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.

JBL ProNovo Spirulina Grano M Spirulina green food granules for all herbivores from 8 to 20 cm Sinking, prebiotic spirulina algae food granules for herbivorous (plant/algae-eating) aquarium inhabitants such as livebearers and shrimpsNatural raw materials without artificial additives for a near-natural diet and healthy aquarium fish and invertebrates. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropicsVery high acceptance even with picky fish and shrimp species thanks to high-quality raw materials such as spirulina and shrimpVery high spirulina algae content of 20 % for healthy fish and optimum color developmentScope of delivery: Original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable can with click dispenser as a feeding aidSpirulina are blue-green algae, some species of which, such as the S. platensis used here, have ideal protein levels for feeding ornamental fish. The spirulina content of 20 % in the JBL PRONOVO SPIRULINA food is optimal - more would not be healthy for the fish! The natural astaxanthin (a carotene) in the algae is responsible for the beautiful coloration 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 they are consumed in large quantities. Such foods, including probiotic fish food, can easily spoil and then have the opposite effect. The positive effect on health is controversial.Pre- or 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 results in less excretion and therefore less pollution of the water, which keeps the water cleaner and reduces algae problems.Flakes or granules?Honestly, it's a question of faith! There are only a few arguments for or against the type of food. If you use an automatic feeder such as the JBL AutoFood, you MUST choose granulated food, as almost all automatic feeders are only suitable for granules. If an automatic feeder is due on your next vacation, get your fish used to the granules from the feeder RIGHT AWAY. Some fish actually find it difficult to switch from granules to flakes or vice versa. Imagine that you have always eaten soft cornflakes and are now giving them wholemeal muesli for the first time.
