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.

The Tetra-fon-rio (flashlight)

Small, about 4 sm fish with oval, uploshennim from sides by body. Is led in reservoirs near Rio-de-Ganeyro.
This was one of the first haratsinovih fishes divorced by our aquariums still at the beginning of the thirtieth years. The forehand of body is silvery-rose with three dark transversal bars. Back-end, the dorsal, tail and anal fins are red, last at male — with the dark edging. At good samochuvstvii fishes are painted by the saturated rose-red tones as though luminous by the falling light. For what and they got its Russian name. But at the drop in the temperature of water, starvation and even at the fright of paint instantly fade. They are not so demanding to quality of water, as majority and sorodichey, however better feel and more successful spawn in the soft water at the neutral reaction Temperature of the maintenance 20—24 °With, spawning -26—28 “With. It is spawned in kurtinah of melkolistvennih plants which it hangs on, as though glued. The development of ikrinok takes place about days. The larval stage flows 3—4 days. On its ending the fries do not float in the layer of water, but as though creep on the leaves of plants and bottom of spawning-ground in search of mikrokorma. Prefer water defended, transparent, saturated by oxygen due to the vital functions of plants at good their illumination.

Ternetsiya

One of not many types of the haratsinovih fishes simple and simple in breeding. The high, compressed from sides body of these small (about 5 sm) fishes gives them the known likeness with youths of skalyariyami. The young individuals at which greater part of body are most interesting, the dorsal and anal fins are almost black, at the adult individuals serebristo-seroe body with two dark transversal bars. Growing, fishes get clear up, becoming less attractive. Along with the initial form is present and aquarium breed of vualevih ternetsiy with lengthened plavnikami. Polovozrelimi these fishes become about eight months. Life-span fishes about 4 years. For breeding preferably to use young individuals. Males, as a rule, are painted more dark. However above all difference — form of body, which at females more rounded in area of stomach.For spawning it is possible to use and framework aquariums with the defended plumbing water, with the 26—28°S temperature. Fishes eat up a caviar, what the bottom of spawning-ground must be closed in order to avoid by the layer of melkolistvennih plants or closed by net, failed which the caviar becomes through inaccessible for fishes. Light does not interfere with development of caviar and larvae, which passes in the terms general for the haratsinovih fishes. For the receipt of posterity it is possible to use also the transplanted pairs, and flocks of ternetsiy in aquariums by capacity no less than two buckets with the protective net for the rescue of caviar.The last years ternetsiy began to conduct less. They were «pressed» by the more bright and good-looking representatives of this group. But for the beginning aquarium the acquaintance with these fishes gives invaluable experience of their breeding and touch to the miracle of creation of a new life.

Thayeria boehlkei

Some larger previous (length about 6 sm). Slender, progonistaya fish of silvery color with the wide black bar along all body, the end of which goes down downward, going on the lower blade of tail plavnika.

For this original decoration the fish got the in the everyday use name of «kocheregka». Males from females differ by the more slender, smart addition. Terms of maintenance and breeding — general for haratsinovih, but these fishes, inhabitants of light clear waters, need the more spacious apartments for maintenance and spawning with the weekly partial substitution of soft water with the neutral reaction. A sharp change of its composition is to disastrous for these fishes. The author had sorrowful experience, when, getting at acquaintance notoriously healthy pair fishes, let out them in the general aquarium with neons and gratsilisami. Whereupon fishes almost at once perished. Other party of the fishes taken from the same economy, I trained to water of its aquarium gradually, during a few hours razbavlyaya by it water brought in bank together with oblikvami. Whereupon fishes successfully prigilis on a new place.

