Click dispenser as a feeding aid or 20 g in a fresh bagIn the rift valley lakes of East Africa (Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika) many cichlids have specialized in grazing the algae growth with the microorganisms 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 are predators and eat fish, microorganisms, shrimps and fry. Some even eat only the scales of other fish (Plecodus). The 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. This ensures that 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.
Optimum protein-fat ratio.
Mainly proteins from aquatic animals.
Reduction of algae growth and optimum fish growth due to adjusted phosphate content.Prebiotic: Prebiotics are "substrates that are selectively used by host microorganisms and provide health benefits." Scientists agree that they promote digestion and therefore health. In the case of our fish, there is another important aspect: Better digestion means that less is excreted and so the water is less polluted, resulting in fewer algae problems and cleaner water. As the majority of the cichlids kept in Lake Tanganyika are predators, the food for predatory species has been named PRONOVO TANGANYIKA. As most of the cultivated species from Lake Malawi are growth eaters, JBL has named this food PRONOVO MALAWI.

JBL Pronovo Color Grano SColor food granules for strong colors in all aquarium fish from 3 to 10 cmStrong color formation in aquarium fish due to high-quality, natural astaxanthin (a carotene) from krill shrimpPrebiotic aquarium fish food: special dietary fibers in the food provide beneficial intestinal bacteria with nourishment for healthy digestionNatural 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 picky fish species due to high-quality raw materials such as salmon, squid and krillScope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and light-tight, recyclable tin with dosing aid inside the lidFish show their colors with almost any food, but the color expression can be intensified by certain types of food, as it happens with humans by feeding them carrots. 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.
AquaMaker is a powerful, fast-working water conditioner.
It makes aggressive tap water immediately suitable for all freshwater and marine aquariums. AquaMaker can also be used in reef aquariums and garden ponds. It is absolutely safe for all fish, plants, corals, shrimps, snails and the biological filter.
AquaMaker is very versatile:
Removes chlorine
Removes chloramine
Removes heavy metals like copper, zinc and lead
Binds and detoxifies poisonous ammonia
Binds and neutralizes toxic nitrite
Binds and neutralizes nitrate
Destresses fish
Protects the mucous membrane and gills of fish
AquaMaker has no impact on the pH, KH or GH. Furthermore, AquaMaker will not overactivate skimmers.UseAquaMaker is best added to the tap water used for the water change. Only use the dose for the volume of this new tap water. Thus, aggressive substances are immediately neutralized.AquaMaker can of course also be added directly to the aquarium. In this case, base the dosage on the total volume of the aquarium water.
DosageThe standard dosage is 10 ml AquaMaker per 50 liters of aquarium water.Or:The standard dosage is 1 US fl oz AquaMaker per 40 US Gallons of aquarium water.Shake before use. The product may release a sulfur odor.Example: dosing to tap water for water changeFive buckets of each 10 liters are filled to change water. Dose 2 ml of AquaMaker in each bucket and mix it. The mixture can be added to the aquarium right away, because AquaMaker works instantly.Example: dosing to an aquariumAn aquarium has a water volume of 100 liters and 20 liters of water is changed. The dosage of AquaMaker is for the full water content, in this case 100 liters. The addition to the aquarium water should be 20 ml of AquaMaker.Deviating dosages – concentrations of chloramine, chlorine and nitrite & water temperature* use a half dose of AquaMaker (5 ml per 50 liters; 1 US fl oz per 80 US Gallons) at low concentrations of chlorine, chloramine or ammonia* use a double dose of AquaMaker (20 ml per 50 liters; 2 US fl oz per 40 US Gallons) at higher concentrations of chlorine, chloramine of ammonia* emergency: use a triple dose of AquaMaker (30 ml per 50 liter; 3 US fl oz per 40 US Gallons) at very high nitrite concentrations (3 mg/L or higher) or at very high ammonia concentrations (1 mg/L or higher)* use up to half a dose of AquaMaker (maximum) as soon as the water temperature reaches 30 ºC (= 86 ºF)
