Description
Made in Germany
Granulated aquarium staple food for small cichlids from 3-10 cm
Contains 15% Shrimp, Very high acceptance, High quality nutrients
Prebiotic & sinking aquarium fish food: dedicated dietary fibres in the food supply the fish’s beneficial intestinal bacteria with food to ensure healthy digestion. This healthy digestion leads to less water pollution, i.e. clean water
Natural raw ingredients without artificial additives for a natural diet and healthy cichlids. Tested on JBL research expeditions in tropical biotopes
Small cichlids have a diverse food spectrum that depends on the respective biotope. They eat shrimps, micro-organisms, juvenile fish and also growth, depending on the season. This was taken into account in the composition of the food
With the very high-quality natural astaxanthin from krill and spirulina, which ensures perfect colour formation in cichlids such as the butterfly cichlid
Package contents: original sealed, air- and light-tight, recyclable tin with dosing aid in the lid
Why is it important to feed the fish species-appropriate?
Like humans, animals can survive on little food. Both humans and fish are very capable of suffering (unfortunate certainty).
Malnourished fish
But we aquarium friends have the well-being of our animals as our goal and not only want perfectly formed colors and healthy fish, but also offspring, so that fewer animals are taken from nature. The wild taking does not (proven) pose a threat to the fish species, but of course it is nicer when the number of species caught increases.
Probiotic or prebiotic – which is better?
Probiotic foods such as Some yoghurts, for example, contain live bacterial cultures that are said to promote health, but only when consumed in large quantities. Such foods, including probiotic fish food, can easily spoil and then do the opposite. Incidentally, the positive effect on health is quite controversial.
Pre- or prebiotics are “substrates that are used selectively by host microorganisms and provide a health benefit.” Scientists agree that they promote digestion and thus health. With our fish, there is another important aspect: Better digestion means that less is excreted and the water is less polluted, which means that the water stays cleaner and fewer algae problems arise. JBL adds selected yeasts to the PRONOVO feed types, which have been proven to stimulate the intestinal flora and thus have a prebiotic effect. It couldn’t be healthier!

Composition,
Feeding dwarf cichlids in SG with JBL ProNovo Cichlid Grano S
Small cichlids like apistogramma, rams, and kribensis are popular centrepieces in Singapore planted tanks, and they need a diet that respects their varied, mostly carnivorous appetite. These sinking granules are sized for fish in the 3-10cm range and drop to where these bottom-oriented feeders forage naturally, rather than floating out of reach. The shrimp content and natural astaxanthin help bring out the deep blues, reds, and yellows that make dwarf cichlids such striking display fish.
In the wild these fish pick at micro-organisms, small invertebrates, and growth on surfaces, and the recipe leans into that mix. Our warm 27-29C water keeps them active and feeding readily, so several modest feeds a day suit them better than one large drop. The prebiotic fibre supports digestion, which keeps waste down, a real benefit in the smaller heavily planted tanks these cichlids are usually kept in.
It sits in our fish food range. To pair it with the right fish, see our apistogramma care guide and cichlid care guides, and our dwarf cichlid aquascape guide helps you build a layout that draws their colours out.