Neon

Beautiful fish opened only at the beginning of the thirtieth years in the river Amazonki basin. A few years it did not succeed to be divorced to the European aquariums, because it was not known, what terms these fishes live in and propagate oneself on its motherland. And place, where this beautiful fish was opened and from where brought it in Europe, some time made, to keep secret a monopoly on their hunting and delivery. Tell, that the accidental opening of this remarkable fish in remote parts of amazonian selvi helped to the adventurer being in need in poverty if not to get rich, but, at all events, to become on feet.
Not at once became known, that at itself on the motherland of fish live in the small rivers slowly current in the dusk of tropical forest. Under its pologom always not enough light, silty soil is dark, and the surface of water is cluttered up by the foliage falling off. The necessity of shading of spawning-grounds of neons for the normal development of caviar and larvae is exactly fated to these. The second provision of their maintenance — quality of water in the places of the natural dwelling of neons. The natural reservoirs lie on the silty peaty soils and accordingly have slightly a sourish reaction at the almost complete absence of soluble mineral matters. And they are filled up by threads of rain-water, I.e. almost distilled. By shove to beginning of spawning serves not only at neons, but also at the tropical most fishes upgrade of waters by the rain threads.
Not at once the aquariums knew all this. Still later they learned to create the required terms for these choosy nurse-children. During the row of years success in breeding of these wonderful and in that pore of very dear fishes accompanied to the aquariums of the small German small town supplying with these fishes in the entire countries of Europe. The «secret» of the so successful breeding of them consisted in composition local water which were made to use by habitants and including lucky aquariums. And in our country the neons are left in a 1955 year, when them learned to conduct aquariums of many countries.
For spawning of neons, as well as other haratsinovih is used by the tselnosteklyannie aquariums. Forasmuch as these fishes are very sensible even to the insignificant change of composition of water due to the admixtures of salts of metals or chemical matters, can get in the water contiguous with framework and aquarium putty. Pour water of the proper quality by layer about 10 see Vidergivayut the producers of different chaffs before spawning separately during 10 days. Place them in spawning-ground by pairs from evening, shading it from every quarter so that the dissipated light penetrated only from above by the narrow bar. Spawning takes place usually at dawn, whereupon transplant the producers. The caviar develops in the flow of days in darkness at the spawning 22—24°S temperature. The larvae hang on the walls of vessel and melkolistvennih plants and stay still to rassasivaniya of geltochnogo bubble about 4 days. Then they begin to float and feed on infusoria, kolovratkami or egg yolk. Preferably to feed them with the living mikrokormom in the conditions of the black-out aquarium examined with x-rays by the bar of dim light. The fries grow quickly and become polovozrelimi approximately for a 4 month. Besides the pair breeding landing is practiced on spawning of group of neons from 10—12 fishes in spawning-ground by capacity about 20 litres and more at the depth of aquatic post 15—20 see
In aquariums conduct neons of two kinds: neon and red neon. First measuring about 3,5 sm, male it a bit more shallow than female, is painted gay in colours by the bright dark blue-green bar along all body, under which from pectoral plavnikov to the tail lower its part reddens by the so bright «neon» light. Red neon hardly larger and still naryadnee, because at it bright red all lower part. By the falling even insignificant light the fishes glitter to ruby and by the overflowing emerald and turquoise paints, like jewels. And in the dusk of tropical reservoirs such colouring secures to these covey fishes the permanent visual contact with relatives.

Minor and serpasi

Also shirokotelie, uploshennie from sides fishes pressing visheopisannih fishes in hearts and aquariums of amateurs thanks to the more intensive colouring of body and plavnikov.

That and other kind are painted in the red color of tender rozoveyushih tones with red plavnikami, except for spinal, which has a black with the white mount. The representatives of both kinds are similar between itself. Serpasov distinguishes only dark transversal bar on the forehand of body. Both kind easily cross between itself, and to the modern aquariums in most cases it has to have business with the hybrid fishes. Albinos are the minor keys got Moscow amateurs in the middle of fiftieth years, pinky, semilucent fishes with the same plavnikami — are very beautiful. But crossing of them with fishes of initial forms diminishes intensity of the natural colouring at posterity.Terms of maintenance and breeding — general for haratsinovih. The spawning-ground must be darkened.

Geterorabdous

Is known under the name of gratsilis also. By birth from the same places, that and neons.

This small (about 4 sm) elegant fish is selected by the orangevo-krasnoy bar ablaze by the reflected light on background dark bar passing under it. The original «luminescence» of these fishes, as well as to the previous kinds, helps to be oriented in the group of sorodichey in the dark depths of tropical waters. These peaceful fishes are especially good in flock, that corresponds to the natural conduct of them in nature.
Males differ by the less sizes and more slender body, while the females are characterized by «womanlike» rounded of forms.
For spawning the temperature 25—26 is required °With, soft, defended, slightly acidified water by layer about 15 see Spawning passes at the weak luminosity, the development of caviar takes place in the flow of days, larvae — 3—4 days in the conditions of darkening. The aquarium for spawning is necessary tselnosteklyanniy. Adult fishes eat up its caviar, therefore after spawning they follow to be transplanted. Success of breeding in the great deal relies on the terms of growing, maintenance and combination of producers. Therefore for placing of geterorabdusov it is needed to locate by the couple of fishes, but by the group of young individuals. The sizes of these fishes predetermine their necessity in the shallow living forage both for rearing of fries, and at maintenance of adult fishes.

