Ukuziphatha, lapho i-pufferfish ithola khona igama layo eliyingqayizivele, iyamangaza: "iyazikhukhumeza" ibe amabhola ngokuphazima kweso ngenjongo yokuzivikela. Kodwa hhayi kuphela ngenxa yalokhu nangenxa yengaphakathi labo elinobuthi, kodwa izinhlanzi ezidla inyama kufanele futhi "zijabulele" ngokuqapha. Izinhlanzi zinokuziphatha okusobala kwendawo futhi zifaneleka kangcono ukugcinwa ngazinye, izinhlobo ezimbalwa kuphela ezibhekwa njengezifanelana kakhudlwana. Izinhlobo zezinhlanzi ezincane ezinjenge-dwarf noma i-isopod pufferfish zigcinwa kangcono ku-aquarium yasekhaya.
Iyini i-Pufferfish?
Igama elithi “pufferfish” lihlanganisa izinhlobo zezinhlanzi ezingu-25 ezinengqikithi yezinhlobo ezingaba ngu-200 zabo bonke osayizi obungacatshangwa. Uma iqhathaniswa nezinhlanzi ezilula, i-pufferfish ibonakala iqinile futhi igcwele. Azinawo ama-pelvic fins futhi anomsila omfushane kuphela. Noma kunjalo, bangababhukudi abashesha futhi bangakwazi nokuhlehla.
I-Pufferfish iza ngemibala ehlukahlukene namaphethini. Isikhumba sazo sibushelelezi futhi simbozwe amazenga aminyene alala aphansi lapho ephumule. Ziyizinhlanzi ezidla ezinye - njenge-moray eels kanye ne-sunfish - ziyingxenye yomndeni wezinhlanzi ezinamathambo. Izilwane zinamazinyo aqinile, akhula njalo, anemigqa yamazinyo ahlangene abe isakhiwo esinjengoqhwaku. Inhlanzi ingaluma abantu ngayo.
I-Pufferfish isatshalaliswa emhlabeni jikelele. Ezinye izinhlobo zihlala ezindaweni zasolwandle ezishisayo, ezinye zihlala emanzini ahlanzekile - isibonelo, i-Amazon noma i-Congo Basin - noma zikhula kahle emanzini anosawoti ezichwebeni. Indawo enjalo ingabuye yenziwe kabusha ku-aquarium yezinhlobo ezincane ze-puffer.
Ingabe I-Pufferfish Inobuthi?
Izinhlobo eziningi ze-pufferfish zithwala ubuthi bezinzwa i-tetrodotoxin emathunjini abo, obubeka impilo yabantu engcupheni ngisho nangemithamo emincane. Kucatshangwa ukuthi izinhlanzi azikhiqizi ubuthi ngokwazo, kodwa zihlanganiselwe kubhaktheriya. Nokho, ingozi yokuba nobuthi ikhona kuphela uma izibilini zezinhlanzi zidliwa. I-aquarist ayibhekene nanoma iyiphi ingozi lapho inakekela izilwane ezifuywayo.
Iyini I-Deal with the Spherical Shape?
Uma bethukile noma besongelwa, i-pufferfish “ingakwazi ukuzikhukhumeza” ngesikhathi esifushane ngokumunca amanzi ekwandiseni isisu. Inhlanzi ithola umthamo omkhulu ngokuphazima kweso. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, imigogodla isakazwa. Lokhu kushintsha kosayizi okungalindelekile kuyethusa, izilwane ezidla ezinye ezinkulu azikwazi ukubamba izinhlanzi ngenxa yokuma kwebhaluni namathiphu.
Okuhlaba umxhwele ngendlela isilwane esizivikela ngayo: Akufanele nanini uchukuluze ngamabomu inhlanzi e-aquarium ukuze uyicuphe. "Inqubo yokuphefumula" ngayinye igcizelela izinhlanzi.
Iyiphi i-Pufferfish Efanele i-Aquarium?
Emkhakheni wezilwane ezifuywayo, ezivame kakhulu nezingenzima yizinhlanzi ezincane ze-pufferfish zamathangi amanzi ahlanzekile. Izinhlobo ze-puffer ezidumile zokugcinwa kwe-aquarium yi-Carinotetraodon travancoricus ne-Colomesus asellus.
I-Dwarf Pufferfish
I-Carinotetraodon travancoricus, eyaziwa kuleli zwe ngaphansi kwamagama we-pea puffer kanye ne-(Indian) dwarf puffer, ingamanzi ahlanzekile futhi ahlala emanzini anosawoti ngezikhathi ezithile. Indawo yayo yemvelo imifula, amachibi anamanzi ahlanzekile, nemisele eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeNdiya naseSri Lanka. Lapho, uncamela ukuhlala ezindaweni ezinohlaza oluminyene lwamanzi, lapho ekwazi ukucasha khona futhi ahlehle.
Ngobukhulu obukhulu obungamasentimitha amathathu kuphela, i-pea puffer iyinhlanzi encane kunazo zonke. Ngokumaka kwayo okumnyama kungemuva eliphuzi, inokubukeka okukhangayo. Umbala wayo ushintsha ngamandla uma ishela noma izama ukujabulisa izimbangi. Akubonakali kunolaka ikakhulukazi ngezindinganiso ze-pufferfish. Noma kunjalo, i-pea pufferfish akufanele ihlanganiswe nezinye izinhlobo zezinhlanzi ku-aquarium. Kodwa-ke, i-pea pufferfish ingagcinwa njengamabhangqa noma eqenjini elincane leduna elilodwa nezinsikazi eziningana ethangini lezilwane elikhulu ngokwanele lapho inhlanzi ngayinye ingahlala khona endaweni yayo.
Ngokuqondisa kwakho: Njengosayizi obuncane obuphelele bokugcina ipheya ye-pea pufferfish, ithangi kufanele libe namandla okungenani amalitha angama-54 futhi libe amasentimitha angama-60 ubude. Khumbula ukuthi i-pufferfish iyashesha kakhulu futhi ibhukuda ngamandla. Lapho benendawo eyengeziwe, bazizwa benethezekile.
Amanzi echibini kufanele abe ne-pH ephakathi kuka-6 no-8.5 kanye nobulukhuni bamanzi phakathi kuka-5° no-20° dGH. Izinga lokushisa kufanele libe phakathi kuka-25 no-30 degrees Celsius. Ngokunakekela okuhle, i-dwarf pufferfish ingaphila iminyaka emihlanu.
