Product information

Animal welfare is important to us
No processing of cheap fish meal, uses fish meat from fish fillet production with the motto: The large fillet for humans and the small fillet for our aquarium fish.
For years JBL has supported the largest international organisation for the protection of sharks “Shark Project”.

Other good reasons to use JBL fish food:
- The use of pure fish protein without cheap fish meal
- Optimal protein/fat ratio
- Mainly proteins from water animals
- Reduction of algae growth and optimum fish growth thanks to adapted phosphate content
- Impressive acceptance on the part of fish: research expeditions with fish feeding trials in the wild
- Very slight vitamin loss due to airtight sealed packaging

Ahead through research
The results of the JBL research expeditions, combined with the expertise of the JBL research and development team, has resulted in optimal and balanced food mixtures made of high-quality ingredients.

Feeding recommendation
Feed 1 – 2 times a day, as much as can be eaten within a few minutes. Young, growing fish 3 – 4 times a day in the same way.

Unopened the food tins can be kept for 3 years, after opening use up within 4 months, since valuable vitamins will deteriorate. Choose the size of the tin (100 ml, 250 ml, 1 l, 5.5 l, 10.5 l) in accordance with the monthly consumption stated above and the number of the fish in the aquarium. Complements complete food and available separately: supplementary food and treats.

FAQ
How long does the food keep after opening?

Please ensure you buy a packaging size suitable for your aquarium/terrarium/pond so that the quantity contained is used up within 4 months. Compare it with a tin of biscuits lying around for several months. When properly stored they are not necessarily soggy, but they are not quite as tasty as when the packet was opened. Therefore it is not advisable to use the food after this time.

The repeated opening and closing of the packaging brings the food into contact with bacteria and humidity over a longer storage period. Thus the quality of the premium food reduces continuously and this influences the vitamin content and the freshness of the food. For the benefit of your animals you always should feed them fresh food.

Ich muss wirklich sagen, dass meine Fische generell alle Futtersorten von JBL sehr gut annehmen. Einfach die passende Sorte wählen und die Fische glücklich machen. Für mich mit das beste Futter abgesehen von Lebendfutter.

Das ist super Futter, alle Fischen liebes und wollen nur das Essen. Die sind kanns verrückt danach, alles andere Futter hat da keine Schonksen gegen diesen Tollen Futter. Meine Skalar wollen gar nix anderes haben. Das gebe ich den schon seit Jahren.

Kann ich empfehlen zu holen.

To me it felt like a standard flake food. The size of this package is great as flake foods can last for such a long time, no big bottle necessary. Gourami’s, Danio’s and Gian Hatchetfish seem to be much interested!

Ich setze beim Futter auf Abwechslung, daher gibt es für unsere Tiere vor allem verschiedenes Lebendfutter (mein Liebling dazu: das ArtemioSet!) und seit kurzem habe ich PlanktonPur entdeckt. Aber auch NovoBel wird hier gerne angenommen und mein Urlaubsbetreuer muss sich damit nicht mit meinen aufwendigeren Dingen herumschlagen, während ich kein schlechtes Gewissen den Tieren gegenüber habe!

Obwohl es ein Hauptfutter ist, füttere ich das Novo Bel als Zwischenmahlzeit meiner kleinen Diskus. Das einzige Futter was neben Frostfutter überhaupt während der Aufzucht angenommen wird. Top Einstieg ins Trockenfutter und eine super Ergänzung in der Aufzucht. Für mich 5 Sterne!

Klasse Futter... kenne und nutze ich seit Jahren für fast alle Fische... und selbst die "Trantüten" unter denen lieben es... sinkt nicht zu schnell ab und die "ewig kauenden" nehmen es auch sehr gern... (und wenn mal doch etwas überbleiben sollte, was extremst selten passiert, haut es wenigstens nicht so böse auf die Wasserwerte...)

malawi_aquaristic - German

Super Futter! Die Fische haben es sofort angenommen und fressen es sehr gerne. Zudem trübt es das Wasser nicht.

Kann ich jedem weiterempfehlen!

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.
