The biological species concept for ornamental fish:
In addition to a staple food such as JBL PRONOVO BEL for community aquariums, your fish can also be fed with foods from the JBL PRONOVO species concept. Within the species concept, you can add food specifically suitable for particular fish species or select alternatives for the main food. It’s no problem if, for example, your fighting fish also eats the food for your characins and vice versa. It is only important that you offer the right food for each group of fish. Variety is always good!

Would you like your neons, armored catfish and others to feed on the absolute best food? No problem: in the JBL species concept you will find bite-sized granulates for neons (and other small characins) whose composition is precisely adapted to the needs of the fish, including insects: the JBL PRONOVO NEON. In their natural habitats in South America, neons live in very nutrient-poor blackwater biotopes and are dependent on small bite-sized plankton. Armored catfish, on the other hand, live on the ground and have a different food spectrum. The JBL PRONOVO CORYDORAS (Corydoras = scientific name of the armored catfish genera) contains the appropriate raw materials, such as shrimps and spirulina. Armored catfish need a varied diet for healthy nutrition. Shrimps are representative of all small animal organisms including carrion, which the armored catfish feel on the ground with their barbels.

The right food size:
A very important aspect of correct feeding is the right food size for the mouth. It is especially important with small fish species that the animals get the food morsels into their mouths, as they cannot bite pieces off. If you are unsure of two food sizes, always choose the smaller one. Predatory fish species cope much better with larger food chunks, as "too large" food chunks are also included in their food spectrum.