Diamond tetra (moenkauziya diamond)

On its forms reminds ornatusa, but it is distinguished, foremost, numerous spots sparse on all body and ablaze by the falling light, as little mirrors or diamond verges. Therefor fish and got its name. Males from females differ the lengthened dorsal and anal fins.The terms of breeding are general for the haratsinovih fishes. Fries of moenkauzii comparatively large and before other are able to eat up shallow tsiklop (dust).

Fundulusi and kalliurusi

The zoologists variously classify different types of these fishes, family haplohilusam. The Аквариумисты-amateurs name them traditionally, paying attention not to the anatomic features about which at times the specialists-sistematiki argue even, and on the original appearance our nurse-children, feature in their conduct and breeding.
As well as haplohilusi, these fishes are characterized by the prolate, progonistoy form of bodies, brightness and variety of colouring of males, than they differ from the modestly painted and more shallow females also. Some of them put aside a caviar in the carpet of supernatant plants, other throw it on soil of the shallow reservoirs drying up, whereupon the females perish, leaving a caviar able to be saved during drought, that with a new period of rains to continue a relay race of life in the revived temporal reservoirs.
These very beautiful fishes do not suit for the general decorative aquarium, because are shortlived, and for breeding need the special terms But the it is interesting to master their breeding to the naturalist-amateur.Pied fundulus — small, about 6 sm, fish painted in the korichnevo-krasnie tones, with plavnikami, orangevo-krasnimi, blue and crimson strips painted gay in colours, having liroobrazniy lengthened tail plavnik with the serebristo-belimi sharp edges. Females more shallow than males, with the tails rounded off, brownish, with dim reddish krapom. Conduct fundulusov at the temperature of 22—24°S, water is necessary to them soft, slightly sourish, height of its level in spawning-ground 5—7 sm, as soil use a peat crumb boiled and washed down. Ikrometanie of fishes takes place almost daily. In one reception female of vimetivaet about ten ikrinok in the superficial carpet from richchii or on soil. The terms of development of caviar strongly vary: on the average it develops for two weeks. Getting of soil, sharp lowering dry, as well as rise of temperature, can put on brakes development of ikrinok. But after pause, at the hit in the refreshed soft water with the slabokisloy reaction ripening passes speed-up, as well as becomes in the environmental conditions with the offensive of period of rains. Overcoming an early stage of feed by mikrokormom, molod grows and develops at the railway speed, becoming polovozreloy in age about three months.
Fundulus gulyaris (blue of fundulus) — most large among these types of fishes. Males achieve 12 sm, females some more shallow. Perhaps, the most beautiful representative of group has a body painted gay in colours by the blue arabesques with the red points and strokes, and style of colouring it is complemented mnogotsvetem plavnikov of fish. Is especially beautiful lengthened tail plavnik of male in the form of trident. However, male is so good-looking only, the females are painted much paler.Spawn gulyarisi at the temperature 22—24 °S. Voda it is required to them slightly sour, torfyanikovaya, soft, with addition of culinary salt from computation 1 tea-spoon on 10 litres of water, soil — peat crumb boiled and washed thoroughly. The caviar of fish is buried in soil, its development proceeds from one and a half about three months, with the latent stage. By shove to development of caviar podsushivanie of soil serves with caviar and subsequent apartment of it in the fresh defended water of the quality required for fundulusov. The large fries are reared by shallow tsiklopom.— subspecies of previous. Differs by the less sizes (about 9 sm), predominance in okrase of orange and reddish tones. The terms of breeding are similar to visheopisannim.
Kalliurus — small (about 6 sm) fish. Male is painted in the brownish tones with prozelenyu, on background which the mineral deposit places red spots. Dorsal, anal and tail fins — three-color, bluish at foundation, with the red bar in the middle and by the yarko-geltoy edging. Females more shallow and are painted in the faded dun tones. The terms for spawning are similar to visheopisannim, eliminating addition of salt. Layer of water for them 5—7 sm, spawn in richchiyu or directly on the peaty soil. The development of caviar takes place approximately for two weeks, in the moist peat. At lowering or at the rise of temperature about 30 °With the development of caviar is detained about 6 weeks and passes by the speed-up rate at creation of the normal mode in the more fresh soft water at temperature 22— 24 “With. Polovozrelimi fishes become in age about three months.

