FAQs

What is zooplankton?

Zooplankton refers to tiny, free-floating aquatic animals. In this product, it is sourced from small organisms found in the Arctic waters.

Why is it a 'sinking' food?

The food is formulated to sink, making it ideal for fish that feed from the middle to the bottom of the aquarium, ensuring food reaches them efficiently.

How long does the food stay fresh after opening?

While the special preservation method keeps it fresh, it is recommended to use opened packs within a few weeks for optimal quality. Always reseal tightly.

Can this food be used for all types of aquarium fish?

It is suitable for most small to medium-sized freshwater and marine fish, especially those that feed in the mid-water or on the substrate. Surface feeders may not readily consume sinking food.

What does '100% zooplankton' mean for my fish?

It means the food consists solely of these natural aquatic organisms, offering a pure and highly digestible source of protein and energy without fillers.

How does the temperature preservation method work?

This method uses temperature control during production to preserve the food's freshness without the need for chemical preservatives.

What is the benefit of reduced fish excrement?

Less undigested food leads to less waste, which means cleaner aquarium water, reduced ammonia production, and less strain on your filtration system.

Troubleshooting

Fish are not eating the food

Ensure the food is fresh and hasn't expired. Some fish may need a short acclimation period to new foods. Try offering it at a different time of day or with less other food available.

Food is clouding the water

Feed only the amount your fish can consume within a few minutes. Remove any uneaten food after 5-10 minutes. Ensure your aquarium's filtration system is adequate.

Fish appear less active after feeding

This may indicate overfeeding. Reduce the portion size and frequency. The high protein content requires fish to have adequate digestion time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Natural and high-quality ingredients
  • Excellent protein source for fish health
  • Reduces water pollution due to high digestibility
  • Convenient and easy to portion
  • No artificial preservatives
  • Suitable for both freshwater and marine setups

Cons

  • Sinking food may not be suitable for obligate surface feeders
  • Limited to zooplankton, may require supplementary foods for complete nutrition
  • Packaging, while preserving freshness, creates individual waste

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

JBL PRONOVO PLANKTON is compatible with all small to medium-sized fish in both freshwater and marine aquariums. It is an excellent supplement for species that benefit from high-protein diets and tend to feed in the mid-water column or near the substrate.

Feeding Instructions:

Feed 1-2 times daily, only as much as the fish consume within a few minutes. Due to the sinking nature of the food, ensure it reaches the appropriate feeding zone for your fish.

Storage & Care:

Store unopened packs in a cool, dry place. Once opened, reseal the packaging tightly and use the contents within a reasonable timeframe to maintain freshness. While the preservation method is advanced, it is always best to use opened food relatively quickly. Avoid exposing the food to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
