JBL PRONOVO GUPPY GRANO S 250ml CLICK

Optimal food for livebearing toothcarps

The wonderful variety of livebearing toothcarp, including guppies, black mollies, platies, sail carp, gambusia and swordtails, requires a diet that is as varied as it is balanced. These lively and colorful fish are known for their ability to give birth to live young and their less picky nature when it comes to food. In their natural environment, their diet consists mainly of insects, insect larvae and algae, making them true opportunists when it comes to eating.

When choosing between flake and granulated food, both forms offer their own advantages. While flake food is often prized for its easy accessibility and rapid distribution in the water, granular food allows for consistent and controlled feeding, particularly suitable for use with automatic feeders such as the JBL AutoFood. Regardless of the form, it is important to start an adaptation to the chosen food in good time to ensure a smooth transition for your fish.

The debate between probiotic and prebiotic foods is also important. While probiotic feed options contain live cultures that can provide health benefits in large quantities, they tend to spoil more quickly. Prebiotics, on the other hand, selectively promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the fish's digestive tract, supporting healthy digestion and thereby contributing to lower water pollution and fewer algae problems. This diet not only supports the health of your fish, but also the quality of your aquarium water.

Rendo Shrimp recommends a balanced diet that is tailored to the natural feeding habits of livebearing toothcarp to maximize their health, colourfulness and vitality. Whether flake, granular or special prebiotic food, we offer you a selection that meets the needs of your aquarium inhabitants and at the same time contributes to the purity and balance of your water.
