I-aquarium iyizwe elincane lezimanga ngaphakathi kwezindonga zakho ezine. Akuzona izilwane kuphela kodwa nezitshalo ezifaka isandla ekwakhiweni kwama-idyll angempela angaphansi kwamanzi.
I-aquarium ingaklanywa ngezindlela eziningi ezahlukene. Izinhlobo zezinhlanzi zasolwandle ziklanywe ngezinhlanzi ezithile kanye nezitshalo zasemanzini ezitholakala endaweni yazo. Kodwa bengihlale ngiphupha nge-aquarium efana nepharadesi, ingadi engaphansi kwamanzi lapho izinhlanzi nezitshalo zihlala khona ngokuvumelana.
Kudingeka ukukhanya okuningi kanye nokuvundiswa kwe-CO2 ukuze izinhlobo eziningi zezitshalo zasemanzini zichume. Indawo ezinzile, yamanzi ahlanzekile ashisayo iqala ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezihlala emanzini amakhulu. Ama-Aquarium anezinhlobo eziningi zezitshalo zasemanzini ezahlukene adinga ukunakekelwa nokunakwa okuthile. Kodwa futhi ziwumthombo ongapheli wenjabulo.
Enye yezindawo zami zasemanzini inokukhanyisa ngamalambu e-LED. Ngikhanyisa ichibi elingamamitha amabili ngamalambu amane angama-30-watt. Uma kuqhathaniswa nezibani zangaphambili ze-HQI, lokhu kusho ukonga amandla okukhulu. Ngaphezu kwenhlabathi enomsoco, izitshalo zasemanzini zidinga i-CO2 emini ukuze zikhule kahle. Izinhlanzi zikhipha i-CO2 futhi ziphefumula umoya-mpilo okhiqizwa izitshalo zasemanzini phakathi nosuku ngamagill azo. Ikakhulukazi lapho izitshalo eziningi ezikhula ngokushesha zinakekelwa, udinga futhi ukuvundiswa kwe-CO2. Kunamasistimu asebenziseka kalula atholakala ezitolo zezilwane ezingalawulwa ngisho nangeswishi yokukhanya futhi icishwe ebusuku.
I-aquarium yasezindaweni ezishisayo kufanele ikhanyiswe ngokuqhubekayo okungenani amahora ayishumi ngosuku. Ekuqaleni, umanyolo wezitshalo zamanzi kufanele ungeniswe ku-substrate, equkethe i-aquarium gravel ethengiswayo. Kamuva, izitshalo ezithile zingavundiswa ngamabhola obumba. Ukuvundisa ngensimbi kwenziwa ngomanyolo owuketshezi. Isikhathi sokuqalisa sihlala sinzima, kodwa ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa, kufinyelelwa ukulingana.
Naphezu Kwemvelaphi Yazo Ehlukene, Izinhlanzi Ziphila Ngokuvumelana Nomunye Nomunye
Ngitshala izinhlobo ezahlukene ze-Echinodorus. Lezi zitshalo zenkemba zase-Amazon zikhanga kakhulu futhi zakha amaqabunga amakhulu, ngezinye izikhathi abomvu, kuye ngokuthi hlobo luni. I-substrate engaphambili igcwele isitshalo senkemba esincane kunazo zonke sase-Amazon, i-Echinodorus tenellus. Kodwa i-Sagittaria terres nayo ihlinzeka ngokuluhlaza okuningi endaweni ephakathi. Ngamaqabunga awo abomvu, amade, i-Aponogeton Crispus yakha umehluko omuhle kuhlobo lwe-Hygrophila eluhlaza. Lo “mthandi wamanzi” ikakhulukazi ukhula ngokushesha futhi kufanele anqanyulwe futhi atshalwe kabusha kaninginingi ngoba sifuna ukuklama i-aquarium etshaliwe njengesithombe ukuze izitshalo zikhule ukusuka phambili kuya emuva.
Ngalokhu, ngidale amasimu anezimpande ze-bog pinewood. Uhlobo olulodwa lweCrinum ludonsa amehlo ngamaqabunga awo amade, amancane. Okunye okuhlukile uhlobo lomnduze wamanzi namaqabunga awo abomvu, okudingeka ahlwithwe ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuze angathathi ukukhanya okuningi kwezinye izinhlobo. I-filigree ramifications ye-Limnophila Aquatica iphinde ihluke lapha namaqabunga omnduze angaphansi kwamanzi ayindilinga.
Izinhlanzi nazo zizizwa zikhululekile ku-aquarium enjalo. Kuyacaca ukuthi angizigcini izinhlanzi ezimbayo, njengama-cichlid noma lezo ezidla ngisho nezitshalo. Ziyizinhlanzi ezinokuthula ezingakhi izindawo futhi zihlala ngokuzwana, ngisho noma zivela ezindaweni ezihlukene kakhulu. Bengilokhu ngigcina ama-clown loaches amahlanu kuleli thangi iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20, kanye nabadla ulwelwe ngomugqa obomvu, abadla ulwelwe bakwa-Siamese, i-rainbowfish (i-Melanotaenia affinis), ama-net loach, ama-dwarf noma ama-checkerboard loaches, kanye nenqwaba yezinkemba ezikhiqizayo. Ngakho iphupho lami lepharadesi elingaphansi kwamanzi lagcwaliseka. Ngangingasakwazi ukucabanga ngefulethi elingenaso i-aquarium.
