Product information "Easy Life Easystart"
Easy Start from Easy Life
Easy Start is a filter starter. The Easy Starter helps the aquarium to clean the water quickly and to get more stable values so that it is suitable for fish.
Easy Start is a combination of highly active bacteria cultures. This bacterial carrier provides for an accelerated multiplication of useful bacteria, so that the occurrence of e.g. poisonous nitrite can be avoided. It also counteracts the effects of harmful bacteria and purifies water from heavy metals and other chemical contaminants. The result is a healthy aquarium with vital, intensely colored fish.
Application:
Shake well and add immediately.
The turbidity of the water disappears after a few hours.
Store in a cool and dry place after opening.
Dosage:
Day 1: 10 ml per 50 liters
Day 7: 10 ml per 50 liters
Day 14: 10 ml per 50 liters
For problems with nitrite: normal dosage daily. After day 14: Use Easy-Life liquid filter medium.
After day 14, you can use Easy-Life liquid filter media to maintain your aquarium.

JBL ProNovo Spirulina Flakes MSpirulina, green food flakes for all herbivores from 8 to 20 cmFloating, prebiotic spirulina algae - food flakes for herbivorous (herbivorous/algae-eating) aquarium fish such as live bearers and growth eater from Lake Malawi and Lake TanganyikaNatural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy aquarium fish. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropicsVery high acceptance even by fussy fish species due to high-quality raw materials such as spirulina, salmon and shrimpsVery high spirulina algae content of 20% for healthy fish and optimum color formationScope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with dosing aid inside the lid (for 100, 250, 1000 ml)Spirulina 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 coloring 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 yogurt, 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.

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.

Das Basis Softgranulat
sera vipagran ist das ideale Granulatfutter für Fische der mittleren Wasserschicht in Gesellschaftsaquarien. Die ausgewogene Mischung aus über 40 pflanzlichen und tierischen Rohstoffen sorgt für eine artgerechte und gesunde Ernährung. Das langsam absinkende Granulat weicht schnell auf ohne dabei seine Konsistenz zu verlieren.
Immunschutz für die Fische
VIP Konzept – bester natürlicher Schutz für ihre phantastischen Fische Das Immunsystem der Fische lässt sich zum Beispiel durch Gaben von Betaglucanen (Hefeextrakten) unterstützen – die Anfälligkeit der Fische gegenüber Krankheiten wird dadurch verringert, der Fisch lebt gesünder und seine Lebenserwartung steigt. Körperfarben lassen sich durch Zugaben bestimmter Pflanzen steigern, deren sekundäre Inhaltsstoffe sich ebenso positiv auf den gesamten Stoffwechsel des Fisches auswirken. Die bekannten langkettigen und ungesättigten Omega-3- und 6-Fettsäuren wirken vor allem positiv auf Zellmembranen der Nervenzellen, das Herz und Kreislaufsystem. Sie müssen als essenzielle Fettsäuren mit pflanzlicher und tierischer Nahrung aufgenommen werden und sind im sera Futter vorhanden. Mit Vitaminen, die als Katalysator im Stoffwechsel der Fische wirken und die wir für die Anwendung speziell mischen, erzielen wir bessere Ergebnisse als mit Fertigmischungen, die Grundlage für Futtersorten anderer Hersteller sind.

Costia Platworms (gills and skin) TrichodinaChilodonellaOodinium.MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana is a unique, herbal, immunostimulant for freshwater and marine inhabitants. Parasitic infections can be recognized by symptoms such as milky skin, blinking and heavy breathing.
Parasites are usually always present in very small quantities in most fish. They are naturally fought off by the fish's immune system. When stress levels rise, the immune system's ability to do its job of natural parasite control is directly impaired. This inadequate response allows the parasites to multiply and cause the serious health problems of the host fish mentioned above.
MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana supports the immune system of the fish and expels the excess parasites. Since they cannot return to the fish during treatment, most parasites starve to death without a host.MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana is safe for all aquatic life. It is an excellent aid for acclimating new fish.PrecautionsDo not use with other medications or treatments. Do not use with algaecides or copper-based products. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse eyes thoroughly with cold water.
