Pink zebrafish: features of maintenance, care and reproduction

(7)

There are not many species of fish with bright colors found in their natural habitat. In nature, most inhabitants blend with their environment. Some do this to reliably hide from predators, while others do it to ambush prey. For the wide variety of bright and beautiful aquarium fish, we must thank generations of breeders who have been working for decades and strive to preserve the most spectacular representatives of various species. Aquarists today have the opportunity to fully enjoy the results of this work. We would like to bring to your attention the 10 most beautiful aquarium fish.

Turquoise acara (Andinoacara rivulatus)

This is one of the most beautiful representatives of cichlids living in South America. The color of the scales is bluish-green. They seem to be surrounded by a luminous halo. In the head area there are spots and stripes of turquoise color. The dorsal and anal fins are quite elongated and have a pronounced white or yellow edging. The same edging is present on the tail. Males often have a fatty growth on the head.

Adult turquoise acara can reach a length of 25-30 cm. Therefore, the volume of the aquarium should be at least 300 liters. This beauty does not get along well with its “neighbors,” even if they are species close in size to it. For this reason, one of its unspoken names is “green terror.” It is perfect for species aquariums, where it will reign supreme and delight with its beauty.

Ramirezi's Apistogram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi)

Another representative of cichlids that lives in the rivers of the South American continent. But unlike its predecessor, it is small in size - adult individuals grow up to 7 cm. The advantage of this species is its peace-loving nature. Apistogramma get along well with most existing species of aquarium tropical fish.

Apistogramma made it to our TOP due to its color. Nature tried to make it as colorful as possible and used almost all existing paints. Characteristic of all individuals of this species is a black stripe passing through the eye. Bright blue dots are visible on the fins, like decoration. In the overall body color of the fish you will find a combination of a variety of colors - red, black, yellow, blue and orange.

Types of thorns

Aquarium fish thornets are divided into several varieties, differing from each other in color. Many species were obtained artificially, thanks to the intensive work of breeders, and among this diversity, every aquarist will be able to choose the right fish.

Types of thorns:

• Ternetia caramel is an unusual fish that has become widespread due to its bright body color. The color palette of the species is very extensive: caramel thorns can be blue, green, yellow, red and other shades, the most popular being pink caramel. Unfortunately, such rich tones of the body are achieved by injecting dyes, so the color saturation does not last long, and caramel thorn is more fragile than wild species.
• Glofish, or Ternetia glo, is a fluorescent variety that has appeared recently. The saturation of the fish's body color directly depends on the amount of ultraviolet radiation. The color palette of the variety is extensive: blue, green, yellow, pink, purple and other shades. A special feature of glofish is that the species passes on its color by inheritance.
• Albino is a white ternation that lacks the dark stripes characteristic of the species.
• The veil variety is native to Europe and is distinguished by its large wavy fins.
• Ternetia black - the variety is distinguished by wide fins, vertical stripes are placed on the body. The black tint brightens as the fish grows and turns into dark gray.

Afyosemion

These fish are representatives of spawning carp-toothed fish, which are also called “killifish”. To date, several dozen species of Afiosemion have been described (90 species), all of them have very diverse and original colors. It ranges from sky blue to fiery red. This type of fish is very hardy, which is due to the extreme conditions in which they live in their natural habitat. They have to deal with strong temperature changes and even drying out of water bodies; changes in water parameters are frequent. Life in conditions of alternating seasons of drought and rain has hardened the Afiosemions. Fish of this species have a slender and elongated body. The dorsal fin is slightly offset towards the tail. And the tail has an unusual shape in the form of a trident. To make it more convenient to catch insects that fall into the water, nature provided them with a directional

up the mouth. An aquarium with a volume of about 60 liters is optimal for keeping aphiosemions. Their lifespan is 2-3 years. Fish of this species are quite peaceful and get along well with other types of peace-loving fish. But it is not recommended to select fish with veil fins as neighbors for them, since Afiosemions can bite them.

