JBL PRONOVO DANIO GRANO XS
Litre : 100ml
JBL ProNovo Danio Grano XSAquarium staple food for small barbs and danios from 3 to 5 cm.Prebiotic and sinking aquarium fish food: Special ballast substances in the food provide the beneficial intestinal bacteria with nourishment for healthy digestion.Natural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy aquarium fish. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropics.Very high acceptance even by fussy barbel species due to high-quality raw materials such as salmon, shrimps, spirulina and insectsWith the very high-quality natural astaxanthin from krill and spirulina, which ensures perfect colour formation in barbs ; daniosScope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with click-doser as feeding aidThe biological species concept for ornamental fish:In addition to a staple food such as JBL PRONOVO BEL 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 choose 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 right food for each group of fish. Variety is always positive!For example, would you like to feed your barbs and danios exactly the right food? No problem: in the JBL Species Concept you will find a granulate for barbs (and other small danios) which is suitable for mouths and whose composition is precisely adapted to the needs of the fish including insects, the JBL PRONOVO DANIO. In their natural habitats in South-East Asia and Africa, barbs and danios live in a wide variety of water types. With their terminal but rather small mouths they "pick up" food from the water or from the bottom.The right food size:A very important aspect of correct feeding is the right food size for the mouth. Especially with small fish species, it is important that the animals get the food morsels into their mouths, as they cannot bite off properly. If you are unsure of two food sizes, always choose the smaller one. Predatory fish species cope much better with larger food chunks, as "too large" food chunks are also included in their food spectrum.
