Product information

In the Rift Valley lakes of East Africa (Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika), many cichlids have adapted to graze the algae growth from the rocks for the microorganisms living in them (herbivorous growth eaters). JBL PRONOVO MALAWI was developed for these species.
In contrast, almost all remaining species in both lakes live predatory lives and eat fish, microorganisms, shrimps and fish fry. Some even eat only the scales of other fish (Plecodus). JBL JBL PRONOVO TANGANYIKA was developed for the predatory species. 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

Advantages of JBL foods:
Use of pure fish protein without cheap fish meal.
Optimum protein/fat ratio.
Mainly proteins from aquatic animals.
Reduction of algae growth and optimal fish growth due to adapted phosphate content.
Prebiotic: 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.

As the majority of cichlids cultivated from Lake Tanganyika are predators, we have named the food for predatory species PRONOVO TANGANYIKA. Since most of the species cultivated from Lake Malawi are growth eaters, JBL has named this food PRONOVO MALAWI.

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.

Meine Fische haben dieses neue Futter sofort angenommen und fressen es sehr gerne! Es trübt das Wasser nicht und lässt sich dank des Deckels super dosieren. Ich kann es jedem Malawi Aquarianer empfehlen!

Unsere Malawis fressen diese Futterflocken sehr gern. Man kann es Dank der Dosierkammern die im Deckel der Dose sind gut auf die Anzahl der Fische im Aquarium anpassen.

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.
