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 loaches in SG with JBL ProNovo Botia Tab M

Loaches are easy to underfeed because they forage at the bottom after lights-out, often missing flakes that floated away long before they emerged. These sinking spirulina tabs solve that neatly: drop them in at dusk and they settle on the substrate where botias, kuhli loaches, and hillstream loaches actually graze. You can also press a tab onto the front glass to watch them work, which is half the fun of keeping these busy fish.

The spirulina content suits the more vegetable-leaning grazers like hillstream loaches, while the shrimp and salmon keep protein-hungry botias satisfied. In our 27-29C tanks loaches stay active and hungry, so a tab a night for a small group works well, adjusted to what is cleared by morning. Good digestion means less waste settling into the fine substrate these fish love to sift through.

You will find it in our fish food range. Match the food to your fish with our hillstream loach care guide and clown loach care guide, and if you are planning their home, our loach tank aquascape guide covers the layout they thrive in.
