Studies in the Rift Valley lakes show that the algae-grazing cichlids eat silica and blue-green algae (cyanophycea) and not, as is often assumed, green algae!

Although the food is called JBL Malawi, it is intended for the nursery-feeding cichlids from both lakes. However, since the most popular cichlids in Lake Malawi are young feeders (e.g. Pseudotropheus), this food was given the name Malawi. JBL NovoTanganjika was developed for predatory species. In return, this food is of course also suitable for the predators from Lake Malawi.

The natural diet of most tropical ornamental fish, consisting of insect larvae and crustaceans, has a protein-fat ratio of approx. 4:1. Only fish predators receive a higher protein content from their protein-rich fish meat diet and therefore their diet has a P:F ratio of approx. 12:1. Competitors usually offer food that has a P:F ratio of e.g. B. shows 2.5:1. Such food contains too much fat! This leads to fish, which often have less exercise in the aquarium than in nature, becoming fatty and therefore susceptible to illness or death. JBL has adapted the feed types to the species-appropriate P:F ratios.
