ʻAʻohe paha aquarist i loaʻa ʻole nā pilikia me nā algae i kāna aquarium. Hiki i kēia mau mea ke hōʻino nui i kā mākou leʻaleʻa. Hoʻolei koke ka poʻe aquarist ʻike ʻole i ke kāwele a laila hoʻopau koke i ka aquarium. Hiki iā ʻoe ke pale i ka algae mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana me ka naʻau liʻiliʻi. Akā inā ua ulu nui lākou, hiki iā lākou ke hakakā. I ke kālepa no nā lako aquarium, hāʻawi nā mea hana like ʻole i nā huahana mālama like ʻole no ka hakakā ʻana i nā algae. Hiki nō hoʻi iā ʻoe ke hakakā me ka limu ʻoiaʻiʻo, no ka mea, ʻai pū kekahi iʻa, ʻōpae a i ʻole snails i nā algae.
No ke aha e ulu ai nā algae i loko o ka aquarium?
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, i ka wā e hemo ai ka algae mai ka lima aku, he hōʻailona maʻamau kēia i hoʻopilikia ʻia ke koena olaola o kāu aquarium. Hoʻokumu wale ʻia ʻo Algae, ʻaʻole koi ʻia nā mea ola e hoʻokūkū me nā mea kanu aquarium no nā meaʻai i loaʻa. I loko o nā aquarium i kanu nui ʻia me kahi kānana hana maikaʻi, no laila ʻaʻole hiki i ka algae ke hele i waho. Eia nō naʻe, inā hoʻopiha ʻoe i ka aquarium me nā holoholona he nui, hānai nui a hoʻololi paha i ka wai liʻiliʻi, hiki koke ke ʻano o nā algae, ʻoiai i loko o nā aquarium i kanu nui ʻia.
Pehea ʻoe e pale ai i ka ulu nui ʻana o ka algae ma kahi mua?
He mea nui ka wahi o ka aquarium e pale aku i ka ulu ʻana o nā algae. Pono ʻoe e koho iā ia i ʻike ʻole ʻia i ka lā pololei, kahi e hoʻoikaika ai i ka ulu ʻana o nā algae, inā hiki. Pono ʻoe e pale i nā kukui ikaika loa a nāwaliwali paha. ʻO ka pinepine, akā naʻe, ulu nui ka algae i loko o nā aquarium hou, ʻo ia ke kumu e hoʻohana wale ai ʻoe i ka iʻa mua i ka wā i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ka bacteria kānana mua. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā iʻa liʻiliʻi i ka hoʻomaka a hoʻonui mālie. Ma keʻano laulā, pono ʻoe e hānai e like me ka mea e ʻai koke ai nā holoholona. No ka mea, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke koena o nā meaʻai i ka ulu ʻana o nā algae. Me ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka wai maʻamau (i loko o kahi aquarium maʻamau, hoʻololi i ka hapakolu o ka wai i kēlā me kēia 14 lā ua lawa), hiki iā ʻoe ke wehe maikaʻi i nā meaʻai mai ka aquarium.
ʻO ka hoʻomalu ʻana i nā limu kūlohelohe e nā ʻōpala
I kēia mau lā, hāʻawi ʻia nā snails like ʻole no ke kūʻai ʻana ma nā hale kūʻai holoholona, ʻo kekahi o ia mau mea he mea ʻai algae maikaʻi loa. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā mea i kapa ʻia ʻo nā limu liʻiliʻi o ka genus Neritina he poʻe ʻai limu makemake. Mālama lākou i nā pane aquarium, nā mea kanu wai, a me nā mea lako me ka ʻole o nā diatoms hoʻonāukiuki, ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele a i ʻole nā algae ʻōmaʻomaʻo. ʻO ka mea nui, hiki ke loaʻa ka zebra algae racing snail a i ʻole ka leopard racing snail ma nā wahi āpau ma nā hale kūʻai holoholona. He mea ʻai limu maikaʻi nō hoʻi nā snails antler liʻiliʻi o ka genus Clithon. ʻO ka mea kaulana loa, ʻo ia ka snail antler ʻelua kala (Clithon corona). He mea maʻalahi nā ʻano ʻelua i ka nānā ʻana a ʻaʻole koi nui e pili ana i nā ʻano wai. ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke hana hou i ka wai hou i loko o ka aquarium, no laila ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hopohopo e pili ana i kahi maʻi snail i ka wā e mālama ai iā lākou. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻai kēia mau snails iā lākou i ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ke kaula, ka pulupulu, ka ʻumiʻumi, a me nā limu uliuli.
