普通话是最受欢迎的海洋水族馆鱼之一,不幸的是,它不是最容易保留的鱼,绝对不建议初学者。使标志性龙黄更易于访问的一种方法是将它们作为圈养的育种,Ora过去做过,哪个Biota Aquariums现在提供.
Biota Aquariums是Biota Palau的大陆分支,该公司由托马斯·鲍林(Thomas Bowline)领导,他是一位熟练的水产养殖者,他繁殖了从巨型蛤到Threadfin Snappers和Bumphead parrotfish。最近,Bowline和Biota将目光投向了more ornamental species of fishwhich are more suitable for home aquariums, and their captive bred mandarins are the stars of their new lineup.
在事件的随机融合中,我们刚刚在Biota Aquariums开始运送小型观赏鱼类之前几周就建立了一个新的礁石坦克,而汤姆·鲍林(Tom Bowline)则在我们的家乡旅行时从事其他业务。汤姆(Tom)安排将货物发送给我们,以便他可以亲自检查佛罗里达州Biota Aquarium设施中运送的鱼的质量。
帕劳(Palau)的第一对圈养的饲养普通话圆锥体非常小,尤其是与我们通常从野外进口的野生鱼相比。鱼长约1.25英寸,或者在3厘米上的头发上仍然有些苍白,尚未完全发展出其颜色。
After such a long trip from Palau, to Florida, to Denver Colorado, the fish had managed to lose a little bit of weight during their journey. Thankfully, these being captive bred fish it was quite easy to offer them a variety of small foods and they quickly fattened up within about two weeks.
It’s been almost two months now since the pair of mandarins have been in our tank and they are beautiful, fat little gems. You might think (or hope) that being captive bred, these fish would eat pellets and flake foods but the mandarin gobies still retain some of the their predisposition for ‘good’ foods.
我们已经能够喂养几乎每种小的冷冻肉类食物,包括婴儿盐水虾,鸡皮脚架,切碎的mysis虾和卡拉努斯。对于他们的小尖头嘴,卡拉努斯仍然只是一个太大的触感,但是在这里,我们应该能够开始尝试更多的干食品,例如冷冻干燥的卡兰 - 恩(Calan-eeze),一旦被补充水,就应该开始尝试。
Biota Aquariums圈养的繁殖普通话gobies的特殊之处在于,它们确实是非常渴望的饲养者。尽管野生的普通话戈比可能只会略微吸引小肉食品,而这些圈养的饲养标本确实有强烈的喂养冲动。
Being still just a hair over 1.5 inches long now, our mandarins are still a bit shy, but they do not cower away from targeted clouds of the frozen foods we offer them. We suspect that over time these fish will actually come to associate us with the dinner bell, and will eventually come to beg for food like most normal aquarium fish.
当然,我们真正喜欢这些小宝石的东西是它们的完美结果。我们曾批评俘虏的育种鱼,以免出现缺陷和缺乏剔除,但是从迄今为止我们可以说的,圈养的育种工具似乎很小或缺少。
We have one male and one female captive bred mandarin goby from Biota Aquariums, and while they are not even halfway to fully grown, their coloration, finnage, and the shape of their face and markings are all on track to be every bit as beautiful as what we expect from wildSynchiropus、溶.
Sustainable harvest of mandarin gobies in the wild is definitely not a concern, but wild fish can have diseases or parasites, and most onerous of all, they will be a lifelong picky eater and may take years to eat frozen foods. Having seen, fed and grown Biota Aquariums captive bred mandarins for most of the summer, we feel that these fish will not only be easier to keep for most people, but that they will also be more robust and better thrive in a home aquarium environment.
预计Biota水族馆将推出多合一的,垂直整合的入门水族馆在接下来的一个月左右的时间里,我们预计他们的几种俘虏育种海洋鱼类也可以供转售商使用。在我们自己的一对圈养的饲养普通话中取得了巨大的成功,我们非常有信心向他们推荐给有感兴趣的水族员,他们有兴趣将这条鱼放在自己的水箱中。
