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.
