JBL ProNovo Botia Tab M

Staple food for all loach-like fish in the aquarium
  • Ideal staple food for all loach-like fish (Botia species, sucking loaches, fin suckers, spiny eyes)
  • Application: Either allow to sink to the bottom of the aquarium or attach to the aquarium glass with light pressure from the inside
  • 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 with picky species thanks to high-quality raw materials such as salmon, spirulina and shrimps
  • Scope of delivery: Original sealed, air and light-tight, recyclable can with dosing aid inside the lid (for 100, 250, 1000 ml)

All loach species come from Asia and are bottom-oriented fish. They therefore feed mainly from the bottom. Many species, e.g. the splendid loach, mouse loach, net loach and green loach are good snail eaters!

How do bottom dwellers in community aquariums get their food?

You've probably seen it before: Someone throws a food tablet into the aquarium for their bottom-dwelling loaches, but the fish in the other water zones grab the food tablet and the loaches go away empty-handed! The other variant: The loaches should get some of the food from the other fish. In this case, however, there is usually enough food for the loaches and the algae! The loaches, for example, do not reach the food that ends up in the decoration. This can spoil and quickly lead to algae problems.

This works better: first feed the fish in the upper water layers and then, when they are in a feeding frenzy, throw in one or two food tablets for the loaches.

How can you proceed if you keep different bottom dwellers in one aquarium?

You can easily feed 2 types of tablets (e.g. JBL PRONOVO CORYDORAS for armored catfish and JBL PRONOVO BOTIA for loaches) at the same time. It is even positive for the fish, as they are offered more variety and yet each group of fish gets their species-appropriate diet.

What is the difference between tablets and wafers?

Food tablets (e.g. JBL PRONOVO TAB, JBL PRONOVO BOTIA) are mechanically compressed from fine flake food. Wafers, on the other hand, are thinly sliced and dried from a slurry and an "endless sausage" pressed out of the extruder.

Salvinia auriculata (Salvinia auriculata)
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.

JBL PRONOVO MALAWI was developed for these species.In contrast In contrast, almost all other species in both lakes live and eat fish, microorganisms, shrimps and fry. Some even eat only the scales of other fish (Plecodus). For the predatory species in both lakes, the JBL PRONOVO TANGANYIKA was developed. If both groups are kept together in ONE aquarium, both types of food must be offered. Each food type 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 utilized by host microorganisms and provide health benefits." Here, scientists agree scientists agree that they promote digestion and therefore health. promote health. In the case of our fish, there is another important aspect to this: Better digestion means that less is excreted and therefore the water, which means fewer algae problems and cleaner water. and the water remains cleaner. As the vast majority cichlids from Lake Tanganyika are predatory, the food for predatory species the food for predatory species was named PRONOVO TANGANYIKA was named. As most of the cultivated species from Lake Malawi are predators, JBL has named this food PRONOVO MALAWI.

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.

JBL PRONOVO TAB M
Litre : 250ml
JBL ProNovo Tab MSinking staple food for all omnivorous bottom dwellers in the aquarium. Ideal for all bottom-dwelling fish species and all others if the tablet is attached to the glassApplication: Either allow to sink to the bottom of the aquarium or attach to the aquarium glass with light pressure from the insideNatural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy aquarium fish. Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropicsVery high acceptance even with picky fish species thanks to high-quality raw materials such as shrimps, salmon and tubifexScope of delivery: Original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable can with dosing aid inside the lid (for 100, 250, 1000 ml)Bottom-dwelling fish tend to look for their food at the bottom, so sinking food tablets are ideal for them. Sinking granulated food for the other fish will also reach the bottom, but only if they have been fed too much! It therefore makes sense to feed the free-swimming and bottom-dwelling fish species separately.The biological species concept for ornamental fish:The nutritional requirements of bottom dwellers are also different:Almost all bottom-dwelling fish species eat JBL PRONOVO TAB. But even the free-swimming fish species quickly learn by smell that the tablet consists of food. Very large fish eat it whole, smaller fish bite it off. As soon as the tablet is attached to the glass, all the fish love to eat it and it is great fun to watch them do so.There are many species of suckermouth catfish that feed mainly on plants (e.g. antenna catfish, Ancistrus dolichopterus). JBL PRONOVO PLECO was developed for these species. But there are also species among the suckermouth catfish, such as the zebra catfish (Hypancistrus zebra = L 46) or the cactus catfish (Pseudacanthicus cf. leopardus = L 114), which do not live a predatory life, but do not eat plants but animal food.Armored catfish have a very extensive food spectrum. The JBL PRONOVO CORYDORAS (Corydoras = scientific name of the armored catfish species) therefore contains the appropriate raw materials, such as shrimps and spirulina. Corydoras need a varied diet for a healthy diet. The shrimps are representative of all the small animal organisms and also carrion, which the armored catfish feel on the ground with their barbels.Loaches also tend to be omnivores that like to eat snails, but sometimes also aquarium plants. JBL PRONOVO BOTIA was designed for their diet.

However, aquarists have come to distinguish between crabs (with claws) and shrimps. We also linguistically classify crabs (with rather round shells) as crayfish. Among the crabs and hermit crabs, there are also land-living species that only visit the water to reproduce. When it comes to food, we can group all claw-bearing species together, as their feeding habits are very similar. JBL PRONOVO CRABS therefore contains shrimps and fish, but also plant-based ingredients such as spinach and spirulina. Wood fibers are also included as dietary fiber.When feeding several crayfish in an aquarium, it can be useful to feed the wafers to the crayfish one after the other. The fastest and strongest will get the first wafer and then the others can be given "their" wafers. Crabs find food extremely quickly and reliably using their sense of smell. It is therefore not necessary to throw a large quantity of wafers into an aquarium. Targeted individual feeding always makes more sense. A plastic tube can be very helpful to bring a wafer to a specific spot.JBL PRONOVO food is prebioticScientists agree that (pre-)prebiotic food promotes digestion and therefore health. In the case of crayfish there is another important aspect: Better digestion results in less excretion and therefore less pollution of the water, resulting in fewer algae problems and cleaner water.A head start through researchThe results of JBL research expeditions, together with the knowledge of the JBL research and development team, have led to optimal, balanced food mixtures made from high-quality ingredients.
