I-Aulonocara baenschi (lat. Aulonocara baenschi) iyi-cichlid yase-Afrika ekhanyayo futhi engeyona enkulu kakhulu, ekhula ibe ngamasentimitha ayi-13 ubude. Ihlukaniswa ngombala wayo ophuzi ophuzi onemivimbo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emzimbeni kanye nebala elihlaza okwesibhakabhaka ku-operculum, edlulela ezindebeni.
U-Aulonocara Bensha uhlala eLake Malawi, nasendaweni elinganiselwe, ethinte umbala wayo futhi inezinhlobo ezimbalwa zemibala ehlukile, ngokungafani nabanye abantu base-Afrika.
Njengamanye ama-aulonocars, uBenshi umane akhiqize ku-aquarium. Kuliqiniso, ezimweni eziningi lokhu kwaholela ekuzalelweni nasekushoneni kwemibala egqamile ezinhlanzini.
Kubonakala ngokuthi izinhlanzi azinalo nolaka oluningi kunamanye ama-Afrika, futhi nangesikhathi sokuzala, ziyaphila noma zingaphansi. Ngeza kukho konke ukufaneleka nokulula, futhi uzoqonda ukuthi kungani ithandwa kangaka phakathi kwama-aquarists. Okukhanyayo, okungathobeki, okubonakalayo ngokwanele, kungaba umhlobiso wangempela we-aquarium yakho.
Ukuphila emvelweni
U-Aulonocara Bensha wachazwa okokuqala ngo-1985. Ibizwa nge-baenschi ngegama likaDkt.Ulrich Bensch, umsunguli weTetra.
Begcwele eLake Malawi, bathola eduze nesiqhingi saseMahler, eChipoka, eNkohomo reef ngaseBenga. Kunezinhlobo ezingama-23 ze-aulonocara sezizonke, yize kukhona ama-subspecies amaningi.
Ihlala ekujuleni kwamamitha ayi-4-6, kepha futhi kwenzeka ekujuleni okukhulu, imitha eli-10-16. Zingaphila zombili emihumeni futhi zakhe imihlambi emikhulu. Njengomthetho, owesilisa ngamunye unensimu yakhe nendawo yokuhlala, futhi abesifazane bakha imihlambi.
Ziphila ngokudla izinambuzane ezahlukahlukene ezifuna futhi zimba phansi enhlabathini. Ukuze bathole ukudla, bakha izimbotshana ezikhethekile ezizwelayo emhlathini. Zisebenza njengohlobo lwe-sonar, zisiza ukunquma umsindo ovela kwisibungu esigxilile.
Uma isisulu sesitholakele, siyibamba ngesihlabathi. Isihlabathi sibe sesikhafulelwa izigaxa nezinsalela zezinambuzane emlonyeni.
Incazelo
Ukukhula kuze kufike ku-13 cm, yize abesilisa futhi bengaba bakhulu, kuze kufike ku-15 cm nangaphezulu. Ukuze uthole umbala wawo ngokugcwele, owesilisa uzodinga kuze kube yiminyaka emibili. Kodwa-ke, baphila isikhathi eside ngokwanele, kuze kube yiminyaka eyi-10.
Abesilisa iningi labo liphuzi ngokugqamile, linemigqa eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emzimbeni kanye ne-patch eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ku-operculum efinyelela ezindebeni. Inhlanzi inekhanda elixegayo ngamehlo amakhulu. Abesifazane bampunga ngokukhanyayo noma okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ngemivimbo ensundu mpo.
Njengoba inhlanzi kulula ngokwanele ukuzala namanye ama-cichlids, manje sekunezinhlobonhlobo eziningi ezahlukahlukene zombala.
Kunzima kokuqukethwe
Ifanele kahle bobabili abanolwazi lwasemanzini nalabo abasanda kunquma ukuzama ukuthola ama-cichlids ase-Afrika.
Zinakekele nje, zondle, azithobeki.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, bahlukaniswa ngesimo esizolile, esibenza babe izinhlanzi ezifiselekayo kuma-cichlids avamile.
Ukondla
Yize iBenshi ingumninimandla onke, emvelweni idla kakhulu izinambuzane. Njengomthetho, lezi yizibungu ezahlukahlukene ezihlala emhlabathini, kepha futhi zidla noma yiziphi ezinye izinambuzane. Azinandaba neze nezitshalo futhi azizithinti.
