当我们考虑与海洋水族馆鱼有关的“适应”一词时,我们通常会想到相对较短的时期(在业余爱好者的帮助下)它们逐渐适应新系统中的温度,pH和其他水参数。但是实际上,引入后需要几天到几周才能在新的水族馆环境中完全适应条件和其他牲畜。
It’s during this period that certain health and compatibility problems are most likely to arise, so hobbyists must be especially vigilant and take precautions to ensure their new aquatic charges adjust to their new digs successfully. Here are a few issues to watch for in those first crucial weeks:
#1 The fatal leap
Frightened fish have the potential to leap from an uncovered tank to their death at any time, but never are they more skittish and prone to jumping than during the first few days in a new tank—especially after lights out on that first night. Stands to reason, doesn’t it? After all, how would you feel if you were shoved unceremoniously into a room full of strangers, some of whom appear to resent your arrival, and before you could even get your bearings, someone suddenly shut off all the lights? You’d probably be pretty jumpy, too!
Keeping the tank well covered is the most obvious solution to this problem, but it’s also helpful to arrange the rockwork so there are plenty of hiding places not already claimed by established residents, minimize human activity outside the tank, and provide a gradual change in the lighting scheme from daylight to dusk to dark. I also sometimes leave a room light on during this period so the new fish isn’t plunged into complete darkness when the tank lights turn off.
#2 The hunger strike
以为你在隔离期间克服了这个问题吗?不幸的是,在喂食的鱼并不少见LFS并在隔离区域中介绍了带有新坦克友的展览水族馆时,要脱掉饲料。通常,这个hunger-strike behavior是临时的,一旦它在新家中变得舒适,鱼就会出现,但是我已经有几周的鱼类垃圾垃圾了。
如果这种行为持续存在,请准备靶向喂食饥饿的标本,或者以更难抵抗的东西吸引它(例如,在半壳上切碎的蛤/蛤/蛤,Live Mysids,Live Mysids,Live Ghost Shrimp等)。
#3坦克友欺骗
兼容性问题最有可能立即或在引入一条新鱼后立即或不久(并不是说它们以后无法实现) - 无论是新人被既定标本所欺负,反之亦然。有时,侵略是短暂的,并逐渐消失,但其他时候有必要去除一个标本或另一个标本(侵略者或侵略者)来防止伤害或死亡。
在新鱼的适应期间非常密切关注所有标本至关重要,并准备在严重的情况下迅速采取行动,并注意到持续的侵略。
#4 Succumbing to stress
适应另一个水族馆,一组水参数,坦克伴侣的社区可以强调一个新标本,以至于它会生病并最终屈服。实际上,许多“神秘”的鱼死亡可能归因于这种现象。
针对不必要的压力的最佳防御是提供尽可能治疗的水族馆环境,这意味着保持稳定,适当的水温,pH和比重。将溶解的污染物保持在最低限度;最大程度地减少样本之间的侵略性相互作用;最小化储罐外运动和活动;提供各种高质量,适当的食物;提供充足的藏身处;等等