Scalyariya

The silvery, oblate from sides body of this fish with the luxurious dorsal and anal fins gives to these fishes shape of half moon. Their beauty is aggravated by the net brilliance of silvery scale, shaded by the transversal black bars on body, transitory and on plavniki.

Such is an initial form of skalyariy, getting in the aquariums of amateurs from pool Amazonki. In Russia they first appeared at the beginning of age and since remain one of favourite decorations of the aquariums appealing by originality and nobleness of forms of colouring and manner of swimming. Besides skalyarii, demanding to the cleanness of the water saturated by oxygen, at high its level, are simply created, that by them admired in the large aquarium-screen equip modern with amenities with the whole group of these remarkable fishes.
The Аквариумист-selectionist gets from breeding a skalyariy gladness, working above perfection and fixing in heredity of its nurse-children of the varied signs of varieties: black, smoke-coloured, silvery, vualevih and their derivative.
Reared in association of fishes of other kinds, skalyarii are enough tolerant in the relationships with the inhabitants of general aquarium. But the maintenance of whole group of representatives of this kind in the separate aquarium most interestingly and besides allows to select the folded pairs of producers. Their education well notedly on manner to stick together, to aspiration to win back its territory and to the manner of preparation of place for ikrometaniya. Thus the couple begins carefully to clear the areas of glass or submarine plants select by it from mucus and obrastayushih water-plants. And because every copy of skalyariy has its individuality, selecting the formed pair for transplantation in spawning-ground is not difficultly.
Composition of water for the life and breeding of skalyariy does not matter. Optimum temperature of maintenance of 22—24°S, spawning — 26—30°S. Aeratsiya of water by blowing through is necessary.
The parents care of caviar and molodi in the early age. During development of caviar (approximately three days) of skalyarii quite often carry it on other sheet of plant or on other area of glass. The larval stage of development of molodi proceeds about 5 days, whereupon fries already freely float and do not need guardianship of producers. Sexual distinctions at skalyariy are poorly expressed, although the heads of males look some more massive, and the forehead is more protuberant.

Kolyushka

Amazing fish. These small (only 6—8 sm) fishes got its name for its thorns, which their dorsal and abdominal fins doing by their inaccessible game for many predators were transformed in. Is most known also with lightness houses in the aquarium of kolyushka trehiglaya, the defensive of which is made by three pricking rays ahead of dorsal fin. This original defence is complemented by so hard and prickly abdominal plavniki and rows of the bone plates covering fish from sides like knight's latam. Fighter disposition of kolyushek as impossible more corresponds to their armed. Fishes these are very aggressive in relation to other kinds, and males bravely protect a caviar and molod, for the output of which they arrange under water original nests look like on the nests of tkachikovih birds or on building of ptitsi-shalashnika.We know none other fish, except for kolyushki, whose nests would have had not only nest platform, but also done from vegetable stem and fibres of wall and roof. The conduct of builder of this building is so notable — male of kolyushki. During the marriage period it literally blossoms by the bright paints, carefully, during a few days, erects its building, not allowing to approach to it other fishes, and then, after the original ritual of caring for, drives to the nest consistently a few females; vimetannuyu by them impregnates a caviar by molokami and about two weeks vigilantly guard a caviar and molod.Other kind — kolyushka devyatiiglaya, adopted so for the proper quantity of needles on back, differs by the velvet-black spawning dress of male which in ordinary time is had by olive with the dark points. To look after after their marriage conduct it is still interesting, because these fishes arrange the nests not on soil, but in the layer of water, strengthening them kurtinah of vegetation.

Perch

From this group the aquariumists successfully conduct two types of American perches — diamond and disc-like, and also native indo-chinese — glass perch.The American perches dwell in the net, transparent waters rich in oxygen. They well feel in aquariums capacity from 30 litres and more with the cool water and sandy soil. At the drop in temperature on 10єS become nonactive, experiencing this the «winter», as well as in nature, in the half asleep state. At temperature from the 15єS fish become active and are able to spawn. The range of temperature condition for perches is great, that allows to experience our winters them even in the opened pools. They prefer hard water, are undemanding in regard to the reaction of environment, but badly carry the volte-faces of temperatures, composition of water and lack of oxygen.Before landing on spawning the separate maintenance of raznopolih fishes is recommended. For them the anxiety about posterity is characteristic, which is assumed by male. Before ikrometaniem it digs up in sand pit which development of caviar and larvae under the vigilant supervision of male is in. Delete a female after ikrometaniya. Ripening of caviar takes place during two days. The larvae become freely floating fries in 4—5 days, whereupon usually transplant male. However its anxiety about posterity can last and long, so that, unless necessary in saving of maximal quantity of molodi, interestingly ponablyudat after the further development of relations in family of father-lone person.

