Umsuka & Ukusakaza

U-Pepper Corys uzalwa eNingizimu Melika, lapho athola khona okokuqala uCharles Darwin ngesikhathi ehamba kahle ehamba nge-HMS Beagle ngawo-1830. Indlu yabo ihlanganisa imifula nemifudlana yoMfula waseRío de la Plata, ongomunye wemifula emikhulu yomhlaba. I-Pepper itholakale emifuleni, emifuleni, nasemachibi amancane e-Argentina, eBrazil, eParaguay, eSuriname nase-Uruguay. Ziphakathi kwezinhlanzi zakuqala ezazithunjelwa ukuhweba ukuhweba kwe-aquarium, lapho kuqala ziboshwa ekuthunjweni eParis, eFrance ngo-1878.

Igama lesayensi le nhlanzi lisuselwa emagameni aseLatini cory (okusho isithinteli ), ama- doras (isikhumba esichazayo) ne- pelea (okusho umquba noma izingcezu zensimbi yensimbi), ukubhekisela kumbala wabo wemvelo.

I-Pepper Corys ingenye yezinto ezivame ukubonwa, futhi ezithandwa kakhulu, zezinhlobo zeCorydoras emhwebeni we-aquarium. Njengamanje, izilinganiso eziningi ezithengiswa ezitolo zithunjelwa ngabakhiqizi bezentengiselwano eFlorida nase-Asia.

Incazelo

I-Corydoras paleatus , eyaziwa ngokuvamile ngokuthi i-Pepper Cory, kungenzeka ukuthi igcinwa kakhulu kuzo zonke izinhlobo zeCorydoras , ngaphandle kwe- Corydoras aenus , noma iBronze Cory .

Bancani, abesilisa bafinyelela ubukhulu obukhulu bama-2.5 cm (6.5 cm) nabesifazane abangaphezu kwama-intshi amathathu (7.5 cm). Isidumbu salezi zityalo sisezingeni eliphansi futhi sigcwele imigqa emibili yamapuleti we-bony, owaziwa nangokuthi ama-scutes. Inhloko iphinde ihlanganiswe ngamapulangwe amakhulu, lapho igama layo lesayensi lisuka khona. Emathangeni angenhla kukhona ama-pair of barbels, okusiza inhlanzi uma ihamba nge-substrate ngezidakamizwa zokudla.

Umbala womzimba ungumnqumo ophuzile we-tan, ene-green shedscent sheen. Inethiwekhi yobumnyama obumnyama obumnyama obumnyama ihlanganisa umzimba, ngaphandle kwama-specimens amabili afana ncamashi. Amaphesenti ajwayelekile, kanti i-dorsal fin ine-splotch emnyama emikhankanyeni embalwa yokuqala, kanti i-caudal fin ine-sprinkling of izindawo ezinhle. Lezi zinhlobo zine-adipose fin, enezindawo endaweni ephezulu. Kunezinhlobonhlobo ezikhona ezitholakala ku-albino kanye nokuhluka kwegolide ngezinye izikhathi okuthiwa yi-Golden Paleatus. Ama-specimens abanjwe ngasendle ahluke kakhulu ekuphatheni, kanye nokulala okuningi kunezingqayizivele eziningi ezithunjiwe.

Ukuziphatha okuthakazelisayo kulezi zinhlobo yikhono lokukhiqiza umsindo ngokuqothulwa (ukuhamba kude phakathi komzimba) wezinhlawulo ze-pectoral. Lokhu kuziphatha kuvame ukubonwa ngesikhathi sokuthandana noma ku-juveniles lapho becindezelekile.

Omunye umkhuba abanazo 'ukuxosha' kubanikazi babo. Lokhu kwenzeka ngenxa yamehlo abo ahloswe ngawo avumela ukuba bagxilise amehlo bese behlehla ngaphandle kokuhambisa ikhanda. Njengamanye ama-Corys, lezi zilwane ngezinye izikhathi zihamba phezu kwamanzi bese zibonakala zivutha emoyeni. Bakwazi ukusebenzisa i-oxygen yomoya ngokugwinya futhi bayifake emanzini. Kuyinto evamile ukubona ukuthi benza lokhu ngezikhathi ezithile. Uma ukwanda kwalokhu kuziphatha kuphawulwa, kungase kube uphawu lwekhwalithi yamanzi ewohlokayo, futhi izinyathelo kufanele zithathwe ukuze kuthuthukiswe izimo.

