JBP Pond Food Range
For the development of products for aquariums, terrariums and garden ponds it is important to start off with information about the animals’ way of life and habitats as a basis. As a reputable manufacturer with very high standards JBL does not rely on dubious reports from the internet or information from outdated literature. That’s why JBL runs its own research center, employing experienced scientists, and also organises annual research expeditions to the home areas of the aquarium and terrarium animals, so as to build up our knowledge first hand. We are pleased to offer both there seasonal specific and functional (i.e. growth, colour) based pond foods.
​
Winter
Natural, energy-optimised nutrition. Behind this new range of food lies the optimum ratio of proteins to fats in the food for the winter season. Looking at this season specifically, the fish would only need half as much protein in winter (2:1) as in summer (4:1).

​
Spring
With JBL ProPond spring food, although the food composition may seem the same as Autumn because spring and autumn have the same water temperatures and the proper protein/fat ratio is 3:1 however the purposes of the foods are very different and therefore also their composition: In spring the fish need to be made fit and pepped up after the stress of winter, to fend off spring viremia etc. In spring the fish become active again and may come to the water surface for feeding (this is your opportunity to check them for any diseases). That’s why the spring food floats

​
Summer
NEO intex literally means: natural, energy-optimised nutrition. Behind JBL Foods lies the ratio of proteins to fats in the food. Looking at this season alone, the fish would only need double as much protein in summer(4:1) as in winter(2:1). But because not only the season (meaning the water temperature), but also the size and age of the fish, and food function (e.g. growth food = ProPond Growt) play determining roles, the der NEO index has been developed to deal with all these factors in one

​
​
Autumn
although the water temperature and therfore correct protein to fat ratio for spring and autumn food is identical at 3:1, the food composition is totally different! In autumn, the fish are expected to live off their fat reserves to stay healthy through the coming winter. Furthermore there is the different sinking behaviour of the food: In autumn however the fish need to relax and eat at the bottom, Therefore the autumn food is designed to sink.

Fitness
The prebiotic ingredients of JBL ProPond Fitness provide ideal conditions for good health, even when the temperatures are varying wildly in times of seasonal change! The protein/fat ratio of 5:1 in the food helps your fish to compensate for their high metabolism without drawing on their energy reserves. This way they have enough energy to fight diseases and other issues.

Colour
JBL ProPond Color will bring out the colours of your fish and also make sure that the fish will retain their beautiful colours after purchase, because retailers generally feed this food to show off their fish in their most beautiful colours. It will also help younger fish (mostly two years old) to develop their colours properly when they are 3-5 years old. If you regularly feed your fish with ProPond Color their colours will show up more intensely, even at an older age.