E hoʻohana i ka ʻōpae ʻai algae e kūʻē i ke kaula a me ka limu ʻōmaʻomaʻo
Ma waena o nā ʻōpae, ʻo ka Amano algae shrimp (Caridina multidentata) ke kū nei ma ke ʻano he "makai algae" kaulana loa mai ka nui o nā ʻano mea i kālepa ʻia. Piʻi ʻo ia ma kahi o 5 cm, he maluhia, a ʻoluʻolu loa. Hiki i kahi hui liʻiliʻi o kēia mau ʻōpala ʻike me nā kiko ʻeleʻele ke hoʻoponopono i kou pilikia a me nā limu ʻōmaʻomaʻo i ka manawa pōkole. Hoʻolaha ʻia nā ʻili liʻiliʻi e like me ka punawelewele i loko o ka aquarium a hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoponopono i kahi hapa nui o ka pilikia ma ka wehe lima ʻana i ka pūnaewele algae. Hoʻopau ka poʻe ʻai algae makemake i ke koena a laila hoʻomau i ka pale ʻana i nā limu limu hou mai ka hana ʻana i loko o kāu aquarium. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole kōkua maʻamau kēia mau ʻōpae maikaʻi i nā ʻano limu like ʻole. No ka wehe ʻana i nā algae hoʻonāukiuki, no ka laʻana, pono ʻoe e lawe mai i nā "pū nui".
Nā iʻa no ka hoʻomalu ʻana i nā ʻano limu like ʻole
Ma kahi kokoke i kēlā me kēia alga aia kekahi iʻa aquarium makemake lākou e ʻai. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo kēia mau mea ʻai limu he mau kōkua makemake nui wale nō inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻomāʻona iā lākou me nā meaʻai iʻa ʻē aʻe i kēia manawa. Loaʻa ka hapa nui o nā mea ʻai limu ma Asia Hikina Hema. Hiki ke loaʻa ka nui o nā ʻano iʻa ma waena o nā iʻa carp. ʻO ka mea kaulana loa nā ʻelele o ka genera Crossocheilus a me Garra. ʻO ka Siamese algae eater (Crossocheilus oblongus) ka mea kūʻai maikaʻi loa. ʻO ke kaikuahine ʻano Crossocheilus reticulatus, nona kahi huelo ʻeleʻele-aʻa, ʻōlelo ʻia i kekahi manawa ma ke kālepa ma ke ʻano he mea ʻai algae brush. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ia mau iʻa no ka hoʻouka ʻana i ka milo, ka ʻumiʻumi, a me ka palaki ʻana i nā limu. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole pono e hūnā ʻia hiki i kēia mau holoholona ke hiki i ka nui o 12-16 cm. ʻO ka loach Siamese (Gyrinocheilus aymonieri) he mea ʻai limu maikaʻi wale nō i kona wā ʻōpiopio. He kūpono wale nō ia no nā aquarium nui loa, no ka mea hiki ke ʻoi aku ka nui o ʻelua.
Ua kūpono hoʻi kekahi o nā mea ʻuʻuku liʻiliʻi a i ʻole nā iʻa pale kaua e like me nā mea ʻai limu. ʻO ka iʻa kaulana ʻo Otocinclus ear lattice catfish, e ulu wale ana ma kahi o 4-5 knm wale nō, e mālama i nā pane aquarium a me nā mea kanu wai me nā diatoms. ʻO ka iʻa ʻeleʻele, a he mau ʻano mahiʻai like ʻole (e like me nā holoholona gula), mālama i nā puka makani a me nā lako me ka ʻole o kēia mau limu.
ʻO kēia nā ʻano mea maʻamau o nā mea ʻai limu. Hiki i ka iʻa ke kōkua i nā limu ʻōmaʻomaʻo polū. ʻO ka ʻōlelo koʻikoʻi, he cyanobacteria hiki ke uhi i nā wahi nui o ka slime like me ka aquarium. ʻO ka tetra huelo o ka genus Semaprochilodus e omo i ka lepo lalo e ʻai a hiki ke hoʻoneʻe i nā algae hoʻonāukiuki i ke kaʻina hana. Ua hana pinepine kēia me nā algae uliuli-'ōmaʻomaʻo. Eia nō naʻe, kūpono kēia mau iʻa no nā aquarium nui loa. Ma ke ʻano, hiki iā lākou ke ʻoi aku ma mua o 40 cm lōʻihi!

No laila, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hele pololei i ka “hui kemika” ke loaʻa iā ʻoe nā pilikia limu. I nā manawa he nui, hiki ke hakakā maoli nā algae. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole kūpono kekahi mau mea ʻai algae maikaʻi ma waena o nā iʻa no nā aquarium liʻiliʻi ma muli o ko lākou nui. E ʻoluʻolu e hoʻomaopopo iā ʻoe iho e pili ana i ke kūpono o kāu aquarium ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana!