Feeding

Ternetias are unpretentious to food and are omnivores. Diet components:

Serve frozen and live foods. Do not overuse dry food. Food must be near the surface of the water so that the thorns can eat it. Feed your pets 1-2 times a day in portions eaten within 3-5 minutes. When buying food, check expiration dates. Frozen food cannot be re-frozen.

Blue Jack Dempsey

Many consider Blue Dempsey to be the most beautiful of the aquarium cichlids. It is a variation of the eight-striped cichlazoma, well known to aquarists. The color of the fish is rich blue with a magnificent shimmering effect. As they grow and mature, this color becomes even more vibrant. The size of adult individuals is up to 20 cm, and this should be taken into account when selecting the volume of the aquarium. Its volume must be at least 150 liters.

This type of fish can be called quite calm and peaceful. Therefore, they get along well with other cichlids of approximately the same size.

Compatibility

Ternetias are peaceful and active aquarium fish.

They get along with species of similar size and character and harmless catfish:

Compatibility with those with veil fins, predators and other large fish is low; thornia is not compatible with the following species:

Clown botia (Chromobotia macracanthus)

These bottom fish belong to the Loach family. The main body color is yellow-orange. Against this background there are three transverse black stripes. They have the shape of a wedge that tapers towards the belly of the fish. Their coloring will not leave anyone indifferent - it attracts and makes the fish very popular. And in some countries these fish are called tiger bots.

To keep clowns you need a fairly large aquarium. Adults grow up to 25 cm. This is a schooling fish, it is better to keep it in groups. You also need to worry about organizing the space inside the aquarium - these fish love to hide in grottoes as a whole flock. It is better to make the lighting dim. Neighbors can be almost any fish of approximately the same size, even some types of aggressive cichlids.

Description

Ternetia is a small aquarium fish. Grows up to 5.5 cm.

Appearance

Ternetia has a tall and laterally flattened body. The anal fin is wide, occupies half of the body, the dorsal fin is narrowed. A small adipose fin is present. The fins are translucent. In the common thorn, three dark vertical stripes run along the silvery body: the first crosses the eye, the second is located at the end of the gill covers, the third - from the beginning of the upper fin to the lower part of the abdomen.

Lifespan

Characins live up to 4 years, like many modest-sized fish.

Veiltail Goldfish

Among all the variety of goldfish, veiltails are deservedly considered one of the most beautiful. They are very common in home aquariums. But it is important to create comfortable conditions for their living. Adult fish can grow up to 20 cm in size. The volume of the aquarium should be selected at the rate of 50 liters per individual. The aquarium should not have any decor with sharp edges, on which the fish could injure their fins and elegant tail. And, of course, there should be no aggressive “neighbors” who could hurt them.

Veiltails have an egg-shaped or spherical body. There are a variety of colors available. But the most important decoration is the thin and very long fins, which resemble a veil when the fish moves. The tail looks especially impressive - it can be several times the size of the fish’s body.

Maintenance and care

Breeding thorns and caring for fish at home is quite easy, since the phenotype is unpretentious and adapts well to any living conditions. When choosing a container for keeping thorns, you need to focus on the number of individuals and the lifestyle of the fish. Since the species prefers to live in schools, thornets are placed in the aquarium in a small flock of 6–7 pieces. One fish requires 10 liters, so for seven pets you should purchase a tank with a capacity of up to 100 liters so that the fish have somewhere to swim.

You can use any soil for an aquarium; experts recommend choosing coarse sand or pebbles as filler. Vegetation is planted alive, but in small quantities, since pets like to swim a lot and actively. The best option for placing flora would be to plant plants along the edges of the tank, so that there is plenty of free space in the center.

Water parameters:

• hardness – 5–18 dH;
• acidity – 6–8.5 pH;
• temperature – 22–30C.

The fluid in the reservoir is replaced weekly, updating 25% of the volume. Lighting can be artificial or natural; daylight hours are 10 hours. The main thing is that the light bulbs are not placed close to the surface of the water, otherwise the pets will get burns. An aerator and filter must be installed in an artificial reservoir to maintain the necessary conditions. Additionally, the aquarium is equipped with a lid or net, since excessive activity may cause the fish to jump out.

