Abantu abaningi banquma ukuthenga ama-piranhas ukuwagcina ku-aquarium yakho yomuntu siqu. Abanye babo bakhangwa ukubonakala kwengozi nemfihlakalo ezungeze lezi zinhlanzi, kanti abanye bamane bazibheke njengezibonelo ezikhangayo nezihle ukuba nazo njengezilwane ezifuywayo ezingavamile.
Nokho, abalandeli abambalwa abazi ukuthi kanjani hlukanisa phakathi kwe-piranha yeqiniso ne-piranha yamanga, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-pacus. I-pacus ingeyomndeni ofanayo nama-piranhas, i-Serrasalmidae, futhi babe nokubukeka komzimba okufanayo. Ziyizinhlanzi ezidabuka ezindaweni ezishisayo, kodwa kunomehluko oyinhloko ozihlukanisa nama-piranha wangempela mayelana nokuziphatha nezici.
Izinhlobo ezingamanga zama-piranha
Eqenjini elikhulu lezinhlobo ezididwe ama-piranha kukhona ama-pacus. Nakuba zingase zibonakale zesabisa ngokubukeka, i-pacus ngokuvamile izolile. Kuleli qembu, sithola izinhlobo eziningana eziphawulekayo:
- i-piranha ebomvu: Incane kunazo zonke izinhlobo ze-pacu. Lolu hlobo lungakala Amasentimitha angama-70 yinde futhi inombala osawolintshi ogqamile esiswini sayo, okusinika igama elithi piranha ebomvu.
- I-piranha emnyama (Serrasalmus rhombeus): Lolu hlobo lwaziswa kakhulu ngabathanda ukuzilibazisa ngenxa yokuphila isikhathi eside nobukhulu balo. Bangakwazi ukukala ngaphezu imitha elilodwa nengxenye ekuvuthweni futhi ngokuvamile ziba mnyama noma ezimpunga ngombala.
Izici ezijwayelekile ze-pacus
Okuthile okujwayelekile kwe ama-piranhas Ubukhulu bamehlo azo, avame ukunikeza umbono wokuthi abona kahle kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, iqiniso lihlukile, ngoba lezi zinhlanzi azinawo amandla okubuka amakhulu, kodwa zikhokhela lokhu kuntuleka ngomqondo othuthuke kakhulu wokuhogela.
Uma unquma ukugcina ama-pacus noma ama-piranhas ku-aquarium yakho, kubalulekile ukucabangela usayizi nokuziphatha kwawo. Ngokuqondene nama-piranhas, kunconywa ukuthi izinhlobo ezitholiwe zilinganise phakathi Amasentimitha angama-30 no-35 lapho befika e-aquarium, ngoba enye yezinzuzo zokuba nalolu hlobo lwezinhlanzi ukukwazi ukubona ukukhula kwayo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Ukunakekelwa okuyisisekelo kwama-piranhas emanzini
Ukuphatha kahle i-aquarium enama-piranhas kudinga ukucatshangelwa okuthile ukuze kuqinisekiswe impilo nokuphila kahle kwalezi zinhlanzi. Lokhu kunakekelwa kufaka phakathi ubukhulu be-aquarium, inani lezibonelo esizozigcina, ukudla kanye nezici zamanzi.
Usayizi nenombolo yama-piranhas ku-aquarium
Nakuba ama-piranha eyizilwane ezinobudlelwane endaweni yawo yemvelo, ekuthunjweni angahlakulela ukuziphatha okunolaka uma isikhala esanele singekho. Uma sinquma ukwethula amapiranha amaningana ku-aquarium efanayo, kuyatuseka ukuthi kube namakhophi ayisithupha. Esikhaleni esincane kakhulu, ukugcwala kwabantu kungaholela ekuziphatheni okunolaka ngisho nokubulalayo. Kuvame kakhulu ukuthi ama-piranha angangondliwe kahle agcine ehlasela ezinye izinhlanzi, kuhlanganise nabantu bohlobo olufanayo.
Isibonelo salokhu kuziphatha kulapho i-piranha enamandla, enamandla, eyondleke kahle ingase ihlasele futhi ishwabadele isifanekiso esibuthakathaka uma kungabikho ukudla okwanele.
Izimo zamanzi ezikahle
I-Piranhas idinga indawo ecophelela kakhulu maqondana nayo izinga lamanzi. I-aquarium yama-piranhas kufanele ibe nesistimu yokuhlunga ephezulu ukuze igcine amanzi ehlanzekile futhi engenawo i-ammonia, ama-nitrate nezinye izinto eziyingozi ezinqwabelana ngenxa yemfucumfucu yokudla. Lezi zinhlanzi, njengoba zidla inyama, zikhiqiza udoti omningi emanzini, ongashintsha amazinga ezinto ezinobuthi.
Izinga lokushisa elifanele le-aquarium ehlala ama-piranhas liphakathi nendawo 24°C kanye no-29°C. Mayelana namanani e-pH, ama-piranha ancamela indawo ene-acidic kancane, esukela phakathi kwe-pH engu-5.5 kanye no-7.0.
