Variety in the aquarium

Quantum leap in fish feedingUsing Dennerle's biologically balanced food varieties, aquarists can feed their fish in future following nature's example, says the company. Dennerle's new motto in the development of the new ornamental fish food is "Fish are friends - not food". For this reason the company does not use any fish meal, which it says normally forms part of other industrially produced food varieties. No preservatives are used either. The new fish food is based on a combination of prebiotics and probiotics. The only newly licensed lactic acid culture in Europe at present, "pediococcus acidilactici", is intended to optimise the food composition.www.dennerle.deInnovative aquarium filterFlamingo has brought out the Sturgeon phase filter, which ensures fresh water by mechanical, biological and chemical means for the aquarium. It can simply be suspended on the edge of the aquarium. The ceramic granules absorb microorganisms, according to the company, while the active carbon eliminates odours and impurities and the zeolites remove ammonia. The sponge filters out larger impurities. The Sturgeon filters up to 180 l of water per hour, with the larger variant filtering up to 340 l. The innovative filter cartridge ensures that one's hands always remain dry, says the company.www.karlie-flamingo.comAquarium products in harmony with natureVitakraft's Vita Premium Flake Mix comes in different flake sizes for ornamental fish of all ages.
