JBL ProNovo Malawi Flakes Staple food flakes for growth-eating cichlids from 8 to 20 cm. Prebiotic ; sinking aquarium fish food: special dietary fibers in the food provide the 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 tetra 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 color formation in Neon and other tetra speciesScope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with click-doser as 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 micro-organisms 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 live predatorily and eat fish, microorganisms, shrimps and fish fry. Some even eat only the scales of other fish (Plecodus). 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. In this way 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. Optimal protein-fat ratio. Mainly proteins from aquatic animals. Reduction of algae growth and optimal fish growth due to adjusted phosphate content. Prebiotic: Prebiotics are "substrates that are selectively utilized by host microorganisms and impart health benefits." Here, scientists agree that they promote digestion and thus health. In the case of our fish, there is another essential aspect: With better digestion, less is excreted and thus the water is less polluted, resulting in fewer algae problems and keeping the water cleaner.Since the majority of maintained cichlids from Lake Tanganyika are predatory, the food for predatory species was named PRONOVO TANGANYIKA. Since most of the species kept in Lake Malawi are predators, JBL has named this food PRONOVO MALAWI.

JBL PRONOVO BEL FLAKES BABY Flake food for young fish in aquarium complete nutrition, optimal growth and beautiful colors thanks to Artemia crustaceans. Dust food for fry of all aquarium fishes.Nutritious and easily digestible: ideal nutrient composition for all baby aquarium fish from 5 to 10 mm in size No water turbidity: Reduced algae growth due to adjusted phosphate content, better water quality due to improved digestibility of the food, reducing fish excretion Natural raw materials without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy aquarium fish Scope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and light-proof, recyclable tin with dosing lid as feeding aid The composition of the ideal growth food for young fish depends on many factors. The young fish are growing and need important nutrients for development. Vital vitamins and the bioelement inositol are needed to strengthen the immune system. With young fish it is essential that the food size fits the mouth size. It is better to feed a feed that is too small than a feed that is too large! The appropriate phosphate content of the feed is essential for healthy bone formation. Too little phosphate and calcium will lead to bone deformities. When the young fish are large enough, supplementation with live Artemia (brine shrimp) is ideal. JBL offers a complete program for this = JBL Artemio.In the case of fry, a distinction is made between the fry of egg-laying and live-bearing species. After hatching, the young fish of egg-laying species are considerably smaller and first feed on infusoria (microorganisms) which they find in their environment. Many species then also accept liquid food (JBL PRONOVO BEL FLUID). Shortly afterwards they accept fine dust food (JBL PRONOVO BEL BABY TOM or the dust food from the first tin of the JBL PRONOVO BABY set). As soon as they have grown again a little, you can change to the 2nd can of JBL PRONOVO BABY. If the parents are brooders (e.g. cichlids), a long pipette or a piece of hose helps to bring the food dissolved in water specifically to the young fish. In the case of egg-laying or even mouth-breeding species, the young fish are larger and immediately eat the food from the second can of JBL PRONOVO BABY and live Artemia (JBL Artemio System). A head start through research Results of JBL research expeditions, together with the knowledge of the JBL research and development team, resulted in optimal, balanced food mixtures made from high-quality ingredients.

JBL Pronovo Color Flakes MColor food flakes for strong colors in all aquarium fish from 8 to 20 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 the 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 shrimp and spirulina.

JBL PRONOVO CORYDORAS (Corydoras = scientific name of the armoured catfish species) therefore contains suitable raw materials such as shrimps and spirulina. The armoured catfish need a varied diet for a healthy diet. The shrimps are representative of all the small animal organisms and also carrion, which the armoured catfish feel on the ground with their barbels.

JBL ProNovo Spirulina Flakes MSpirulina, green food flakes for all herbivores from 8 to 20 cmFloating, prebiotic spirulina algae - food flakes for herbivorous (herbivorous/algae-eating) aquarium fish such as live bearers and growth eater from Lake Malawi and Lake TanganyikaNatural 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 fussy fish species due to high-quality raw materials such as spirulina, salmon and shrimpsVery high spirulina algae content of 20% for healthy fish and optimum color formationScope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with dosing aid inside the lid (for 100, 250, 1000 ml)Spirulina are blue-green algae, some species of which, such as the S. platensis processed here, have ideal protein contents for feeding ornamental fish. Incidentally, the spirulina content of 20% in JBL PRONOVO SPIRULINA food is optimal - more would not be healthy for the fish! The natural astaxanthin (a carotene) in the algae causes the beautiful coloring 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 consumed in larger quantities. Such foods, including probiotic fish food, can easily spoil and then have the opposite effect. The positive effect on health is, by the way, quite controversial.Pre- or prebiotics are "substrates that are selectively used by host microorganisms and impart health benefits." Here, scientists agree that they promote digestion and thus health. In the case of our fish, there is another essential aspect: With better digestion, less is excreted, and thus the water is less polluted, which keeps the water cleaner and results in fewer algae problems.Flakes or granules?Honestly: It is a kind of question of faith! There are few arguments for or against the type of food. If you use an automatic feeder such as the JBL AutoFood, you MUST choose granulate food, as almost all automatic feeders are only suitable for granulates. If an automatic feeder is due on your next holiday, get your fish used to the granules from the feeder RIGHT NOW. Some fish actually find it a little difficult to switch from granules to flakes or vice versa. Imagine that you have always eaten soft cornflakes and are now getting wholemeal cereal for the first time.

