Product information

For fighting fish: JBL PRONOVO BETTA GRANO, JBL PRONOVO BETTA FLAKES, JBL PRONOVO BETTA INSECT
Fighting fish are actually peaceful aquarium inhabitants and get along with all fish that do not fit into their mouths. Only males of the same species fight 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, threadfish & paradise fish) live in both stagnant and flowing water. They are ambush predators, quickly darting out with their superior mouth to eat insects that land on the water surface etc. 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 harassed too much. The best-known species of fighting fish 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 fish hatch and are large enough to stand on their own feet or (better!) 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 as flakes or granulates forms the basic diet. There is a choice of three different types of food, PRONOVO BETTA FLAKES , PRONOVO BETTA GRANO and PRONOVO BETTA INSECTS. All three JBL fighting fish foods contain astaxanthin, which gives the fish vibrant colours. They are happiest with a few floating plants and a "weedy" aquarium setup.

FAQ
How long does the food keep after opening?

Please ensure you buy a packaging size suitable for your aquarium/terrarium/pond so that the quantity contained is used up within 4 months. Compare it with a tin of biscuits lying around for several months. When properly stored they are not necessarily soggy, but they are not quite as tasty as when the packet was opened. Therefore it is not advisable to use the food after this time.

The repeated opening and closing of the packaging brings the food into contact with bacteria and humidity over a longer storage period. Thus the quality of the premium food reduces continuously and this influences the vitamin content and the freshness of the food. For the benefit of your animals you always should feed them fresh food.

Diese kleinen Sticks sind bei meinen Bettas sehr beliebt. Sobald sie die Oberfläche berühren kommen die Bettas schnell an,um sie zu verspeisen. Ich kaufe sie immer wieder gerne :)

Mein Kampffisch war verrückt danach! Die Form erinnert an eine kleine Larve und imitiert somit Lebendfutter.

Auch weicht es im Wasser schnell etwas auf, damit es leicht zu verspeisen ist. Klasse!

Ich kann es nur empfehlen!

Bonjour

J'ai toujours était retissante à donner de la nourriture en granulés stick... A mon betta j'avais peur qu'il et tendance à gonfler et tombé malade.

Mais j'ai sauté le pas avec les pro novo insect mon betta se regale aucun gonflement de belle couleurs il a aussi de la nourriture congelé (dalphine, artemia...) et nourriture vivante au beau temps comme des vers de vase.....

Le produit coule se qu'il et bien pratique car chez d'autre marque tout reste en surface et le betta a du mal à les récupérer la le faite que ça coule le betta se précipite direct dessus et se régale

Meine größeren sind Trockenfutter gewöhnt und haben sich gleich drauf gestürzt aber selbst die kleinen Jungfische haben sich daran probiert was teilweise echt lustig aussieht.

Tatsächlich ist dieses Produkt sehr für Diskusfische zu empfehlen. Das natürliche Aussehen hat meine Tiere direkt überzeugt und sie sind ohne Gewöhnung ans Futter gegangen.

Unser Betta mag das Futter sehr gerne, die Futterteile sinken unterschiedlich schnell, in unserer Community ist die Neugierde groß und manche haben es auch schon ausprobiert.

Meine Kafis lieben es! Super wenn es mehr Abwechslung geben soll. Nicht nur Frost- oder Lebendfutter! Schmeckt ihnen genau so gut! Wenn nicht sogar besser. 😂

Fütter meinen Betta meist mit Frost oder Lebendfutter und bei normalen Trockenfutter dauert es immer bis er weiß was er damit machen soll, aber dieses Futter hat er sofort angenommen und wollte mehr haben.
