Livebearing toothcarps (Poecilidae):

Guppies, black mollies, platies, sail carp, gambusia, swordtails and some others belong to the group of livebearing toothcarps. What they all have in common is that they give birth to live young and do not lay eggs like most other fish species. In the wild, livebearers eat insects, insect larvae, algae and anything else they can eat - they are not picky. Depending on the habitat, algae and the small animals living in it often form the largest part of their food spectrum.

Flakes or granules?

In all honesty: it's a kind of question of faith! There are only a few arguments for or against the type of feeder. If you use an automatic feeder such as the JBL AutoFood, you MUST choose granulated food, as almost all automatic feeders are only suitable for granules. If an automatic feeder is due on your next vacation, get your fish used to the granules from the feeder RIGHT AWAY. Some fish actually find it difficult to switch from granules to flakes or vice versa. Imagine that you have always eaten soft cornflakes and are now getting wholemeal muesli for the first time.

Probiotic or prebiotic?

Probiotic foods, such as some types of yogurt, contain live bacterial cultures to promote health, but only when consumed in large quantities. Such foods, including probiotic fish food, can easily spoil and then have the opposite effect. The positive effect on health is controversial.

Prebiotics or prebiotics are "substrates that are selectively used by host microorganisms and provide health benefits." Scientists agree that they promote digestion and therefore health. Better digestion results in less excretion and therefore less pollution of the water, which keeps the water cleaner and reduces algae problems.
