There is hardly a fish that does not eat insects and/or shrimps in nature! Only some highly specialized fish species, such as scale-eaters in freshwater (Plecodus straelini) or coral polyp-eaters in seawater (many butterflyfishes) do not eat insects or shrimps. However, if they are offered them in the aquarium, they often accept this food. All other fish species eat insects directly or indirectly (e.g. insect larvae in algae turf) and/or shrimps. For many fish, this is even reflected in the name of their diet and they are referred to as "insectivores". The famous archerfish, which spits insects off leaves, is perhaps the best known example!

JBL has therefore taken insects much more into account in the food compositions of the JBL PRONOVO range, but of course only if the fish target group has insects in its food spectrum. Mixing insects into EVERY fish food for fashion reasons makes no sense! JBL PRONOVO INSECT is now available for the targeted feeding of insects to your fish!

Whole insects or insect larvae as fish food?

Now we can easily imagine that we should not process large beetles as insect fish food. The chitin content of their shells would be far too high! Mealworms would be easy to obtain - but contain too much fat. The search for the "ideal" insect led to soldier flies (Hermetia illucens, Black Soldier Fly abbreviated = BSF), but as larvae. Larvae have 12 times the nutritional value of adults and a consistent composition. Soldier flies are bred on a large scale and do not have to be taken from nature. As the larvae feed on animal and plant protein, their composition is perfect for fish. The protein of the larvae is characterized by a high concentration of vitamins, a high biological value (amino acids) and very good digestibility.
