tsihlidarium

Tsihlidarium Aquarium is specifically designed for the content of cichlids.

However, small species like apistogramm, nannakar, pelvikahromisov quite possible to have a fairly spacious usual ac variume with other ornamental fish. The situation is different large Cichlids - African tilapia, hromisy American tsihlazomy, astronotusy, geofagusy. |

Aquarium should be a fairly large body of water, the minimum reservoir capacity of 100 liters, while it is desirable that an aquarium was greater: from 200 to 1000 liters. To make biotope aquariums "Tanganyika" and "Malawi" (Nha Ca) is usually used stones: small strewn bottom of the large building, Mr. orcs and shelter, preferably by the number of fish. The presence of such shelters should be: African Cichlids - territorial fish, each occupies a definite safe haven and guarding it and the surrounding area from intruders uw-revirnye relations. Revere - a zone inhabited by fish or a pair of fish. It extends horizontally and vertically. It is desirable that the rock used in the decorated ing tsihlidariuma containing compounds (carbonates) of calcium and magnesium, because it helps to maintain high hardness and alkaline reac tion of water.

It is important to observe an even temperature, the lower limit of 20 ° C, the optimal - about 25 ° C. The plants cichlids, too indifferent, and therefore have to resort to the protection of underwater thickets. The easiest way: big and strong to rotkostebelnye plants (ehinodorus, anubias, Crinum) placed in the ground or pots, and then the roots, the surface of the pot and everything is closed pebbles, heavy enough to fish. Another way: at the surface of suspended plastic shelves with the ground, which planted grass dlinnostebelnye (gigrofila, kabomba, Ludwig and Dr.) Stem of these plants are located in the water. And yet another way: the same herbs to enhance the floating Styrofoam raft with a hole and. In two recent cases, it is difficult to break cichlids flexible, freely arranged stalks, it's easier to tear rooted plants.

It is interesting to observe the formation of couples in tsihlidari mind. A number of cichlids, a pair for life. Yes, and a personal, individual sympathy: it is arbitrary "intellectuals" partner not podsunesh, Score it to death. It is necessary that they themselves in the pack found each other, so that the owner Revere brought his girlfriend and took her through all three borders. The relationship of parents and children in these fish also more complicated than that labyrinth. Children are well aware of their parents, and those - their children. There are several types tsihlidariumov posed not only by their geographic ref attribute, but also taking into account the peculiarities of nutrition, behavior I, breeding, intraspecific and interspecific compatibility.
