In the rift lakes of East Africa (Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika), many cichlids have specialized in grazing algae growth—along with the microorganisms living within it—off the rocks (herbivorous algae grazers). JBL PRONOVO MALAWI was developed for these species.
In contrast, almost all other species in both lakes are predatory and feed on fish, microorganisms, shrimp, and fish fry. Some even feed exclusively on the scales of other fish (Plecodus). JBL PRONOVO TANGANYIKA was developed for the predatory species of both lakes. If both groups are kept together in ONE aquarium, it is essential to provide both types of food. This ensures that each dietary type receives the food that is right for it.

Typical predators from Lake Tanganyika: Lamprologus, Neolamprologus, Julidochromis, Cyphotilapia, Telmatochromis, Chalinochromis
Typical predators from Lake Malawi: Trematocranus, Haplochromis, Nimbochromis, Sciaenochromis, Labidochromis

Advantages of JBL food varieties:
Use of pure fish protein without cheap fish meal.
Optimal protein-to-fat ratio.
Primarily proteins from aquatic animals.
Reduced algae growth and optimal fish growth thanks to an adjusted phosphate content.
Prebiotic: Prebiotics are “substrates that are selectively utilized by host microorganisms and confer a health benefit.” Scientists agree that they promote digestion and, consequently, health. For our fish, there is another key benefit: Better digestion results in less waste being excreted, which reduces the load on the water, leading to fewer algae problems and keeping the water cleaner.

Since the vast majority of cichlids kept from Lake Tanganyika are predatory, the food for predatory species was named PRONOVO TANGANYIKA. Since most cichlids kept in aquariums from Lake Malawi are filter feeders, JBL has named this food PRONOVO MALAWI.
