kind of question of faith! There are few arguments for or against the type of food. If you use an automatic feeder such as the JBL AutoFood, you MUST choose granulate food, as almost all automatic feeders are only suitable for granulates. If an automatic feeder is due on your next holiday, get your fish used to the granules from the feeder RIGHT NOW. Some fish actually find it a little difficult to switch from granules to flakes or vice versa. Imagine that you have always eaten soft cornflakes and are now getting wholemeal cereal for the first time.

In their natural habitats in South-East Asia and Africa, barbs and danios live in a wide variety of water types. With their terminal but rather small mouths they "pick up" food from the water or from the bottom.The right food size:A very important aspect of correct feeding is the right food size for the mouth. Especially with small fish species, it is important that the animals get the food morsels into their mouths, as they cannot bite off properly. If you are unsure of two food sizes, always choose the smaller one. Predatory fish species cope much better with larger food chunks, as "too large" food chunks are also included in their food spectrum.

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.
