Idama luhlobo oluthile lwamanzi apho amanzi angaphumi khona. Abukho ngaphezu kweemitha ezili-15 ubunzulu. Amachibi adalwe ngabantu. Ungomba umngxuma ngokwakho okanye usebenzise indawo enzulu ekhoyo. Gcwalisa umngxuma okanye indawo enzulu ngamanzi.
Amachibi ayedla ngokudalwa ukuze abe namanzi acocekileyo okanye afuye iintlanzi aze azitye. Abacimi-mlilo basebenzisa ichibi lokucima umlilo ngokukhawuleza ukufumana amanzi kwiimpompo zabo. Namhlanje, nangona kunjalo, amachibi amaninzi ahlobisa: enza igadi ibonakale intle. Ukongezelela, amachibi atsala izityalo nezilwanyana.
Xa ucinga ngezityalo zasechibini, ucinga ngeenyibiba zamanzi, iirushes, marsh marigolds, kunye neekati. Iintlanzi eziqhelekileyo echibini leentlanzi yi-carp kunye ne-trout kunye nasegadini yasegadini i-goldfish kunye ne-koi. Ezinye izilwanyana ngaphakathi nangaphakathi echibini ngamasele kunye nohlabamanzi nezinye ezininzi.
Echibini, kunokwenzeka ukuba izityalo ezininzi kunye ne-algae zikhule. Oko bekuya kumtyhafisa. Ukuba umhlaba omninzi kakhulu ungene echibini, uya kuba nentlenga. Yiyo loo nto ichibi lifuna ukunyanyekelwa ukuze amanzi ahlale ematsha kwaye anganuki.
