Only Experts can make medicines Like any other pet, fish can become unwell and need medicines to aid their recovery. Legally, any product that claims to prevent or cure a disease, or to boost the immune system, is classified as a medicine and falls under strict regulatory control.

In order to manufacture fish medicines, it is necessary to comply with a rigorous system known as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). This is not a problem for King British, as we have been making medicines for many years and are well versed in all the appropriate legislation and required procedures.

Any aquatic enthusiast should check packs for a ‘ManA’ or ‘SAM’ number to ensure that the products they buy are legally compliant, safe for them to use and to be assured that they have been made to the highest international standards.

With quality assurance at such a high level, King British medicines really are products you can trust.

What’s so special about King British Fish flake?

Nutrition plays an important part in the healthy development of all living things, and our fish are no different. That’s why all King British foods are made using only the finest quality ingredients, such as hydrolysed fish protein (as opposed to fishmeal, which is used in many other brands). Enzymatic hydrolysis is the process used to increase the protein’s digestibility, therefore increasing the amount of protein available to the fish and reducing the amount of waste produced. This ensures good water quality, which is so vital in maintaining fish health.

But, there is one other ingredient that makes King British Fish Flake unique; our Immuno Health Booster, also known as IHB.

Immuno Health Booster can only be found in King British fish foods; no other ornamental fish food manufacturer can claim to have this unique ingredient.

How does IHB work?

IHB is an ‘immunomodulator’, which means that it regulates the immune system by producing immune stimulants when needed and suppressing them when not. This naturally helps fish to cope with stress, and optimises their health and longevity.

What is Immu no Hea lth Boost e r (IHB )?

In an aquarium or pond, fish are constantly exposed to low levels of infection and parasites.

Adding IHB to a fish’s diet helps boost their immune defence mechanisms, helping them fight infections and parasites more effectively, and decreasing the risk of low-level infections developing into full-scale problems.

IHB is a major breakthrough in nutritional science. It is a natural compound extracted from marine algae which strengthens a fish’s natural immune system, providing a stronger shield against infection and disease.

In King British trials, after feeding their fish King British Fish Flake (with IHB), 97% of fishkeepers reported improvements in vitality, colour, general health or an inclination to breed.

What types of fi s h w i l l benefi t f rom IHB? IHB is suitable for all coldwater, tropical and marine fish, and does not harm other forms of aquatic life.

Is IHB i ncluded i n any other K i ng Bri ti s h foods?

In addition to being an important ingredient in our award-winning King British Goldfish Flake and Tropical Flake, IHB is also added to several foods in our Specialist Tropical Range.

Our flake contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives

Feeding tr pical fish With so many colours, shapes and behaviours to choose from, it’s little wonder that tropical fish are such a popular choice amongst fishkeepers.

From species like mollies and guppies, which are ideal for beginners, to those that offer a little more of a challenge, like cichlids, there is a tropical fish to suit every fishkeeper.

In their natural environment, the majority of tropical fish would have an extremely varied diet, including algae, plants, crustaceans, insects and other fish. This variety ensures they receive a balanced diet, which is why we’ve carefully designed our tropical foods so that fishkeepers can easily replicate this in their aquariums, helping their fish achieve optimal health and vitality.

The term ‘tropical fish’ covers a wide spectrum of species, some of which, including cichlids and catfish, may be better served by the King British Specialist Tropical Range.

SPECIALIST Tropical & Marine fo ds Specialist fish require more specific care, and therefore a more specialised diet, which is why we’ve created King British Specialist Tropical & Marine Foods.

To successfully keep all fish, it’s important to understand their requirements, but this is particularly crucial for certain tropical fish and marine fish. From the size they’ll grow to as adults to the pH requirements of the water, it’s important fishkeepers are given the correct information about the species they want to keep, and are prepared to invest extra time and energy accordingly. Regular water testing, observation and good quality nutrition will help to take care of the rest.

Feedi ng Catfish an d P l eco stomus Here at King British, we all love catfish, with plecs being a firm favourite. Plecostomus, pleco, plec or even Loricariidae, whatever you prefer to call them, are the largest group of catfish, with hundreds of named species, and more being discovered each year. With their unique look, armour plating and characterful personalities, it’s easy to see how plecs have captured fishkeepers’ hearts.

