The Ultimate Malta Aquarium Care Guide: Askoll Top Sellers, Winter Prep & Expert Fish Care Tips

This isn’t just a product launch—this is a true update on what’s going on right now at the BirdsMalta.com™ online pet shop. The new Askoll aquarium supplies have safely landed, and we are absolutely thrilled by the incredible feedback we are receiving from you.

Whether you are starting your first tank or maintaining a seasoned underwater ecosystem, here is a look at what is flying off the shelves and some expert tips to help your aquatic friends thrive.

The Feeding Frenzy: Askoll Adiet & The Power of Garlic

Our customers are absolutely loving the Askoll Adiet fish food range, consistently reporting an unbeatable price-to-quality ratio. The transition for the fish has been instant—the moment these flakes, granules, freeze-dried mealworms, algae wafers, and tubifex hit the water's surface, they are devoured in seconds!

But the real standout lately? The Askoll Aglio Garlic Extract. Customers have noted that it smells like rich, pure garlic, and it is working miracles for picky eaters. Just a few drops to moisten their daily food is enough to change their minds.

More importantly, garlic is a powerful, natural immunity booster. Just like us, pets are susceptible to winter-related illnesses—and fish are no exception! Drops in temperature, a missed water change, a dirty filter, power outages, or the introduction of a new (and potentially sick) fish can stress their immune systems. Boosting their diet with garlic extract is one of the best ways to keep them strong and healthy as the cooler months approach.

The Perfect Start: Aqua Amica & Fast Bio Active

We are seeing a massive shift towards Askoll Aqua Amica as the go-to water conditioner over older commercial brands.

Here is why this is so critical: Setting up a new aquarium by just adding tap water and throwing fish in immediately is a recipe for disaster. Tap water contains chlorine and heavy metals. Chlorine physically burns and damages the delicate gills of your fish, suffocating them and eventually leading to disease and death. Furthermore, chlorine completely wipes out the beneficial bacteria in your filter, crashing the delicate ecosystem of an established tank.

Aqua Amica instantly neutralizes these threats while adding essential minerals. It is often bought alongside Askoll Fast Bio Active, which introduces millions of good, live bacteria to your aquarium. This essential bacteria jump-starts your nitrogen cycle, breaking down toxic ammonia and nitrates sustainably. With this powerful duo, your tank's biological cycle gets the kickstart it needs, allowing you to safely introduce your first hardy fish in just a few days! It’s also the perfect maintenance top-up during large water changes.

Crystal Clear Water & Lush Plant Life

Another top seller flying off our shelves is Askoll Crystal Water. If you are tired of cloudy water and those tiny, annoying floating particles, this is your solution. It binds those micro-particles together so your filter can catch them, leaving your water literally crystal clear without causing any harm to your fish or plants.

Speaking of plants, our planted tank enthusiasts are clearing out our plant supplements! Pairing the Askoll Plant Capsules and Verde Incanto liquid fertilizer with an Askoll CO2 system and our brilliant Askoll LED lights will turn any standard tank into a lush, vibrant underwater jungle.

Don't Forget the Turtles!

For our reptile lovers, the Askoll Neuro Turtle acts just like Aqua Amica, instantly making tap water safe for your shelled friends. Pair it with Crystal Turtle to eliminate those famously annoying turtle tank odors and clear up cloudy water for a fresh, clean habitat.
