Autumn Feeding – Preparing your Pond Fish for the Winter

If you take the right steps now your fish will survive the winter, the low water temperatures and the ice cover on your pond, and stay fit and healthy. They even will be spared the dreaded spring viraemia. Therefore the most important preventive measure is to take a bit of care while feeding your fish in autumn!

After you have fed your fish in spring and summer with floating food, the JBL PROPOND AUTUMN M

will sink to the bottom. This means they can continue to unwind for the winter without needing to exert themselves unnecessarily for feeding at the water surface.

The autumn water temperatures slowly sink from 20 to 10 °C. Because these water temperatures are identical to these in spring, the protein/fat ratio of the spring and autumn food with 3:1 is also the same (NEO index). But the food ingredients have been specially adapted to fit the very different intention and swimming behaviour: the protein content has been raised to 28 % and the fat content to 10 % so that the animals can build up their energy reserves. Instead of spirulina, as in spring, they now receive fish oil to build up their energy reserves. Instead of corn they are given easily digestible wheat in autumn. With this food the fish receive significantly more energy than their metabolism needs; it is the exact opposite of a diet. The feeding quantity for all JBL ProPond foods is indicated on the side of the bag: 5 koi with a body length of 15 to 35 cm for instance need between 7 and 24 g per day. Only when the water temperature drops below 15 °C should you add winter food, and when it sinks below 10 °C you can completely switch to feeding JBL ProPond Winter. But for now enjoy the beautiful autumn time and don’t forget to get your fish ready for the winter.

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.