Diamond perch

approximately about 6 sm grows in the aquarium terms, in the natural reservoirs about 10 see Body of this fish of uploshennoe, high. ON the brownish background the great number of brilliant dark blue-green points is sparse. Females more shallow and are painted paler.

Disc-like perch

is characteristic to its rounded off, in type by the oblate from sides body painted in the brownish tones with the dark transversal bars.

Glass perch

is taken by zoologists in the special family. Motherland of this fish — indo-chinese. One of originalneyshih fishes with the shortened, high, compressed from sides transparent body. At the young fishes it almost colourless, with age adopts a goldish tint with the bluish reflection on the tail part of body and on plavnikah. Fish is so transparent, that through its fabrics examine with x-rays a spine and air-bladder Temperature of maintenance room. Spawning -26—28 °The S. Razvitie caviars the about days flow, larval stage — two days. In spawning-ground water level 18—20 see Rear the fries by kolovratkami after «dust». The producers eat a caviar up. Is considered necessity round-the-clock to light the spawning-grounds by the dim dissipated light and poorly blow through an aquarium with molodyu for creation of insignificant interfusion of layers of water. Basic difficulty in breeding — saving of fries on the early stages of growth. The pubescence comes about 6 months, life-span a 3—4 year.

Betta (fighting fish)

Perhaps, the most widespread labyrinth fish wondrous beautiful, simple in regard to feeding and quality of water, comparatively simple in breeding. The initial form achieves a size about 7 see The vualevie cockerels shown out selection with the luxurious dorsal, anal and tail fins of males excel the maximum growth of wild form. Its name of fish was got for the extraordinary pugnacity of adult males. From this they are impossible to be held in one aquarium with competitors.
Fights of opponents, as well as caring for during spawning, very interesting spectacle. The excited opponents as though blossom by the bright paints. Their demonstrative poses of bodies with dissolute by plavnikami and branchial lids stuck out with the poured by blood reddening branchiaes salient from under them are wondrous beautiful. A the fight is cruel and persistent so that at times ends with death of one of scrappers, and even both. Sometimes they break off the fight with ragged plavnikami, quite often with the lips torn off or with the loss of eyes. Presumably, exactly the colourfulness and persistence of these original tournaments generated fascination of habitants indo-chinese by the fights of fishes, erected in status hardly whether national sport attracting a great number of audience and office worker by the article of large bets. Tell, that incandescence of passions during the fight of fishes is to not less, than on ippodromnih skachkah or on the soccer battles.
The so cruel games are alien to the home aquariums. But they served by the serious stimulus of domestication of fighter fishes on their motherland and subsequent destroying of the varied forms of magnificent cockerels with long plavnikami ablaze by the mother-of-pearl brilliance of scarlet, dark blue and emerald colors.
Females of cockerels — unattractive fishes with short plavnikami rounded off, although in the marriage mood and they become some brighter. Males, even poluvzroslie, differ by the more saturated colouring of bodies and lengthened plavnikami. Now the aquariums conduct fishes: with the scale of corporal color and bright red plavnikami, completely red, dark blue and green fishes or cockerels of mixed okrasa, plavniki of which overflow by the rainbow of all these colors.
In the quiet state and, especially at the drop in the temperature of fish some fade, priopuskaya plavniki and partly losing a brightness. But at the least excitation they adopt battle poses, dismiss plavniki and glitter by the brightness of colouring. To admire by them in such state, well to hold males in the lengthened aquariums-screens parted by the glass partitions. However, to drive a cockerel to the battle mood, it is enough to show it the own reflection, setting to glass of aquarium small mirror. Are most beautiful even in the quiet mood of fish of red color or corporal with red plavnikami.
Unfortunately, these charming fishes are shortlived. Duration of their life only one and a half-two year. Terms of their maintenance and breeding — general for the labyrinth fishes.

Makropod

Is known to our aquariums from the beginning of age. Since makes to use large popularity at aquariums for beauty of adult males at maintenance in the teplovodnom aquarium and especially in the marriage period, when the transversal bars of red and dark blue-green colors and lengthened plavniki of males blossom like rainbow, and fish, adopting demonstration poses, dismisses plavniki and sparkles by all its paints.

