ʻO Cynotilapia afra a ʻīlio cichlid paha (Latin Cynotilapia afra, English afra cichlid) kahi mbuna kala ʻōniʻoniʻo ʻia mai ka loko ʻo Malawi ma ʻApelika.
Noho i ke kūlohelohe
ʻO Cynotilapia afra (ma mua Paratilapia afra) i wehewehe ʻia e Gunther i 1894. Unuhi maʻalahi ka inoa genus i ka dogtooth cichlid (no laila ka doggy cichlid), a wehewehe i nā niho ʻoi loa a me nā niho i uhi ʻia i kēia genus o Malawian cichlids. He hopena ia i ka loko ʻo Malawi.
Hoʻolahalaha nui ʻia ka ʻaoʻao ma ke kahakai komohana ʻākau a hiki i Ngara. Ma ke kahakai hikina, hiki ke loaʻa ma waena o Makanjila Point a me Chuanga, Lumbaulo a me Ikombe, a ma nā mokupuni ʻo Chizumulu a me Likoma.
Noho kēia cichlid i nā wahi pōhaku a puni ke kahakai. Loaʻa lākou i nā hohonu a 40 m, akā ʻike pinepine ʻia ma ka hohonu o 5 - 20 m. Ma ka nahelehele, noho hoʻokahi nā wahine a noho paha i nā hui liʻiliʻi i nā wai hāmama, kahi e hānai nui ai lākou i ka plankton.
Teritori nā kāne, pale i ko lākou ʻāina i nā pōhaku, a hānai nui ʻia i nā limu fibrous uaua e hoʻopili i nā pōhaku.
ʻAi maʻamau nā kāne mai nā pōhaku kokoke i ko lākou home. Akoakoa nā wahine ma waena o ka wai a hānai i ka plankton.
Wehewehe
Hiki i nā kāne ke ulu a 10 knm, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā wahine a liʻiliʻi i ke kala. He kino elongated ko Cynotilapia afra me nā kaha polū ʻeleʻele a me nā ʻalani ʻeleʻele.
Eia nō naʻe, nui nā lau kala like ʻole e kaukaʻi ʻia i ka iʻa kahi i kū mai ai nā iʻa.
ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻaʻole melemele ka lehulehu mai Jalo Reef i ke kino, akā he fin dorsal melemele kona. I nā lehulehu ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻohe melemele i ke kala, ʻoiai ma Kobue ke kala nui.
Ka paʻakikī o ka ʻike
He iʻa nui ia no nā aquarist holomua a me ka ʻike. Maʻalahi paha e mālama, e like me ka makemake o ka aquarist e hoʻololi pinepine i ka wai a mālama i nā kūlana wai kūpono.
He cichlid akahai iki ia, akā ʻaʻole kūpono i nā aquarium lehulehu a ʻaʻole hiki ke mālama ʻia me nā iʻa ʻē aʻe ma mua o nā cichlids. Me ka ʻike kūpono, hoʻololi maʻalahi ia e hānai, hoʻonui maʻalahi, a hānai maʻalahi ʻia nā ʻōpio.
Ka mālama ʻana i loko o ka aquarium
Pono ka hapa nui o ka aquarium i nā puʻu pōhaku i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e hana i nā ana me nā wahi liʻiliʻi o ka wai hāmama i waena. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi e hoʻohana i kahi lepo one.
Loaʻa i ka Cynotilapia afra ke huki i nā mea kanu ma o ka ʻeli mau ʻana. Nā palena wai: ka mahana 25-29 ° C, pH: 7.5-8.5, ʻoʻoleʻa 10-25 ° H.
E hoʻohaʻahaʻa nā cichlids Malawian ma lalo o nā kūlana wai maikaʻi ʻole. Hoʻololi i ka wai mai 10% a 20% i kēlā me kēia pule e pili ana i ka hoʻoili olaola.
Hanai ana
Herbivorous.
I loko o ka aquarium, e ʻai lākou i ka meaʻai paʻa a me nā mea ola, nā flakes kiʻekiʻe, nā pellets, spirulina a me nā meaʻai cichlid omnivorous ʻē aʻe. E ʻai lākou a hiki i kahi e hiki ʻole ai iā lākou ke hoʻoulu i ka meaʻai, no laila e akahele loa i ka nui o ka hānai ʻana.
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi e hānai iā lākou i nā meaʻai liʻiliʻi i nā manawa he nui i ka lā ma kahi o hoʻokahi ʻai nui.
E ʻae ka iʻa i ka hapa nui o nā meaʻai i hāʻawi ʻia, akā ʻo nā mea kanu e like me spirulina, spinach, a me nā mea āpau e pono ai ka hapa nui o ka papaʻai.
Hoʻohālikelike
E like me nā mbuna he, he lawaiʻa kolohe a he teritori ka afra e mālama wale ʻia i kahi laha a i ʻole ka pahu wai hui.
Ke kāwili ʻia, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hōʻalo ʻana i nā ʻano like. He hana maʻamau ka mālama ʻana i hoʻokahi kāne me nā wahine, ʻoiai he polygamous a harem kēia ʻano.
ʻOi loa ka laha i nā lālā ʻē aʻe o ka ʻano like, a ke kōkua nei ke alo o kekahi e hoʻopau i ka huhū.
ʻOkoʻa moekolohe
ʻOi aku ka nani o ke kala o nā kāne ma mua o nā wahine.
Hoʻohana hānau
No ka hānau ʻana, paipai ʻia kahi hui hānau o hoʻokahi kāne a 3-6 wahine.
Hū malū ka ʻōlohelohe ʻana. E koho ke kāne i kahi ma waena o ka pōhaku a ʻeli paha i kahi lua ma lalo o kahi pōhaku nui. E ʻauʻau ʻo ia a puni ka puka o kēia wahi, e hoʻowalewale nei i nā wahine e pānaʻi me ia.
Hiki iā ia ke hoʻoikaika i kāna mau moemoeā, a pololei i mea e hoʻopau ai i kēia huhū, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mālama ʻana i 6 mau wahine i loko o nā kahua hana. Ke mākaukau ka wahine, ʻauʻau ʻo ia i ka pūnaewele e hoʻomoe ai a hoʻomoe i nā hua ma laila, a ma hope e lawe koke ʻo ia iā lākou i loko o kona waha.
He kiko ko ke kāne ma ka fin anal e like me nā hua o ka wahine. Ke hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e hoʻohui iā lākou i ka brood i loko o kāna waha, loaʻa maoli iā ia ka sperm mai ke kāne, no laila momona ka hua.
Hiki i ka wahine ke pā i kahi hua o 15-30 mau hua no 3 mau pule ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka ʻai ʻauʻau manuahi. ʻAʻole ʻo ia e ʻai i kēia wā. Inā hoʻokūpilikiʻi nui ka wahine, hiki iā ia ke kuha aku a ʻai ʻole paha i ka puaʻa, no laila pono e mālama inā hoʻoholo ʻoe e neʻe i ka iʻa e hōʻalo i ka make ʻana i ka pā.
Loaʻa paha i ka palai kekahi ʻeke yolk ke hoʻokuʻu ʻia lākou a ʻaʻole pono e hānai ʻia a hala wale ia.
Inā hoʻokuʻu ʻia me ka ʻole o nā ʻeke yolk, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka e hānai koke. Nui lākou i kaʻae ʻana i ka nauplii hulu hānai mai ka wā hānau.
