Product information

Spirulina are blue-green algae, of which some species, such as the S. platensis processed here, have ideal protein contents for feeding ornamental fish. By the way, the spirulina content of 20 % in JBL PRONOVO SPIRULINA food is perfect - more would not be healthy for the fish! The natural astaxanthin (a carotene) in the algae causes the beautiful colouring 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 yoghurt, contain live bacterial cultures to promote health, but only when 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, by the way, quite controversial.
Prebiotics are "substrates that are selectively used by host microorganisms and confer health benefits." Scientists are agreed on this 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 the water is thus less polluted, causing fewer algae problems and keeping the water cleaner.

Flakes or granulate?
To be honest, it’s absolutely a matter of opinion! There are only a few arguments for or against the type of food. If you use an automatic feeder like the JBL AutoFood, you MUST choose granulated food, as almost all automatic feeders are only suitable for granulates. If you’re planning to use an automatic feeder for your next holiday, get your fish used to the granulated food from the automatic feeder IN GOOD TIME. Some fish actually find it a little difficult to switch from granulate to flake or vice versa. Imagine you have always eaten soft cornflakes and now you’re given wholemeal muesli for the first time.

PRONOVO WORLD TRIP - Visiting the cichlids from Lake Tanganyika Part 2

Let us now turn to the growth eaters from Lake Tanganyika. They are characterised by a wide, (mostly) inferior mouth equipped with lots of small teeth. With this "rasping tool", many of the endemic (only living there) cichlids have specialised in grazing the algae growth off the rocks, along with all the micro-organisms living within it.

Sehr zu empfehlen. Meine Malawi Mbuna Buntbarsche haben es sofort angenommen. Das Futter ist dank des Deckels leicht zu dosieren und trübt das Wasser nicht. Sehr gut!

I'm using the Novo "series" for some time now and I have to admit that I'm positive impressed by how acceptable this kind of food is from my fishes. Added to this does not affect the parameters of the water and keeps it clean. The Novo spirulina isn't an exception.
