The fashion for exotic animals can come and leave, it not the main thing. The main thing – responsibility of the owner on whom life of his pet, not important, the ekzot depends or not. Upon purchase of any animal it is necessary to be guided first of all not by the desires, but needs of future inhabitant of your house. Often in their satisfaction there is nothing difficult, and the majority of problems comes from simple ignorance. The interested I suggest to read to all how to support a sea horse.
It is required to you
- - aquarium not less than 100 liters and 50 centimeters high;
- - filter;
- - compressor;
- - live seaweed, corals and stones;
- - the frozen shrimps;
- - sea horses.
Instruction
1. Skates belong to a genus of sea bony fishes. And it means that them, as well as ordinary goldfishes, it is possible to contain in an aquarium. However it is necessary not to forget about the main nuance – the structure of a body of a sea horse which defines his movement. These lovely creatures move vertically, up-down, because of what they need special aquariums. The 100th liter aquariums have to serve as the minimum volume, and their height – to begin with a half a meter.
2. As well as for any fishes, the aquarium for sea horses should not remain a box with water. In it specially picked up equipment has to be located. The compressor and the filter are vital for such inhabitants of an aquarium. By nature skates have badly developed branchiate system. So their owner has to watch closely especially water quality if he wants to avoid diseases and even death of skates.
3. Desire to illuminate an aquarium will be natural to admire the pets from all directions. Here the main thing not to be overzealous – bright lighting will make skates nervous and timid. Besides, each lamp increases water temperature in an aquarium, and it has to remain within 23-24 degrees. For substitution of water the skates also have the scheme – no more one fifth part from total amount once in two weeks.
4. It is also important to fill harmoniously to fill an aquarium with seaweed, corals and different stones. First of all for convenience of sea horses – in a dream they cling tails to different ledges. In the second because all of us want a privacy and to small fishes too. Only in the presence of the shelter in an aquarium it is possible to count on receiving posterity which, by the way, at skates is born by males. And thirdly – successfully issued aquarium always emphasizes its inhabitants. Only it is not necessary to be fond and litter space with plastic strongly. Give preference to natural materials. Skates already live a little – only about five years.
5. And finally about the most important – about food. The nature played a dirty trick with skates: they have no stomach, so, they are always hungry. Most of manufacturers recommends to indulge the pets the frozen shrimps. But not royal, and usual size. And to feed at the rate of 6-7 pieces on one individual. Otherwise it is possible to overfeed skates and to strongly pollute water in an aquarium.