E-aquarium, badinga ukudla kwamaprotheni: ukudla okunophawu lwama-cichlids ase-Afrika, i-daphnia, ama-bloodworms, i-brine shrimp, inyama ye-shrimp, i-tubifex. Ngalokhu kokugcina, udinga ukuthi uqaphele futhi ungondli njalo, kepha ngezikhathi ezithile.
Udinga ukondla izingane kanye ngosuku, ezinhlanzi ezivuthiwe amahlandla ama-5-6 ngesonto. Zama ukungadli ngokweqile njengoba bekwazi ukudla ngokweqile.
Ukugcina ku-aquarium
Amanzi eLake Malawi aqukethe amaminerali amaningi futhi aqinile impela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ihlanzekile futhi izinzile unyaka wonke.
Ngakho-ke ukugcina ama-cichlids aseMalawi, udinga ukugcina amanzi ehlanzekile ezingeni eliphezulu futhi ubheke nemingcele.
Ukugcina i-pair, kudingeka i-aquarium engu-150 litre, futhi uma ufuna ukugcina umhlambi, kusuka kumalitha angama-400 noma ngaphezulu. Kuyadingeka ukusebenzisa isihlungi esinamandla sangaphandle, futhi njalo ngesonto ubeke amanye amanzi endaweni entsha.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, hlola njalo inani le-ammonia ne-nitrate emanzini. Amapharamitha wokuqukethwe: ph: 7.8-8.6, 10 - 18 dGH, izinga lokushisa 23-28S.
Umhlobiso we-aquarium uyindaba yokunambitheka kwakho, kepha ukwakheka okudala kungamatshe nesihlabathi. Amatshe, noma itshe lentaba yesihlabathi, asiza ekwakheni izindawo zokuhlala eziningi ezidingeka ngama-cichlids ase-Afrika.
Futhi badinga isihlabathi, ngoba emvelweni nguyena olala ezansi ezindaweni zezinhlanzi.
Abantu base-Afrika abanandaba nezitshalo, noma-ke, bazidla empandeni, ukuze kusinde ama-Anubias kuphela nazo. Kodwa-ke, ama-aulonocars aseBensh awazithinti neze izitshalo.
Ukuhambisana
Ungazigcina uwedwa futhi umhlambi. Iphakethe livamise ukuba nesifazane oyedwa nowesifazane ohlanu kuya koyisithupha.
Abesilisa ababili bangagcinwa kuphela uma i-aquarium inkulu kakhulu futhi inezindawo eziningi zokucasha, lapho owesilisa ngamunye ezothola insimu yakhe.
Zizwana kahle namanye ama-cichlid anokuthula, afana nosayizi ofanayo. Uma igcinwa nezinhlanzi ezinkulu kakhulu, i-aulonocar ingamane idliwe noma ihlatshwe, kanti ezincane zingazidla.
Njengomthetho, ezinye izinhlobo zezinhlanzi azigcinwa e-aquarium nabantu base-Afrika. Kepha, ezingxenyeni eziphakathi zamanzi, ungagcina izinhlanzi ezisheshayo, ngokwesibonelo, i-neon irises, nase-catfish engezansi, i-ancistrus efanayo.
Zama ukungazigcini namanye ama-aulonocars, njengoba izinhlanzi zihlangana kalula futhi zakha ama-nzalo.
Ukungafani ngokocansi
Abesilisa banombala ophuzi ogqamile, kuyilapho abesifazane benombala onsundu ngemivimbo ephuzi emile.
Ukuzala
Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuzala ukugcina owesilisa nowesifazane abayisithupha ethangini elihlukile. Abesilisa banolaka kakhulu kwabesifazane, futhi i-harem enjalo ikuvumela ukuthi usabalalise ubudlova.
Ngaphambi kokuzala, owesilisa upendwe ngemibala egqame kakhulu, futhi kungcono ukutshala ezinye izinhlanzi ngalesi sikhathi, ngoba uzozijaha.
Kunzima ukufakazela ukuzalaniswa kwe-aulonokara, ngoba konke kwenzeka emhumeni oyimfihlo.
Abazali baphatha amaqanda ngemilomo yabo, ngokushesha ngemuva kokuzala, owesifazane uqoqa amaqanda emlonyeni wakhe, bese owesilisa awufake umquba.
Uzothwala amaqanda angama-20 kuye kwangama-40 kuze kube yilapho gazinga libhukuda futhi lizondla lodwa.
Lokhu kuvame ukuthatha amasonto amathathu.
