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!

Feeding discus in Singapore with JBL ProNovo Bits Grano S

Discus are among the most demanding cichlids we sell, and they reward keepers who get the diet right with deep colour and that famous disc-shaped body. These sinking granules are pitched at fish in the 3-10cm range and bring it down to the substrate where discus naturally feed, head-down, rather than asking them to chase floating food. The shrimp content and natural astaxanthin support the rich reds and oranges show keepers chase.

Discus do best in warm, soft, slightly acidic water, and Singapore’s naturally soft tap supply gives local keepers a genuine head start on the water chemistry side. The flip side is that warm tanks process protein-heavy food into waste quickly, so frequent small feeds and tight maintenance keep nitrate in check. The prebiotic fibre here helps digestion, meaning cleaner output and steadier water between changes for a fish that hates pollution.

It lives in our fish food range. To get the rest of the picture right, read our discus care guide and the discus water parameters guide, and if you want a planted home for them, see our planted discus aquascape walkthrough.
