Introduction: The Behavior of Tadpoles in Captivity

ʻO nā tadpoles kekahi o nā mea hoihoi loa e nānā i ke pio ʻana. Mālama pinepine ʻia kēia mau ʻōhua wai o nā rana a me nā toads i loko o nā aquarium no nā kumu hoʻonaʻauao a noiʻi a i ʻole he mau holoholona. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo kekahi o nā mea nui o ka mālama ʻana i nā tadpoles i ke pio ʻana, ʻo ia ka hāʻawi ʻana iā lākou i ka meaʻai kūpono. Ma ka nahelehele, ʻai nā tadpoles i nā ʻano mea ola liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, e like me ka algae, plankton, a me nā invertebrates liʻiliʻi. I loko o ka noho pio ʻana naʻe, hiki ke paʻakikī ke hana hou i kā lākou ʻai maoli, kahi e nīnau ai i ka nīnau: ʻai mau anei nā tadpoles i ka ʻai iʻa maʻamau i ka wā pio?

ʻO nā meaʻai e pono ai o nā ʻuʻu

Ma mua o ka pane ʻana i kēlā nīnau, pono e hoʻomaopopo i nā pono meaʻai o nā tadpoles. E like me nā mea ola a pau, pono nā tadpoles i ka meaʻai kaulike e ulu a ulu pono. Pono nā tadpoles i nā proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamina, a me nā minela i kā lākou meaʻai. Pono nā protein no ke kūkulu ʻana a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā ʻiʻo, ʻoiai nā lipids e hāʻawi i ka ikehu a kākoʻo i ka ulu ʻana o ka lolo. ʻO ka carbohydrate kahi kumu o ka ikehu, aʻo nā huaora a me nā minela ke kuleana koʻikoʻi i nā kaʻina metabolic like ʻole. Pono nō hoʻi nā ʻuʻu i nā meaʻai like ʻole i nā nui like ʻole ma nā pae like ʻole o ko lākou ulu ʻana. No laila, ʻo ka hāʻawi ʻana iā lākou i ka meaʻai kaulike he mea nui ia i ko lākou olakino a ola.
