i-geophagus

I-Geophagus (sp. Geophagus) ivela eNingizimu Melika. Zihlala ezinhlelweni eziningi zemifula ezindaweni zezulu nenkabazwe nezishisayo, ezihlanganisa izigodi ezinkulu zemifula i-Amazon kanye ne-Orinoco. Bangabameleli bama-cichlids aseNingizimu Melika.

Igama laleli qembu lezinhlanzi libonisa izici eziyingqayizivele zokudla okunomsoco futhi libuyela emagameni amabili esiGreki asendulo: "geo" - umhlaba kanye ne "phagos" - ukudla, ukuthatha ukudla. Zidla ezansi, zicosha ingxenye yenhlabathi enesihlabathi ngemilomo yazo bese ziyihlunga zifuna izinto eziphilayo ezincane ezingaphansi kanye nezinhlayiya zezitshalo. Ngakho-ke, ngokudla okujwayelekile ekwakhiweni kwe-aquarium, ukuba khona kwenhlabathi enesihlabathi kuyimpoqo.

Okuqukethwe kanye nokuziphatha

Indlela yokudla nayo yaba nomthelela ekubukekeni. Izinhlanzi zinomzimba omkhulu kanye nekhanda elikhulu elinomlomo omkhulu. Ngokwesilinganiso, zifinyelela ubude obungaba ngu-20 cm noma ngaphezulu. Njengomthetho, abesilisa nabesifazane abanalo umehluko obonakalayo obonakalayo, abanombala ofanayo kanye nephethini yomzimba.

Zibhekwa njengokulula ukuzigcina uma zisethangini elibanzi (kusuka kumalitha angama-500) lapho kwakhiwa khona izimo ezifanele: umbuso wokushisa, ukwakheka kwamanzi nge-hydrochemical, ukungabikho kokugxila okuyingozi kwemikhiqizo yomjikelezo we-nitrogen. njll Kodwa-ke, ukugcina izinga eliphezulu lamanzi kudinga ulwazi oluthile kanye nemishini ebizayo evela ku-aquarist, ngakho-ke i-Geophagus ayinconywa kwabaqalayo.

Ngaphakathi kokubuka, kunohlelo lwangaphakathi olucacile oluholwa ngomunye noma ngaphezulu ngama-alpha abesilisaukuba nelungelo elibalulekile lokushada nabesifazane. Zinobungane kwezinye izinhlanzi, kodwa zingase zilandele izihlobo zazo ezibuthakathaka uma zigcinwe ngamaqembu amancane. Emhlambini omkhulu wabantu abangu-8, lokhu akwenzeki. Ukuphela kwesikhathi lapho ama-Geophaguse engabekezeleli ama-tankmates kungenkathi yokuzalanisa.

Breeding

Ngokuqala kwenkathi yokukhwelana, eyeduna nensikazi bakha ipheya lesikhashana. Bobabili abazali baqapha i-clutch kuze kuvele i-fry. Kusukela kulo mzuzu, abesilisa bavame ukuqala ukufuna umngane omusha, kanti insikazi ihlala ivikela ama-brood amasonto ambalwa. Indlela ejwayeleke kakhulu yokuzivikela ukufihla amaphuphu emlonyeni, lapho ama-fry ebhukuda khona ngezikhathi ezithile ukuze azondle. Isikhathi ngasinye isikhathi sokubhukuda kwamahhala sikhula futhi ngesikhathi esithile i-fry izimele.
