Salvinia auriculataSalvinia Auriculata (Brazilian salvinia) is a floating plant native to South America. It grows moderately quickly so that its population can be controlled. Easy to grow. Absorbs nitrogen to combat algae. Propagates by spreading.Difficulty of cultivation: easy to mediumLight requirement: medium to highCO₂ requirement: lowHeight of the adult plant: 0.5 cmGrowth: moderate to fastTemperature: 22 - 24°CPlacement in the aquarium: SurfaceOrigin: South and Central AmericaCup diameter 6 cmSalvinia Auriculata (Brazilian Salvinia) is a floating ornamental plant. It is native to the calm, still waters of South and Central America. It can be found from Paraguay to Cuba. It owes its popularity above all to its original appearance. Its small oval leaves with a diameter of 10 mm cm are arranged opposite each other on an elongated leaf stalk. These leaves are covered with fine hairs that trap air bubbles, allowing them to float. Depending on the light intensity, they are wavy or flat. Salvinia forms a third type of underwater leaves on which the spores are deposited.Like all floating plants, Salvinia is recommended for shady waters . Its great appetite for nitrogen and phosphorus compounds makes this plant a good ally in the fight against algae.
Salvinia has low light and nutrient requirements. It grows well in both moderate and strong light. As a floating plant, it does not require a substrate but draws all the necessary nutrients directly from the water. During the vegetation period, it reproduces by spreading, whereby the growth rate is moderate. This makes it easy to control its growth and remove excess plants. It grows to a length of 3-6 cm and likes warm, humid air, so it is advisable to use a glass or cover when growing it.It should be placed in such a way that no condensation falls on the plants. It adapts very quickly to the new parameters. However, it should be borne in mind that it will die if there is too little light. It thrives best in soft to medium-hard water at 22-24°C.
The in vitro culture of plants is carried out in tissue culture laboratories. Thanks to the sterile production conditions, the cuttings are free from snails, algae or pathogens.Planting:The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Place the plant on the surface of the water.

JBL Pronovo FIL Nature Red mosquito larvae as a treat for all ornamental fish from 3 to 10 years old.Freeze-dried red mosquito larvae (chironomid larvae) are an ideal food supplement for healthy ornamental fish. Red mosquito larvae are rich in nutrients and are the basis of the diet of many fish species in nature. Alternative to live and frozen food: supplementary food for tropical freshwater fish. The drying process preserves the nutrients No water turbidity: better water quality due to better digestibility of the food, which reduces fish excrement Scope of delivery: original sealed, air-tight and lightproof, recyclable box with dosing aid in the lid. Red mosquito larvae are the ideal food for strengthening fish. Chironomid larvae sometimes appear en masse and in nature are a main food base for many, many species of fish. They are NOT mosquito larvae (Culicidae).Ideally, you should find a main food for your ornamental fish, e.g. JBL PRONOVO BEL, and supplement it with a second main food, e.g. JBL PRONOVO COLOR. Alternately, treats and supplements such as JBL PRONOVO SPIRULINA or JBL PRONOVO FIL, FEX, DAPH or ARTEMIO are added. This guarantees a varied diet for the treated fish.Food size/mouth size: This may sound trivial, but it is important that the size of the food corresponds to the size of the fish's mouth. Not all fish are capable of biting into larger pieces of food. The size of the fish to which the food size is adapted is indicated on all JBL food cans, at the bottom left on the front of the label.
There are few freshwater fish that will not eat red mosquito larvae unless they are too large for their mouths (e.g., neon eels). East African cichlids from lakes Malawi and Tanganyika should NEVER be fed red mosquito larvae. For reasons still unknown, they do not tolerate red mosquito larvae. On the other hand, white or black mosquito larvae are not a problem for the cichlids of these two lakes.
