PRONOVO GUPPY FLAKES S
100ml
Viviparous cyprinodontiforms (Poecilidae)
Guppy, Black molly, Platy, Yucatan molly, gambusie, swordtail and others belong to the Poecilidae group. What they all have in common is that they give birth to fry instead of laying eggs like most other fish. In the wild they feed on insects, insect larvae, algae and anything edible – they are not picky eaters. Depending on the habitat, algae where small animals live make up the majority of their food spectrum.
Flakes or granules?
Honestly, it's a matter of opinion! There are very few arguments for or against this type of feed. If you use an automatic feeder like JBL AutoFood, you MUST choose granulated feed, as almost all automatic feeders are only suitable for granules. If you plan to use an automatic feeder for your next holiday, accustom your fish to granulated food from the automatic feeder WELL IN ADVANCE. Some fish find it particularly difficult to switch from granulated to flaked food and vice versa. Imagine that you have always eaten cornflakes, and for the first time you are only given wholemeal musli.
Probiotics or prebiotics?
Probiotic foods, such as some types of yogurt, contain cultures of live bacteria to promote health, but only when consumed in large quantities. These foods, including probiotic fish foods, can spoil easily and then have the opposite effect. Whether they have a positive effect on health, among other things, is controversial. Prebiotics are “substrates that host microorganisms selectively utilize for health benefits.” Researchers are unanimous on their usefulness for digestion and consequently for health. With better digestion there is less excrement, less polluted water, fewer algae problems. The water stays cleaner.
