Instruction
1. The best sterns for inhabitants of house aquariums are those which fishes eatof in the nature where they use natural food according to specific requirements and age. The majority tsikhlid - predators, they are aggressive in relation to small types and even to representatives of the family. But it does not prevent tsikhlida to eat also a vegetable forage (seaweed).
2. Living organisms are the best and full-fledged forage for all fishes. Therefore in all cases when an opportunity is represented, for feeding tsikhlid use living organisms. It is desirable also that food was various. A variety of food provides good condition of fishes, their intensive coloring and successful reproduction.
3. It is necessary to feed tsikhlid 1-2 times a day. The quantity of a forage should not be high. Surplus of a forage needs to be deleted as soon as fishes terminated is.
4. For large individuals of family tsikhlid a good forage are small earthworms, skobleny meat, small fish, caviar of frogs and tadpoles. Earthworms can be given entirely, but it is better to knife on small pieces and to give that quantity which fishes can eat for once.
5. Small types tsikhlid it is necessary to feed with trubochnik, a crank, water fleas. Whitebaits can be fed with a cut crank. Put a little crank on a small piece of glass and, holding it obliquely that blood flew down, quickly knife a crank before transformation into gruel. In order that fishes found a cut crank easier and ate it without the rest, it needs to be thrown into an aquarium a lump.
6. If necessary, tsikhlid apply the dried-up organisms to feeding, however the dry feed is insufficiently full-fledged. Usually it is an auxiliary object of food. As auxiliary and additional apply also various forages which are not used by fishes in nature (small crushed crude meat, a boiled egg yolk).
