JBL TV #72 Shrimps & crabs in the aquarium I Profile

Shrimps and other crustaceans are very popular aquarium inhabitants. However, as they are invertebrates, there are some special features compared to fish that must be taken into account. Their sensitivity to copper is the most important issue here. But they also have special dietary requirements, which are not a problem with the right food. The water temperature, which can vary greatly, is also important. Shrimps and snails from Sulawesi require almost 30 °C, while the popular bee shrimps and many other species come from cool waters with temperatures of around 23 °C.

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.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