But one unfortunate side effect of the popularity of catfish and plecs is misconceptions about their needs, starting with them both being ‘the same’. Indeed, plecs are a family within the wider catfish order but they have very different needs to other catfish families. Catfish as a whole are bottom-feeding carnivorous fish that have a reputation for being scavengers.

Meanwhile, plecs are often herbivores or detrivores (meaning they feed on dead organic material, especially plant detritus), and have a reputation for eating algae.

Even though catfish and plecs are different, their similar reputations of living off scraps and/or algae has led to both being seen as an ‘easy’ way to keep fish tanks clean. In reality, only a small number of catfish are beneficial in this way. Some of the best, most commonly available plecs for helping keep a tank clean are the Bristle Nose Catfish (Ancistrus spp.). Not only do they stay a fairly manageable size (12–15 cm), they will do a great job of helping clean up an aquarium without producing too much waste in return.

While catfish and plecs are a great addition to any tank’s clean-up crew, their eating habits have led to the common misconception that they don’t need additional food. Plecs and other types of catfish are true bottom feeders and will eat almost anything they can, helping to keep aquariums clean

King British Catfish Pellets but this is not enough to sustain them. All catfish, regardless of their species, need a complete diet. For the catfish order as a whole, this includes a high-protein, specialist food. For plecs, this includes a specialist plant-based food designed for sucker-shaped mouths. Plecs also require bogwood in their environment, as they use it as an important source of fibre.

A highly palatable, complete food for all breeds of catfish and other algae-eating fish.

These small food pellets contain high-quality, natural ingredients and are formulated to sink to the bottom of the tank, allowing catfish to eat with ease. With a high oil content of 15% and a high protein content of 54%, as required by most catfish.

Item codes: 17864 (65g) • 17869 (200g) • 17870 (600g)

King British Plecostomus Tablets Lack of nutritional understanding is one of the biggest causes of death amongst catfish and plecs. Aquatics retailers have a responsibility to make consumers aware of their requirements, and as an aquatics manufacturer, we have a responsibility to provide education, support and high-quality products.

That is why King British have created the Specialist Tropical Food Range, which includes King British Algae Wafers and King British Catfish Pellets, which are tailored to meet the nutritional needs of all catfish, while King British Plecostomus Tablets have been created specifically for plecs.

These foods all have a high protein, low waste formulation, and sink rapidly through the water column to where the fish would normally feed. King British Algae Wafers also contain our unique Immuno Health Booster. The wafers remain waterstable for up to 3 hours so catfish, plecs and other algaeeating fish can graze slowly, as they would in the wild.

A highly palatable, complete food with the natural seaweed extract ergosan and spirulina to help enhance colour and vitality. The tablets contain high-quality, natural ingredients, including fish, molluscs and crustaceans, and are formulated to sink to the bottom of the tank where plecostomus can gradually nibble them away. With a protein content of 32%, the tablets are ideal for the metabolism of plecostomus and other bottom-feeding catfish.

SPECIALIST Tropical & Marine fo ds Feedi ng Ci chl ids Cichlids are mainly found in West Africa, the rift valley lakes of East Africa, South America and Central America, with a few also found in Asia and Madagascar. With new species being discovered every year, over 2,000 have already been described.

Cichlids, also known as the Cichlidae family, are one of the largest vertebrate families in the world. Although there are many different species of these fascinating fish, fishkeepers often give the same care to all types of cichlid which is when problems can arise. For example, the boisterous mbuna from the hard water Lake Malawai requires very different care to the peaceful shy, dwarf cichlids from the soft waters of South America, but both are from the Cichlidae family.

With such a wide variety of sizes, colours and body shapes, there are cichlids which are suitable for most aquariums, although some species should only be kept by the most experienced aquarists. As a retailer, it’s important to find out how experienced your customer is before they buy.

Like all fish, different species have different requirements when it comes to water quality, feeding and behaviour.

Most cichlids are voracious feeders (although Discus and Angelfish are well-known for being more reserved eaters).

In the wild, most cichlids would graze all day on whatever is available; even predominantly herbivorous fish will sometimes tuck into insects and other small creatures.

Feeding in this way is difficult to simulate in aquariums but is still important. Like most fish, smaller cichlids like Discus need to feed little and often, whereas more predatory cichlids, such as Oscars, can eat larger meals less frequently (for example once or twice a day).

Cichlids are often territorially aggressive, an instinct that exists to ensure each cichlid acquires enough food. While useful in the wild, it’s not as welcome in a community tank; regular feeding 2–3 times a day (or as directed on the pack) will help to keep tempers in check.

