The realm of human interaction can be remarkably complicated. But generally speaking, as long as certain social conventions and legal constraints are observed, most people will manage to coexist in peace and seldom resort to violence. Only in cases of extreme privation do we actually choose to eat one another!
Unfortunately, the fish in your new saltwater aquarium won’t see things the same way. If you aren’t careful in selecting compatible specimens, the fish in your tank will be constantly at—or in—each other’s throats. So, think盐聪明并在为盐水社区选择鱼时避免使用这些常见的兼容性错误:
1.结合捕食者和猎物
大鱼吃一点鱼。这种基本的自然法则并不是因为标本被从野外带走并放在水族馆中而被剥夺。豹肉酱(Cromileptes altivelis)您关注的是,如果一所蓝绿色的Chromis学校(Chromis viridis)游泳。并记住,某些鱼类(例如各种青蛙鱼类)几乎可以像它们一样大。即使是主要是草食物种,也没有足够小的罐装坦克伴侣来吞噬他们的嘴巴。
2. Same species, multiple specimens
尽管也有例外,同种个体(成员of the same species) tend to fight like cats and dogs in aquariums where space is often too limited to allow more than one specimen to establish a territory. And the more confined the aquarium space, the more intense these territorial disputes become. Thus, it’s generally best to keep only one individual of any given species per tank.
在添加同类物(同一属的成员)时,谨慎行事是明智的。两个斑马瘤genus, for instance, will be more inclined to fight when kept together than, say, a yellow tang (斑马瘤flavescens)和科尔的唐((Ctenochaetus strigosus)。
3.添加外观或资源竞争对手
蔑视熟悉的品种并不严格限于特定于特定的人或同类物。通常,两个无关的物种在颜色或形态上非常相似,具有相同的饮食偏好,或者倾向于在礁石上占据相同的生态位,也会“锤击”。
4.引入臭名昭著的流氓
Some fish are simply “naughty by nature.” It just seems to be in their DNA to make life miserable for tankmates. Certain triggerfishes, for example the undulate triggerfish (巴厘岛stapus undulatus),变得如此大和好战,以至于他们确实需要一个水族馆。众所周知,虽然身材矮小,虽然身材矮小,但虽然身材矮小,因此必须非常谨慎地选择他们的坦克伴侣,否则应该自己保留。
“naughty by nature” I think the damsels come in this category admittedly at 48L my tank is small I brought two yellow tail damsels now I have one and as soon as I upgrade that is going as well. I can not take the risk of it harassing any other fish I might buy
感谢您的分享,David!摆脱Yellowtail少女的替代方法是在您存放新水族馆时将其隔离在单独的水箱中。然后,在引入更多和平物种后,将其添加到混合物中。这样一来,它将失去“家庭坦克优势”,并且更有可能在社区中表现出来。
