Product information

Revolution in fish nutrition
Every fish lives off the plankton passing by in its natural habitat. JBL has managed to preserve pure arctic plankton straight after the fresh catch without using any artificial preservatives. That’s how fresh plankton can be fed to aquarium fish.

Further reasons to use JBL PlanktonPur:
High quality and gentle processing.
High liquid portion of 80 – 90% remains in the plankton.
Avoidance of preservatives but nevertheless preserved by means of heat process.
Up to 100% higher survival rate in fish breeding .
Up to 100% higher growth rate in juvenile fish.
A 3.5 times higher stress tolerance.
Enhancement of colour and well-being of the fish.
A 50% reduction of unwanted pattern in colouration.
An 18 times reduction of the bacterial density of the dangerous Vibrio species, compared to food enriched with Artemia nauplii.

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 x daily with one stick. 2 g sticks supply an aquarium with up to 200 l.

Unopened the sticks can be kept for 3 years. Choose the size of the sticks (S or M) in accordance with the above stated consumption.

FAQ
How do I feed PlanktonPur properly?

There is one simple way to feed PlanktonPur which solves all problems: simply open the stick, hold it upside down in the current in front the filter outlet and repeatedly press out its contents. The opening of the stick is under water so it should empty completely and be distributed in the current.

I have an unpacked stick – what can I do with it?

We recommend you feed the stick as one portion. The unpacked stick is not intended to be stored. In case the feeding had to be interrupted, the open stick needs to be stored cool (4 – 7 °C) in an airtight container. The unpacked stick may not be stored longer than 24 hours. Check, before feeding it again, whether it still retains its distinctive product-specific smell. If not, the stick has possibly gone off and needs to be disposed off before it can harm the aquarium dwellers.

What does “S” and “M” on PlanktonPur refer to?

S and M refer to the size of the food contained. No distinction is intended between the freshwater and saltwater range. Both products are optimally suited for both freshwater and saltwater.

Can I feed a single stick over several days?

1 stick = 1 meal for your fish.
We have optimally adjusted the food quantity in the sticks to the daily portion of the appropriate and stated tank size.

Do I have to store PlanktonPur in a cool place?

No, due to the special manufacturing method and the single wrapping of the sticks it is possible to store PlanktonPure without any loss in quality at room temperature.

Even when snow storms are raging above the water, with temperatures of up to -50 °C, plankton is blossoming under the ice as if it’s spring. But the metre-thick layer of ice means it’s still too early to collect it. Once JBL has sold the last PlanktonPur stocks, no new plankton can be harvested until June.

ein kleiner Nachtrag zu meiner vorherigen Bewertung. Ich benutze weiterhin dieses Futter und bin zu 100% auf dieses Futter umgestiegen da ich EXTREM wie bereits auf meinem Instagram Kanal gezeigt, begeistert bin. Das Futter funktioniert einfach... Ich habe sehr Futter empfindliche Fische wie Dario Dario und Goldringelgrundeln. Sogar mit Frostfutter gab es hier Schwierigkeiten.. Sie schauen sich das Frostfutter an und wenden sich dann ab.. mit dem Plankton PUR ist es anders.. bereits bei der ersten Fütterung sind sie sofort an das Futter gegangen. Für mich mit abstand die beste alternative zu Lebendfutter und wenn es um die Einfachheit geht ...unschlagbar.

10/10

This product is very appreciated by my killies, cherry barbs and fighter but personally as a cleaner of this aquarium I don't like it too much. Indeed, I dumped the inside of the sachet directly into the aquarium without taking any precautions. The whole meal spilled everywhere and was sucked into the pump. I cleaned my pump as best I could but I had a nitrite peak. I redid a test, putting the contents in a small container and then I turned off the pump, and then using pliers I gave directly in front of the mouth of the fish. it's perfect.

Great great product! My fish loved this! Especially the Gourami’s, Kuhli loaches and tetras were eager for it. I was using halve a bags instead of the full bag. In my opinion it would be too much in one go. I love how pulverized this product compared to the regular flakes foods. I have also fed tiny bits to my shrimps tanks to see how they reacted. They did eat it overtime, but they didn’t seem super eager for it.