But so our fishes look only at the optimum temperatures and if they are reared on the various living sterns. At the same time at many amateurs, living in the unheated aquariums, fishes are painted much dimmer, stick to languidly and come alive only during feeding, because do not lose an appetite and at the ordinary room temperature.
Spawning of makropodov is especially interesting not only thanks to the brightness of marriage dress of fishes and to beauty of poses of male during caring for, but also thanks to the protracted anxiety about posterity. Male cares of ikrinkah and fries of about 10 days, renews a nest, sorts out and shifts ikrinki, collecting by mouth posterity running back and returning it back. Sometimes the female left in the aquarium of sufficient size helps male in the anxiety about posterity. But, presumably, this takes place only at the proper conduct of male which can be very aggressive even in relation to wife, and it has to be rescued in the jungles of plants. However transplant most at breeding of makropodov in the small temporal spawning-grounds aquariums females immediately after ikrometaniya, and separate males from fries, when those begin freely to float.
Makropodi — long-livers among the labyrinth fishes. At the favourable terms they live in aquariums on 8—10 years. Although the most successful producers are an approximately about half of this term.
Reared in the company of its sorodichey, these fishes are are aggressive in relation to the representatives of other kinds. If they grow in the general aquarium, become tolerant to the raznoporodnomu surroundings. The aquarium with makropodami must be covered by glass, because fishes are inclined to jump out from water.
Along with the initial form of makropodov, the selection shows out the semialbinos with the rose body covered only by the red bars and red plavnikami and so-called black makropodi with the body of temnookrashennim and without bars, but with long beautiful plavnikami.

Labioza

On look is similar with lyaliusom, but some larger it (7—8 sm). Colouring of males is similar with lyaliusami, but if the blue of lyaliusa glitters by nobleness of azure, spots and bars on the body of lyabiozi simply navy blue, and red bars wider, are not so elegant and have a krasno-korichneviy tint. On the whole fishes look more rough, than their elegant colleagues, but they simpler in maintenance and breeding. Fully fairly well lyabioza feels at the room temperature in the unheated water and more noticeable in the general aquarium, than their sorodichi. The female is painted paler, the dorsal fin is rounded off, sharp, as at male, and pectoral threadlike plavniki of bluish tint, while at males they reddish.

Spawning temperature 28—30 °The S. Glubina spawning-grounds 12—15 see The development of caviar lasts about 2 days, transplant a female immediately after ikrometaniya, male — since the fries begin to run from nest back. Build a nest from the bubbles of «suds» and ground up by fishes of richchii.

Cardinal

Fish from the same family, that and danio, but the zoologists select it in the special family. Motherland of this little (long about 4 sm) fish — reservoirs of South China.
But for last polveka they became domestic nurse-children of aquariums. From the initial form the domestic breed was shown out — vualevie cardinals with lengthened plavnikami.

The initial form of cardinals is very attractive. This is elegant progonistaya fish painted in the russet tones with the goldish bar along all body and red plavnikami. The young cardinals which the bar along body shines at by the dark blue-green color are especially good. Presumably, this original identification signal for sorodichey, similar call Maugli: «We one blood.», appropriate in association of these peaceful fishes, which do not eat up a neither caviar nor fries, and live in the overgrowing shallow reservoirs with the not always clear water.
Fishes are undemanding to composition of water, not bad feel at the ordinary room temperature, although for their growth and spawning are optimum 22—24 °S. Pri maintenance of flock of these fishes in the separate aquarium cropped with kurtinami of plants at the low water level, they successfully propagate oneself without transplanting in the special spawning-ground. Of course, in such terms of fries grows from the shortage of mikrokorma less, but such reproduction is enough for the timely filling of natural departure of fishes in, the life of which proceeds one and a half-two year. At the group maintenance, thus in group it is desirable to have males there are more of females in 1,5—2 times, each of which throws all for a few ikrinok (2—5) daily during 3—4 weeks, whereupon the period of rest follows about one and a half weeks, and then the cycle repeats oneself.
At the desire to get and save a maximal quantity of odnovozrastnoy molodi, males and females are held by about 10 days separately, and then transplant in spawning-ground by depth about 20 sm, where the female throws on 20—30 ikrinok simultaneously, as though compensating the forced delay of daily ikrometaniya. The development of ikrinok proceeds about two days. In the larval stage molod is immobile and develops due to the geltochnogo bubble, and as soon as the fries begin to float, the mikrokorm is necessary to them. Adult by male from females distinguish more slender forms, while females completer.