To cater for all sizes of cichlid, we have created King British Cichlid Flake and King British Cichlid Sticks. The flake is ideal for fishkeepers with smaller cichlids, such as the Rams and Kribs, while the sticks are perfect for those with larger species like Oscars and Central American Cichlids. Both foods contain our unique Immuno Health Booster. An important thing to remember and communicate with fishkeepers is that any commercial diet is nutritionally superior to any food source found in the wild, so they should stick to the recommended feeding amounts on the pack.

King British Cichlid Sticks (with IHB)

Fe e din g Marin e Fish A marine tank is a beautiful addition to any home but with it comes a great deal of responsibility, with marine fish having very specific environmental needs as well as nutritional ones.

Unlike freshwater fish, most ornamental marine fish don’t hunt for food. Instead, they graze little and often throughout the day, and can be picky about when, how much and how often they eat. For this reason, it can be useful to have a constant supply of food within the aquarium, for which algae and microinvertebrates can suffice, but this needs to be supplemented with a good quality marine fish food fed 2–3 times a day.

An extremely palatable, complete, premium food made from high-quality, natural ingredients, including fish, molluscs and crustaceans. The sticks are ideal for mid-water feeding cichlids and contain our unique ‘Immuno Health Booster’ which strengthens a fish’s natural immune system, providing a stronger shield against infection and disease, actively helping fish live healthy, happy lives. With a high protein content of 40%, it is ideal for the metabolism of omnivorous and carnivorous breeds of cichlid.

Caring f r TURTLEs & Terrapins Turtles and terrapins are fascinating aquatic pets that bridge the gap between fishkeepers and reptile keepers. There are many different species of turtle and terrapin, all of which have slightly different environmental, nutritional and behavioural needs.

The biggest requirements of a turtle are: • The correct nutrition • Both water and land areas, including a basking area • Access to both UVA and UVB light All of these factors are linked to the overall health of a turtle, and their importance should be impressed upon anyone thinking of keeping them as pets.

Feeding an inappropriate diet and giving incorrect care can lead to serious health problems in turtles. As an aquatic manufacturer, we’ve carefully formulated a complete range of products to support turtle and terrapin health, and are regularly creating educational content for turtle keepers.

Caring f r TURTLEs & Terrapins Different turtles require different land and water setups.

Some turtles are strong swimmers, spending a lot of time in the water and less time basking, while others spend most of their time on land but prefer shallower water. One thing all turtles require is access to a basking area, which allows them to warm up, dry out, and absorb UVA and UVB rays, all of which are needed to keep turtles healthy and happy.

As big waste producers, keeping the tank water clean and safe for turtles is essential. The principles for maintaining good water quality in a turtle tank are actually very similar to that of a fish tank; removing droppings and uneaten food, testing the water parameters regularly, conducting water changes and cleaning the tank.

Turtle & Terrapin Water treatments

King British Turtle & Terrapin Multi-Vit Easy-to-use, liquid vitamin supplement for tortoises, turtles, terrapins and goldfish.

Contains 9 different vitamins, including Vitamin A, B, C, D, E and K, to help prevent vitamin deficiencies, and support development and optimum health. Suitable for chelonia and goldfish.

Item code: 18600 (20ml)

Our King British Turtle & Terrapin Water Safe and King British Turtle & Terrapin Water Freshener can both be used to help maintain clean, safe swimming water for turtles.

Meanwhile, our King British Turtle & Terrapin Multi-Vit can be added to the water to help combat vitamin deficiencies.

King British Turtle & Terrapin Water Freshener Contains millions of specially selected friendly microbes, including nitrifying bacteria, which break down organic waste produced by turtles and terrapins. This helps to prevent and control bad odours that can build up in the terrarium. Use twice a week to improve water quality and keep the water fresh, when setting up a new tank, during water changes or following the use of aquatic medicines to boost filtration.

Suitable for use in turtle and terrapin terrariums.

King British Turtle & Terrapin Water Safe Makes tap water safe for turtles, terrapins and other amphibians. Removes chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals and excess ammonia, which not only irritate the turtle’s eyes and skin, but can also destroy the friendly nitrifying bacteria in the terrarium, affecting the nitrogen cycle and breakdown of waste products. With added Aloe vera to help protect, moisturise and soothe their skin.
