LALYUSES - CONTENT

Aquarium fishes of the Lalius belong to the family of belontiyevs to a group of labyrinthine fishes. Fish lalius is pretty peaceful, but very shy, because of this, its content requires many plants. Easily carry the lack of oxygen dissolved in water. If there are several fish in the aquarium, they always swim in flocks. Males are aggressive with each other - several males can be kept only in large aquariums, the territory of which they will divide into sections. These fish can not be kept with barbs and cockerels .

The content of lalius in the aquarium

Aquarium fish are suitable for keeping and breeding, although there are some rules that need to be adhered to if you want to admire their beauty and enjoy caring for them. The Lalii are very fond of a bright light. Plants in the aquarium should be a lot - in the thickets of algae the laliii are hidden. Plants must grow from the direction of the light, and have spaces for swimming. Also, the plants need floating plants.

The water temperature is between 18 and 24 ° C. In the aquarium, a heater with a thermostat should be installed. The acidity of water is pH -6.5 -7. In nature, laliiyas live in dirty water, but in the aquarium it is necessary to filter. Males can jump out of the aquarium, so the aquarium needs to be covered with glass, it also protects fish from colds by inhaling air outside the habitat.

For fish is preferable to a dark colored soil .

Fish like live food. They can be bloodworm, cyclops, daphnia. If dry food, then buy one that is designed for the smallest fish. Carry out fertilizing with plants. For example, algae, spinach or salad.

Breeding and maintenance of Mali lulius

Spawners are recommended to spend in April or May.

In the general aquarium, the male does not survive. Therefore, for spawning another aquarium with a volume of 10 - 20 liters and a water height of 10 -15 cm with soft settled water is needed. A couple of weeks of male and female are kept separately for stimulation of spawning. For the same purpose, the water temperature should be 24 ° C. Place several algae, the stems of which are elongated, as well as those that float on the surface of the water. The aquarium is covered, so that the active male does not jump out. For spawning, a couple or several fish are selected. In this case, there must be more females. The male on the plants builds a nest of air bubbles. The female usually hides, and the male finds it and chases the aquarium. Spawning and fertilization occurs when the nest is ready. The male bypasses the nest itself. The eggs can be up to 800. To prevent it from hammering a female, it is planted after spawning. An aggressive male can die if not ready to spawn. A day or two, the larvae appear, and the fry on the 5th or 6th day. Males are planted on day 4, when the larvae swim. Fodder for fry is "live dust", infusoria, rotifers. After two weeks, feeds are larger. To prevent competition and cannibalism, the male is sorted by size.