Kubalulekile futhi ukucabangela ukuthi lezi zinhlanzi zivela emanzini nge amazinga okukhanya aphansi. Endaweni yazo yemvelo, ahlala emifudlaneni nasemiseleni enezitshalo eziwugqinsi ezinciphisa ukukhanya okufinyelela phansi. Ngakho-ke, kunconywa ukuthi kusetshenziswe ukukhanya okuthambile ku-aquarium kanye nenani elihle lezitshalo zasemanzini ezihlinzeka ngezindawo zokucasha futhi zinciphise amandla okukhanya.
I-Piranha yokudla
Endaweni yawo yemvelo, ama-piranha ane- ukudla okuhlukahlukene futhi imikhuba yabo yokudla ihlanganisa nokuzingela de peces ziphila, nakuba nazo zidla inyama ebolile futhi, ngezinye izikhathi, izithelo nembewu ewa ezihlahleni. Ekuthunjweni, kuyadingeka ukuphindaphinda lokhu kudla okuhlukahlukene ukuze uhlale unempilo.
I-Los ukudla bukhoma kukhona inketho evamile, kodwa kubalulekile ukugwema ukusebenzisa de peces ezincane njengokudla ngoba zingaletha izifo ku-aquarium. Ezinye izindlela eziphephile zihlanganisa izingcezu zezinhlanzi eziqandisiwe, izimfanzi noma izingcezu zokudla kwasolwandle eziqukethe imisoco eyanele. Ukwengeza, kubalulekile ukufaka izithelo nemifino ngezikhathi ezithile ekudleni kwabo ukuze balingise imisoco ababezoyithola emvelweni.
Kunconywa ukuphakela ama-piranhas njalo ezinsukwini ezimbili, njengoba ziyizinhlanzi ezithanda ukudla okuningi bese kuba izikhathi zokugaya ukudla. Ithiphu kubagcini ukugwema ukubadlisa ngokweqile, njengoba ukudla ngokweqile kungabangela izinkinga zempilo futhi kuqongelele imfucuza emanzini.
Ukuhambisana kwama-piranhas nezinye izinhlanzi
Ngaphandle kwedumela lama-piranha njengezilwane ezidla ezinye ezinolaka, kungenzeka ukuzigcina nezinye izinhlanzi ku-aquarium, inqobo nje uma kukhethwa izinhlobo ezifanele. Nokho, lokhu akunazo izingozi.
Ngaphakathi kwe-aquarium, ama-piranhas azohlalisana kangcono nezinhlobo zosayizi ofanayo noma omkhulu. I ama-cichlids aseNingizimu Melika noma i i-armored catfish Bangamakhandidethi amahle ukwabelana nawo ngesikhala. Nokho, kufanele kube nendawo eyanele ukuze uhlobo ngalunye lube nendawo yalo.
Elinye isu lokugwema ukuhlaselwa ukwethula izinhlanzi ezivela usayizi omncane ezincane kakhulu ukuthi ama-piranha angakwazi ukucabangela inyamazane, njengama-tetra amancane noma ama-danios. Kodwa-ke, asikho isiqinisekiso sokuthi ama-piranhas ngeke agcine ewahlasele.
Ukuzalanisa okuthunjiweyo
Ngokuqondene nokuzalanisa ama-piranha, kuyinto engenziwa ezindaweni ezihlala emanzini ezinakekelwa kahle ezinendawo eyanele. Ngesikhathi sokukhwelana, ezinsikazi zifaka imali aphakathi kwama-1000 nama-5000 amaqanda emigodini elungiswa abesilisa ku-substrate. Amaqanda aphuzi achanyuselwa ngemva kwamahora angu-36.
Eziduna zivikela ngokukhethekile amaphuphu, zihlale zigada isidleke kuze kube yilapho ezisanda kuzalwa sezikhule ngokwanele ukuba zibhukude futhi zizinakekele. Ukuze ugweme ukuziphatha okudliwayo phakathi kwama-piranha ezingane, kubalulekile ukuwondla ngenyama ephilayo futhi uhlukanise ama-specimens ngosayizi wawo.
Ingabe kuyafaneleka ukuba nama-piranhas?
Nakuba ama-piranha anedumela lokuba izidalwa eziyingozi, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi izinhlobo eziningi ezivalelwe azibeki ubungozi obukhulu uma ziphathwa ngendlela efanele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, nakuba kungafanelekile ukufaka isandla sakho ku-aquarium, ama-piranhas emanzini asekhaya ngokuvamile anamahloni futhi angabi nobudlova kubantu.
Ukuba nama-piranha kungaba yinto ethokozisayo inqobo nje uma unezinsiza ezanele nolwazi lokuwanakekela ngendlela efanele. Kubalulekile ukuthi ungazitholi ngenxa nje yedumela lazo njengezilwane ezidla ezinye futhi uqinisekise ukuthi inhlalakahle yazo iza kuqala.
Ngesikhala esifanele, ukudla okufanele, kanye ne-aquarium ephindaphinda indawo yazo yemvelo, ama-piranha angaphila iminyaka 30 ekuthunjweni, ihlinzeka ngesipiliyoni esiyingqayizivele sabathandi be-aquarium hobbyists.
