FAQ
When should Catappa leaves be re-dosed?

The effect of JBL Catappa XL and Nano-Catappa unfolds completely after 1-3 weeks. Shrimps and catfish in particular also like to use the leaf as a food source and nibble at it. Once the leaf is a mere skeleton to the eye, it needs to be removed and re-dosed.

Finde das man JBL Nano-Catappa in jedem Becken super einsetzen kann.

Nicht nur werden hier auf natürliche Weise Keime beseitigt sonder es ist zugleich ein tolles Futter für Schnecken und Garnelen.

Prima Dauerfutter im Garnelenbecken. Man kann nicht "überfüttern", die Tiere mögen die Blätter und obendrein ists auch noch gut für die Wasserwerte

Ein natürlicher Wasseraufbereiter den wir gern in unserem Aquarium nutzen.

Welse, Schnecken und Garnelen fressen sogar die Seemandelbaumblätter.

We all know the benefits of catalpa leaf, those ones are clean, so you can use them directly no need to clean

Ho preferito questo piuttosto che la Catappa XL per via del mio acquario che non richiede grandi volumi o quantità di prodotti essendo un 60litri.

È un prodotto a mio parere molto importante per la vitalità dei propri pesci e che non deve assolutamente mancare in casa.

Le foglie sono ben preparate e lavorate. Aprendo la confezione, non ci si ritrova davanti a delle foglie sbriciolate o rovinate.

Pflicht in all meinen Becken! Da ich eher kleinere Schwarzwasserbecken habe, sind die Nano Blätter von der Größe ansolut perfekt, denn im ganzen wirken sie neben ihren guten Effekten noch sehr dekorativ und bieten meinen kleineren Tieren optimale Verstecke.

Für die Aufzucht kleiner L-Welse nicht wegzudenken!!

Wir sind der SauerlaenderWelskeller und betreiben eine kleine aber feine L- Welszucht mit vielen verschiedenen, auch seltenen L- Welsen wie z.B. dem L46 oder dem L333, L236, L354, L600 usw.

Wir benutzen die Nano Catappa Seemandelbaumblätter für die Aufzucht unserer L-Welse. Hierfür entnimmt man ein Blatt und reißt es in die passende Größe. Danach legt man das Blatt in den Aufzuchtkasten,wie z.B. Baby Home Oxygen oder Baby Home proAir. Das Blatt sinkt nach ein paar Tagen auf den Boden des Einhängekastens. Die kleinen L-Welse ernähren sich davon und es beugt so gerade in der Anfangszeit eingefallenen Bäuchen vor. Außerdem stärkt es das Wohlbefinden der Tiere und hällt die Keimdichte im Aquarium bzw. Einhängekasten niedrig. Das Blatt ist rein biologisch und wird mit der Zeit komplett verwertet.

Wir werden auch in Zukunft immer wieder auf die Nano Catappa Seemandelbaumblätter bei der Aufzucht unserer L-Welse zurückgreifen!

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

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).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.