Njengamanye amalunga alo mndeni, i-Pepper Cory inama-barbs abukhali ngaphansi kweso ngalinye, ngaphansi kwe-adipose end, nangaphambi kwe-endorse fin. Lezi zihloselwe ukuvimbela izinhlanzi ezinkulu ukuze zigwinya. Kodwa-ke, kungabangela izinkinga lapho bezama ukuthola le nhlanzi encane, futhi kufanele banakekele lapho benza kanjalo.

Lezi zinhlobo zinokuthula kakhulu, futhi nakuba zikhuthele kakhulu emini, ziyaziwa ngokuba zihlala endaweni eyodwa isikhathi eside, ziqhubekisa indawo ukuthi zibone izinhlamvu zokudla. Bakhetha ukuthi babe nabanye onobuhlobo babo futhi benze okuhle uma begcinwe ngokudubula.

Ama-tankmates

Kuhle kakhulu kumanzi amancane aqukethe ama-aquariums amakhulu, lezi zinhlobo kufanele zigcinwe ngamaqembu amathathu noma ngaphezulu. Ama-tankmates afanelekayo ezinye izinhlanzi ezincane, njenge-Barbs ezincane zokuthula, uDanios, abaphilayo, i-Killifish, ama-Tetras amancane, nama-Cichlids amancane. Khumbula ukuthi lezi zinhlobo zikhetha amanzi apholile, ngakho gwema ukugcina nezinhlobo ezidinga ukuphela okuphezulu kwamazinga okushisa ashisayo. Futhi, gwema ukugcina inhlanzi enkulu noma enobudlova.

Ukuhlala Nokunakekelwa

Njengomgcini ohlala phansi ochitha usuku lwabo ukumba ngaphakathi kwe-substrate, lezi zinhlobo kufanele zinikezwe nge-substrate yesihlabathi noma i-gravel emihle ehlangene, mhlawumbe umbala omnyama. Izitshalo eziphilayo zilungile, kodwa okufakelwayo kungasetshenziswa futhi. Isihluthulelo ukunikeza izindawo eziningi zokufihla ukuze zizwe zikhululekile. Izitshalo ezikhulayo ziyizinketho ezinhle, njengoba lezi zinhlobo zikhetha ukukhanyisa okungaphezulu. I-Driftwood noma i-bogwood nayo iyindlela enhle yokunikeza lezi zindawo zokuzifihla.

Amanzi kufanele abe okupholile kunamazinga okushisa asezindaweni ezishisayo. Ukushisa kwama-72 kuya kwangu-78 ° F (22 kuya ku-26 ° C), noma ngisho okuncane kuncane kakhulu. Gwema izinga lokushisa eliseduze noma ngaphezulu kwama-80 ° F, njengoba le nhlobo ingenzi kahle kulawo mafudumele afudumele. Kunconywa amanzi anzima ngokulinganayo , kepha uhlangothi olubanzi lubekezelela isikhathi eside uma lungashintshi njalo. Ngokufanayo, bayobekezelela amazinga e-pH, kusukela ku-6.0 ukuya ku-7.0 noma ngisho nangaphezulu. Gwema amanzi acacile kakhulu nokushintshashintsha okusheshayo. Isihluthulelo saso yonke imingcele yamanzi ukuze ihlale igxilile.

Ukudla

Ukudla okuphephile kukaPepper Cory kodwa kusebenza kahle ngama-frozen, flake, granules, kanye ne-pellet noma ithebhulethi yokudla. Ukudla okubukhoma kungabandakanya ama-bloodworms, i-brine shrimp, i-tubifex, nezimbungu ezimhlophe. Ngokuyinhloko abahlinzeki bezansi, kanti nakuba beyokhuphuka ngezikhathi ezithile emazingeni aphezulu ukuze bathathe i-tidbit, badla cishe kuphela ngezansi.

Ngakho-ke, qiniseka ukuthi ukudla kuqinisweni kuyafinyelela. Ukugaya amapelisi noma amaphilisi kuyindlela enhle yokuqinisekisa ukuthi bathola ingxenye yabo yokudla. Nakuba zisebenza emini, zivame ukudla ebusuku, ngakho-ke uphonsa amathebulethi amancane e-tank ngaphambi kokuvala izibani ukuqinisekisa ukuthi zondliwe kahle.

Izingxabano zobulili

Owesifazane uPepper Corys ngokuvamile ukhulu kunabantu abesilisa, futhi ngaphezulu kunesisu. Uma kubhekwa ngenhla umehluko kubonakala kakhudlwana, njengoba insikazi inkulu kakhulu kunesilisa. Induna ine-dorsal fin ephakeme kakhulu, kanti i-anal fin yayo ikhonjiswe kakhulu kunowesifazane. Abesilisa ngokuvamile babalabala kunabesifazane.

