JBL Propond NEO Index The new JBL Propond food is the only physiological - nutritional concept on the market. Even if your pond fish are always hungry and greedily eat any food they can get, it is important to get to grips with the subject of the correct nutrition. Which factors are really important? It is not enough to select a food which is appropriate for the season. Proper nutrition needs to provide energy at the right time and in the right place. JBL's scientists have summarised all these factors in an index, that they named the NEO INDEX ( natural, energy-optimised nutrition). For the first time ever, JBL pond foods will give you over 100 articles which are created on the basis of the following criteria: animal size, age, function and water temperature, along with the corresponding protein / fat ratio. The Influence of the Fish SpeciesSturgeons body shape indicates their way of life: They swim near the bottom and use their barbels (chemosensor organ) to feel for small invertebrates, which they would eat in the wild. JBL Propond Sterlet has been adapted to suit these feeding habits, both in its composition (increased share of invertebrates) and in its sinking behaviour. Even if sturgeons can learn to feed at the water surface, this feeding behaviour doesn't represent their natural behaviour and increases the risk of excessive air swallowing. Sturgeons should always be fed with their own food because it has a dedicated composition and the sturgeons could hurt the koi's mucous membrane with their bone plates when fighting for their food. In practice, you can feed your goldfish and koi on the surface in one corner of the pond and your sturgeons with sinking sturgeon food at the other end.Price:£73.99 |
