Whether young or old, beginner or advanced: aquarium enthusiasts are always flirting with new fish species. After all, tropical freshwater fish with their dazzling colours and fascinating behaviour make the aquarium an exciting nature experience. However, this should not tempt you to put too many fish in one tank or even to socialise fish that have different requirements. The fish expert Dr Ulrich Schliewen offers compact knowledge on around 300 fish species in the large GU Aquarium Fish Compass from A to Z - sorted by German species names for beginners. Each fish portrait contains all the important information - from their way of life in the wild, to their husbandry requirements in the aquarium, to care and socialisation tips. Coloured buttons show the required tank size and water temperature at a glance. The most popular shrimps, crabs, crayfish and snails for the aquarium are presented in portraits in an extra chapter.

JBL Biotopol
Variant: 250ml | Variant (1): 250ml
JBL Biotopol water conditioner Prepares tap water quickly to biotope-compatible aquarium water and is suitable for every water change and new aquariums. Prepares tap water quickly to biotope-compatible aquarium water. Tactilely protects mucous membranes, gills, skin and fins. For every water change and new aquariums. Immediately neutralizes toxic heavy metals and chlorine. Vitamin B complex has been proven to reduce stress in fish. Aloe vera plant extract protects the mucous membranes of the fish. Refill bags available. Many aquarists mistakenly believe that their tap water is never chlorinated. But be careful: as soon as waterworks work on the pipe system, it is then heavily chlorinated for disinfection. And even if no chlorine is added to the tap water, disinfectant substitutes are often added to make the water low-germ drinking water. JBL Biotopol is highly recommended for this purpose and especially for neutralizing heavy metals. A special feature of JBL Biotopol is the valuable ingredient aloe vera (a plant extract), which effectively protects the skin not only of humans but also of fish.

Incl. reagent and plastic cuvette. Refill reagent available separately Healthy aquarium/healthy pond with near-natural conditionsThe correct water values in the aquarium/pond depend on the fish population and the plants present. Even if the water looks clear, it may be polluted. If the values are poor, diseases or algae can form in the aquarium/pond. For a healthy aquarium/pond with near-natural conditions, it is important to regularly check and adjust the water values. JBL offers water tests in the form of rapid tests or colour change tests for every water analysis. These determine a specific value or several values simultaneously. With these water tests, algae problems can be recognised and negative nitrate, nitrite, potassium, magnesium values etc. can be determined. Why test?Maintaining a suitable KH value as consistently as possible is an important prerequisite for the well-being of the aquarium and pond inhabitants and for aquatic plants to thrive. Carbonate hardness is one of the most important water values, as it keeps the pH value stable. The KH should never fall below 4 °dKH.

It has strong antioxidant properties that protect cells from stress and inflammation, promoting fish health. Catappa leaves also contain natural plant dyes that provide more intense and vibrant fish colors. Catappa-X therefore focuses primarily on color enhancement and health promotion. Humin Pro+ is a combination of fulvic and humic acids - organic molecules formed from the decomposition of plant and animal material found in soil, peat, streams and natural waters. Humic acids can replicate the tropical water conditions found in the natural habitat of many aquarium fish. Humin Pro+ is particularly recommended for tropical fish, while Catappa-X is suitable for all fish species. In addition, humic substances stimulate enzyme activity not only in fish, but also in plants and microorganisms in the aquarium. Aquatic plants can absorb nutrients more efficiently, while beneficial microorganisms continue to thrive - ensuring a healthy and stable ecosystem in the aquarium.
