Product information

Red blood worms are the ideal food for strengthening fish. Larvae of the chironomids (nonbiting midges) sometimes occur in masses and form a main food source for very many fish species in the wild. They are NOT the larvae of mosquitoes (Culicidae)!

Ideally you should find a staple food for your ornamental fish, e.g. JBL PRONOVO BEL and supplement it with a second staple food such as JBL PRONOVO COLOR. In addition, use alternating treats and supplements such as JBL PRONOVO SPIRULINA or JBL PRONOVO FIL, FEX, DAPH or ARTEMIO. This ensures a varied diet for the fish in your care.

Food size/mouth size:
It may sound obvious, but it is important that the food size fits the mouth size of the fish. Not all fish are able to bite off larger chunks of food. The fish size to which the food size fits is written on all JBL food tins at the bottom left of the front of the labels.

There is hardly a freshwater fish that will not eat red blood worms unless they are too big for its mouth (e.g. the neon tetra). East African cichlids from Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika should NEVER be fed red mosquito larvae. For reasons still unknown, they do not tolerate red mosquito larvae. White or black mosquito larvae, on the other hand, do not pose any problems for the cichlids from the two lakes.

Das Futter wurde sehr gut von meinen Blutsalmlern und den größeren Neons angenommen. Für Nanofische wird es schwierig mit der Größe, aber hierfür ist es ja auch nicht gedacht.^^

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.
