Advice
Recommended as an algae stopper for all new installations. Care instructions
The hornwort is a cosmopolitan plant that can be found in many bodies of water around the world. We found the free-floating stem plant in huge populations in a tributary of the Rio Miranda on the edge of the Pantanal in South America. The growth rate of the stems is enormous, so they have to be constantly pruned. Ceratophyllum is considered a "miracle weapon" against algae growth. The explanation is quite simple: the plant is a strong nutrient consumer and removes the algae's food source. The use of hornwort is recommended for every new aquarium.Wir sind sehr bemüht, dass unsere Pflanzen gesund und unbeschädigt bei Ihnen ankommen.

HabiStat Calcium Shot - extra calcium for reptiles & co.The HabiStat Calcium Shot is a practical supplement to daily feeding and provides your animal with an additional source of calcium - ideal for supporting bone structure, muscles and normal body function. An adequate supply of calcium is particularly important for terrarium animals, as it can actively contribute to the stability of the skeleton.Important: In order for calcium to be utilized by the body and absorbed from food, your animal needs either
sufficient exposure to suitable UVB light, or
vitamin D3 via the diet,
or a combination of both.
The Calcium Shot can therefore be sensibly integrated into a balanced husbandry and feeding concept - especially for species with an increased calcium requirement.Advantages at a glanceAdditional source of calcium as a supplement to the feedSupports a needs-based supply of mineralsIdeal in combination with UVB lighting and/or vitamin D3Practical for regular use in the terrarium

Proterra Reptile Fluid - 2 x 10mlOptimum nutrition for reptiles and other terrarium animals.In their natural environment, reptiles, amphibians and other terrarium inhabitants meet their requirements for vitamins, minerals and trace elements through the food that is available to them there. Although we endeavor to provide a diet that is as close to nature as possible when maintaining terrariums, this is often not completely feasible.Food animals such as crickets or grasshoppers do not usually come from the natural habitat of the terrarium animals and have therefore not enjoyed a natural diet. For cost reasons, these food animals are often either not fed at all or only fed inferior food, which impairs their nutritional quality.
However, to ensure that our terrarium animals are optimally supplied, supplementing their food with JBL PROTERRA REPTILFLUID is a valuable support. It helps to provide the correct dosage of vitamins and close nutritional gaps.
Poison dart frogs, which lose their toxicity in captivity, are an illustrative example of this. The reason for this is the loss of certain ants in their diet that they eat in the wild. Although this loss of toxicity is not a problem for the frogs themselves and they can even be bred in the terrarium without any problems, this example shows how strongly nutrition can influence the characteristics of animals.Suitable for the following species:Anolis, axolotl, bearded dragons, basilisks, tree pythons, boa constrictors, broad-shelled tortoises, Chinese three-legged tortoises, thick-tailed scorpions, spiny-tailed agamas, spiny-tailed iguanas, European tortoises, European pond turtles, rock iguanas, feeder insects, Dyer's frogs, ghost terrors, golden tejus, praying mantises, Greek tortoise, belted tails, collared iguanas, house geckos, Indian star tortoise, Yemen chameleons, coral fingers, corn snakes, ruffed lizards, clawed frogs, charcoal tortoise, king snakes, king pythons, lobed chameleons, tree frogs, iguanas, leopard geckos, newts, musk turtles, night tree snakes, Pakistan agamas, panther turtles, poison dart frogs, red-eyed frogs, red-bellied slider turtles, hinged turtles, horned frogs, Ornate tortoises, Settler's agamas, Scolopendras, Scorpions, Spur-thighed tortoises, Pond turtles, Day geckos, Tokees, Tropical tortoises, Tropical pond turtles, Tarantulas, Water agamas, Water turtles, Desert geckos, Dwarf day geckos

Calcium Pure from Nekton Rep +
Calcium for reptiles and amphibiansNEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+ is a highly effective calcium supplement with minerals, enriched with trace elements without vitamin D3 to prevent and compensate for calcium deficiency and its consequential diseases. It supports the optimal construction and maintenance of the skeleton and promotes a healthy calcium metabolism in reptiles and amphibians. NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+ contains no vitamin D3 and is specially developed for animals that are supplied with sufficient UVB light or free-living animals with sufficient sun exposure (approx. 10 hours). These can produce their own vitamin D and therefore do not need an extra proportion of vitamin D3 in the product.Reptiles and amphibians need less food than mammals because they have a relatively low energy requirement. Therefore, it is more important that the food contains all the necessary nutrients. These include minerals and trace elements. In addition to high-quality food, these substances must be added.One of the most important supplements is calcium, which is very important not only for eggshell and bone formation, but also for other vital processes (such as muscle contractions). The calcium content in the feed is usually very low. Especially the feeder insects lead to a calcium deficiency without supplementation. As the animals also absorb additional calcium in the wild, this must also be offered in the terrarium. Especially female and growing animals have a higher calcium requirement.For calcium to be utilised by the body, reptiles and amphibians need vitamin D. This can be supplied via appropriate supplements or can be produced by the animal in the skin with the help of UVB radiation.No additional vitamin D needs to be administered via food if the animal is offered the correct quantity and quality of UVB radiation. With sufficient UVB irradiation of healthy animals, vitamin D deficiency usually does not occur. Vitamin precursors that are ingested with food (these are mainly found in the muscle and fatty tissue of feeder animals and plants) are converted in the skin under the influence of sunlight (or UVB radiation) and warmth into a precursor of vitamin D3 and finally in the kidney tissue into the active form of vitamin D3. The required amount of UVB radiation (intensity, duration of illumination) depends on the animal species.Desert-dwelling species, for example, require considerably higher amounts of UVB radiation.With sufficient supply of vitamin D, optimal calcium absorption in the digestive tract can be expected.Feeding recommendation:0.25 g NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+ per kg body weight daily, or 1.5 g once a week.Not water-soluble, suitable for dusting the food / the feeder animals.One level measuring spoon (enclosed) corresponds to 1 g NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+.This supplementary feed may, due to the higher content of trace elements compared to complete feeds, only be given to reptiles up to 5% of the daily ration.Storage: NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur+ should be stored in a dry place without exposure to sunlight, between 15 °C and 25 °C.DO NOT STORE IN THE REFRIGERATOR!!!Recommendation: Disinfect drinking vessels and food containers daily with NEKTON-Desi-Care to ensure hygienically proper feeding!IngredientsWith 2 amino acidsComposition:Calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonateAnalytical constituents:Ca 38 %, Mg 0.022 %, Na 0.03 %Nutritional additives per kg:500 mg iron (iron(II) sulphate, monohydrate), 492 mg zinc (zinc sulphate, monohydrate), 250 mg manganese (manganese(II) sulphate, monohydrate), 145 mg copper (copper(II) sulphate, pentahydrate), 20 mg iodine (calcium iodate, anhydrous), 16 mg selenium (sodium selenite)