Glofish

The uniqueness of these fish is that their appearance was the result of the efforts of geneticists. Their DNA was manipulated to place marine coelenterate genes. The experiment was successful, and some species acquired an amazing ability for biological luminescence (fluorescence). Just add a blue or UV lamp to your aquarium to see your fish shine like a real neon sign. But even without such tricks, the glofish looks very impressive, thanks to its bright color.

Catfish Panak

Black-lined panak is a beautiful aquarium fish from the Chainfish family. The body is elongated, up to 30 cm in length, covered with black and gray longitudinal stripes. The eyes are large and red. Panaks are kept singly in aquariums of 200 liters or more. The optimal water temperature is 23-30°C, pH 7, dH up to 16°. There should be natural driftwood in the pond, since cellulose is necessary for catfish for proper digestion. Panakas feed on plant foods and clean the aquarium of algae.

Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

Guppies can confidently be called the most popular among amateur aquarists. Such fish have not lost their popularity even taking into account their long history of existence. And the secret of such popularity is its bright color (typical of males) and ease of care. Representatives of this genus are very easy to breed, which gave impetus to active breeding work on the development of new species.

The fish is small in size (the female is usually larger than the male and not so bright). Breeders are experimenting not only with colors, but also with the shape of the fish’s tail. Exhibitions are regularly held in different countries and at the international level, at which awards are presented to the best representatives of the species.

Sex differences

If the owner decides to start breeding, he must be able to distinguish a female from a male. Sexual differences in fish become noticeable at 7-8 months.

There are a number of criteria for distinguishing

You should pay attention to the following features:

• Color - males are more brightly colored.
• Body - females are fuller and larger.
• Anal fin - in females it is longer and rounder.

According to the observations of experienced aquarists, a male can be distinguished from a female by behavior. He swims around her at high speed.

Pearl gourami (Trichogaster leerii)

A variety of labyrinth fish that will decorate any aquarium. The body of the fish has a silver-violet color with many small spots that look like a scattering of pearls. These spots literally begin to shine during the spawning period. On the abdomen, the fins have transformed into long filaments with high sensitivity and help them study the environment.

Gourami grow up to 12 cm. It is not necessary to organize forced aeration for them in the aquarium. Representatives of this breed have the ability to inhale atmospheric air, so it is enough to provide them with such access.

Breeding

Thorns do not have problems with breeding, so even a beginner can get offspring after reading the rules and requirements.

Interesting video: How to understand when to place fish for spawning?

To begin with, a suitable pair is selected. A week before the expected spawning, the fish are placed in separate containers and fed generously with high-protein food. Also at this time you need to prepare the spawning tank. For this, take a container of 35-40 liters. Plants with small leaves are placed at the bottom, which will become a natural obstacle for fish so that they cannot eat the eggs. Parameters for the spawner:

• Temperature from +24 to +26 degrees;
• Hardness about 4 dGH;
• Acidity 7 pH.

First, the male is placed in the container. When he settles in, after a few hours you can transplant the female. The aquarium is then completely shaded and left until the morning.

The beginning of spawning is the bright rising sun early in the morning (or artificial light). The female begins to spawn. During the entire process, one aquarium fish can lay up to 1000 eggs. After they are fertilized, the breeders are placed back in the community aquarium.

Within 24 hours, the eggs hatch into fry. When the yolk sac supplies run out, they begin to feed on their own. This usually happens on the third day. Live dust, ciliates and artificial food for babies are perfect as initial food.

At the age of 6-7 months, the fish reach sexual maturity. Reproductive function lasts up to two years.

Astronotus

Astronotus is a cichlid reaching a length of up to 35 cm. Natural color is black-gray with rusty-red spots; Albinos are also found in captivity. In addition to their memorable appearance, these fish have developed intelligence, are able to recognize their owner, allow themselves to be stroked and take food from hands. Astronotus are kept alone, in pairs or together with other species of similar size. For 1 fish a volume of 400 liters is required. Good filtration and aeration are required, as well as control over the content of nitrogenous compounds.
