PRONOVO TAB M
  • Complete nutrition and ideal growth for all freshwater fish. Also ideal for bottom dwellers like armored catfish
  • Optimal protein/fat ratio for healthy fish: ideal feeding conditions for fish species from 3 to 20 cm in all water layers. Food tablets stick to the aquarium glass, fish can be observed during feeding

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.

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) 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.

Meine Panzerwelse, meine Elliots Buntbarsche und mein L204 fressen sehr gerne die JBL NovoTab Futtertabletten.

Die Futtertabletten werden von meinen Fischen immer restlos verputzt :-)

Nachdem ich diese Futtertabletten das erste mal genutzt hatte war für klar das für mich keine anderen mehr in Frage kommen. Da die NovaTap eine glatte Oberfläche haben lassen diese sich gut an der Scheibe kleben, eine gute Beschäftigungtherapie für meine Bunten. Aber auch meine Welse lieben die NovaTap und können garnicht genug davon bekommen.

Die Futtertabletten lösen sich sehr langsam auf und Trüben das Wasser nicht.

Kann ich mit guten Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

LG

Meiner Meinung nach, sind die JBL NOVO TAB die besten Futtertabletten auf dem Markt. Es stimmt einfach alles und mir fällt nichts ein, was verbessert werden könnte...

->Die Tabletten sind sehr formstabil und lösen sich nicht zu schnell auf, dadurch verschwindet nicht die Hälfte des Futters im Boden, bevor es überhaupt gefressen wird. So werden faulige stellen im Bodengrund vermieden.

->Die Tabletten haben eine glatte Oberfläche - dadurch kann man sie wunderbar an die Scheibe kleben. Dadurch hat man die Möglichkeit alle seine Fische an die Scheibe zu locken um tolle Fotos zu machen.

-->Die Tabletten werden von allen Fischen wunderbar angenommen (egal ob Wels, Salmler oder Lebendgebärende Zahnkarpfen).

Viele Grüße

JBL Novo Tab sind Futter Tabletten die das Wasser nicht eintrüben und sogar an der Aquarien Scheibe haften! Meine L Welse bekommen jeden Abend 2 Tabletten als Zugabe ( Snack) mit ins Becken, aber auch meine Neons und Rotkopfsalmler Schwärme bekommen eine im oberen Bereich an die Scheibe geheftet, da es am Bodengrund durch meine Welse und Flossensauger völlig Eskaliert 😂! Die Futter Tab sind geeignet für Fische von 3-20 cm. Natürlich bekommen meine Tiere auch diverse andere Futter Sorten von JBL, aber die Tabs gibt es speziell zum Abend wenn die Welse die überwiegend Nacht Aktiv sind auf Nahrungssuche gehen.

Liebe Grüße aus Hessen Andy

Die Besten Tabs für unsere L- Welse!!!

Wir sind der SauerlaenderWelskeller und betreiben eine kleine aber feine L- Welszucht mit vielen verschiedenen, auch seltenen L- Welsen wie z.B. dem L46 oder dem L333, L236, L354, L600 usw. Unsere Tiere fressen die Novo Tabs besonders gerne.

Ich schmeiße diese zu den Fütterungszeiten einfach in das Aquarium in die Reichweite der Verstecke der Tiere. Es dauert dann nicht lange und sie machen sich gierig über die Tabs her.

Sollten jedoch einmal ein paar Tabsreste übrig bleiben, da sich die Welse satt gefressen haben, fressen die Schnecken die Reste auf und das Wasser des Aquariums bleibt sauber.

Man kann auch Jungwelse mit den Novo Tabs zur Aufzucht füttern. Hierbei viertel ich die Tabs und passe die Menge den Tieren an. Die Novo Tabs lassen sich auch gut mörsern und man kann dann seine Jungfische damit füttern.

Zu guter Letzt kann ich nur so viel sagen, das ich die Novo Tabs wärmstens weiterempfehlen kann!

Liebe Grüße

Stephanie vom SauerlaenderWelskeller

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.