Ukuzala

Njengoba kuphawuliwe ngaphambilini, i-Pepper Cory yaqala ukuvulwa eParis ngo-1878, okwenza kube yinye yezinhlanzi zokuqala ezizobanjelwa ukuhweba kwe-aquarium. Bazala kalula emanzini asekhaya futhi bangenye yezinhlobo ezilula ukuveza ngempumelelo. Bangamaqanda amaqanda futhi bayodla amaqanda abo, okusho ukuthi itangi elihlukile lokutshala futhi likhulise ama gazinga kuyadingeka kwimiphumela ephumelelayo. Kumele kukhethwe umbhangqwana noma abathathu abesilisa ababili nabesifazane oyedwa. Abanye ababelethi bayathanda insimu ephakeme nakakhulu yesilisa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi impumelelo. Ababelethi kufanele bahlelwe ngokudla ukudla okuncane okuphilayo okufana ne-bloodworms, i-brine shrimp, i-daphnia, ne-tubifex. Uma ukudla okuphilayo kungatholakali, amalungiselelo afriziwe okudla okuphilayo angafakwa endaweni.

Uma ukulungele ukulimaza owesifazane kuzokhula ngokuphawulekayo ngokugqoka, kanti inhlanzi iyosebenza ngokugcwele. Isibeletho sowesifazane singabonisa i-hue ebomvu, njengalapho i-ray yokuqala ye-pectoral fin. Ngalesi sikhathi, yenza ushintsho olukhulu lwamanzi (cishe u-25%) ngamanzi apholile kunamazinga okushisa emanzini. Inhloso ukuphonsa izinga lokushisa kwamanzi cishe ngo-5 °, ukufanisa nenkathi yemvula, okuzokwenza ukuthi kube nokuzala. Uma ukuzala kungenzeki ngosuku noma ezimbili, phinda inqubo kuze kube khona ukuzala. UPepper Corys ubonisa ukuziphatha okuvamile kweCorydoras .

Izigaba zokuqala zokutshala zikhonjiswe ukubhukuda kwamadoda emhlane ngemuva kwesifazane, kuseduze kangangokuthi izigqoko zakhe zingamthinta. Abesilisa bazovame ukubonisa ukuziphatha okuthuthumela ngesikhathi sokuvuna. Ekugcineni, owesilisa uzothatha isikhundla esivamile sokuthi "T", nomzimba wakhe usezingeni elifanele kuya ekhaleni lesifazane. Impikiswano ikhona mayelana nendlela amaqanda ahlwanyelwa ngayo. Abanye bakholelwa ukuthi lona wesifazane empeleni udla isidoda, uyidlulisa emathunjini akhe, bese ekhishwa emaqanda aphethwe ngamagundane akhe. Abanye bayavumelani futhi bakholelwa ukuthi isidoda sikhishwa emanzini osondelene namaqanda. Uma amaqanda ekhulelwe, lo mbhangqwana uhlukanisa futhi owesifazane uzofaka amaqanda okunamathela endaweni akhethayo ahlanze. Lokhu kungase kube ingilazi, izihlungi zokuhlunga, ngisho nezitshalo.

Lapho amaqanda esebekiwe, abesilisa bazophinde baxoshe owesifazane futhi umkhosi wokulinganisa uzokwenzeka futhi. Lokhu kuphindaphindwa kuze kufike amaqanda amabili kuya kwamakhulu amathathu afakwa futhi agcinwe kuwo wonke amanzi. Ukusabalalisa kungaqhubeka ihora noma ngaphezulu. Uma sekuqedile ukuphelisa, abantu abadala kufanele basuswe ethandini, ngoba bayodla amaqanda kanye namazinga gazinga. Ezinsukwini eziyizinyanga ezine kuya kweziyisithupha, amaqanda azokhipha, nakuba lokhu kuzohluka kuye ngokushisa kwamanzi. Amanzi afudumele angandisa isikhathi sokuqothula cishe izinsuku ezimbili.

Uma amaqanda eseqedile, i-gazinga ingadla ukudla okuncane kakhulu njenge- Cyclops , ama-shrimp, ama-microworms noma ukudla okuphekwe ngokudayiswa. Londoloza ikhwalithi yamanzi aphakeme ngokwenza izinguquko zamanzi njalo.