JBL ProNovo Betta Flakes SAquarium staple food granulate in size S for normal fighting fish from 3 to 10 cm.Prebiotic & floating 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.

Only a male of the same species is fought to the death - hence the name! The beautiful, long-finned fighting fish in our pet shops are descended from the species Betta splendens, which is also popular for fish fights in Asia. Fighting fish and many other labyrinth fish (gouramis, gourami & macropods) live in both standing and flowing water. They are ambush hunters, quickly darting out with their overhead mouth to eat, for example, an insect that had landed on the water surface. They do not eat any aquarium plants and do not need much space. If you want to keep females as well as a male, you should definitely add several females. A single female would be too crowded. The best-known fighting fish species build foam nests on the water surface, which are guarded by the male. Other species of fighting fish are mouth brooders that incubate their eggs in the mouth until the young hatch and are large enough to stand on their own legs or fins. Water values are not really crucial for fighting fish. They prefer soft water and pH values between 6.5 and 7.5, but can also cope with other values. When feeding, it is important that the composition is adapted to their natural diet. JBL PRONOVO BETTA in flake or granulate form provides the basic nutrition. JBL PRONOVO BETTA INSECT is designed as a supplement to offer the animals variety. All three JBL fighting fish foods contain astaxanthin, which gives the fish a strong colour. It is a natural carotene obtained from krill and spirulina. With a few floating plants and a "weedy" aquarium setup, they feel at ease.

Developed together with top Asian breedersVery high acceptance also by goldfish breeders due to high quality raw materials like shrimps, salmon and spirulinaWith the very high quality natural astaxanthin from krill and spirulina, which ensures perfect color formation in goldfish and goldfish breeding formsScope of delivery: original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with dosing aid inside the lid ( for 100, 250, 1000 ml)PrebioGoldfish - the most popular ornamental fish ever!About 1000 years ago in China the beautiful colors were bred out of crucians (cold water fish) and the goldfish was created, which then even got its own scientific name (Carassius auratus). Goldfish and related breeding forms have no stomach and are omnivores that can develop a healthy appetite for aquatic plants. JBL PRONOVO RED INSECT goldfish food contains a high proportion of vegetable ingredients which reduce the hunger for aquatic plants. Insects and insect larvae form an important part of the diet along with plants. This has also been taken into account in the JBL PRONOVO food by adding soldier fly larvae.Why a special goldfish food?Goldfish are descended from the crucian carp, which originates from rather cool waters. In cold environments, metabolism is slower and therefore the main food must have a lower protein content than food for tropical ornamental fish. In addition, the goldfish likes to eat plant food. The goldfish lover will have noticed this at the latest when his goldfish keep eliminating all plants. The JBL goldfish food PRONOVO RED therefore contains a high proportion of plants. Often, but not always, this reduces the fish's hunger for plants....Probiotic or prebiotic - which is better?Prebiotics are "substrates that are selectively utilized by host microorganisms and impart health benefits." Here, scientists agree that they promote digestion and thus health.

They all have in common that they give birth to live young and do not lay eggs like most other fish species. In the wild, live-bearing toothcarps eat insects, insect larvae, algae and anything else that can be eaten - they are not choosy. Depending on the habitat, algae with the small animals living in them often form the largest part of their food spectrum.Flakes or granules?Honestly: it's a kind of question of faith! There are only a few arguments for or against the type of food.

Tropical Bio-vit - Vegetable flakes BIO-VIT is a vegetable flake food for everyday feeding of herbivorous fish and a supplementary food for omnivorous fish.Indispensable in common multi-species tanks. Optimally balanced formula and the addition of essential vitamins and trace elements, derived from wheat germs among other sources, ensure fish's proper growth and development. Another attention-worthy ingredient is a stabilised vitamin C, which enhances fish's immune system and accelerates healing of wounds and abrasions. Regular feeding with BIO-VIT lowers the risk of constipations and inflammatory disorders of the alimentary tract – the most common problems of herbivorous fish, whose alimentary tract is particularly long. These properties are owed to the high content of roughage substances, including fibre, which stimulate peristalsis and biologically active substances from nettle.Try also: 3-Algae Flakes Complete feeding for ornamental fish Ingredients:Derivatives of vegetable origin (wheat germ min. 5%, nettle meal min. 2.5%, spinach meal min. 1.5%), cereals, vegetable protein extracts, algae (Spirulina platensis min. 0.5%), fish and fish derivatives, molluscs and crustaceans, meat and animal derivatives, yeasts, oils and fats, minerals (including zeolite 1%).
