Hasemaniya marginata


One of the most beautiful fishes of haratciny group.
Know it only not many aquariums. Possibly, and because young fishes are painted very modestly and have not a «commodity» kind. Centuries ago the author by chance acquired from ten the fries of unattractive serebristo-serogo color. On question about the name of these fishes the salesman uncertainly pronounced: «A sort of marginatusov». Was quite a bit to dig in directories, to specify the authentic name of my new nurse-children. This was complicated and that there is another fish, named nannostomus marginatus. About one and a half months passed, and my fishes, more faithful half from them, turning out males, were transformed. They began to sparkle by brilliance of pure gold, the dorsal and anal fins became red. These unusually mobile fishes on equal vied by brightness with the glorified neons and considerably excelled them by liveliness. The females looked some more modest, but also became naryadnee, painted in the color of the just cleaned table silver.
Since these fishes became one of best decorations of my aquarium economy. Small size (about 4 sm), they, not in example to its glorified relatives, are less choosy its maintenance and breeding. Though and for spawning soft, slightly sour water with the temperature 25—26 is necessary to them °S. Nerestyatsya they at depth about 1 sm in the small tselnosteklyannih vessels. Put a caviar aside on plants with the shallow foliage, for example on miriofillum. The development of caviar and larvae passes, as at majority of haratsinovih. The producers eat a caviar up, and after ikrometaniya of them it follows to transplant. With other kinds these peaceful fishes get along well, but in the separate aquarium the flock of marginatusov looks especially interesting.
