Product information

In the Rift Valley lakes of East Africa (Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika), many cichlids have specialised in grazing the algae growth from the rocks for the microorganisms living in them (growth eaters). In contrast, almost all remaining species live predatory lives and eat fish, microorganisms, shrimps and fish fry. Some even eat only the scales of other fish (Plecodus). JBL NovoTanganjika was developed for the predatory species of the two lakes. If both groups are kept together in ONE aquarium, it is essential you offer both types of food. Each feeding type will then receive the right food.

Typical predators of Lake Tanganyika: Lamprologus, Neolamprologus, Julidochromis, Cyphotilapia, Telmatochromis, Calinochromis Typical predators of Lake Malawi: Trematocranus, Haplochromis, Nimbochromis, Sciaenochromis, Labidochromis

Other good reasons to use JBL fish food:
The use of pure fish protein without cheap fish meal.
Optimal protein/fat ratio.
Mainly proteins from water animals.
Reduction of algae growth and optimal fish growth thanks to adapted phosphate content.
Impressive acceptance on the part of fish:
Research expeditions with fish feeding trials in the wild. Minimal vitamin loss thanks to airtight sealed packaging.

Feeding recommendation
Feed 1 - 2 times a day, as much as can be eaten within a few minutes. Young, still growing fish 3 - 4 times a day in the same way.

Unopened the food tins can be kept for 3 years, after opening use up within 4 months, since valuable vitamins will deteriorate. Choose the size of the tin (100 ml, 250 ml, 1 l, 5.5 l, 12.5 l) in accordance with the monthly consumption stated above and the number of the fish in the aquarium. Supplementary food and treats to complement complete food are available separately.

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.

Eine Abwechslung in der Ernährung von Buntbarschen ist immer wichtig und meiner Meinung nach lebenswichtig. Ich verwende dieses Futter zusammen mit anderen Produkten und ich muss sagen, dass meine Buntbarsche es vom ersten Moment an gerne angenommen haben.

Die Inhaltsstoffe sind gut ausgewogen.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).
