ʻOiai he ʻano omnivorous kēia ʻano iʻa iʻa, ʻo nā meaʻai mea kanu ke kumu o kā lākou ʻai. No laila, pono e hoʻokomo i ka meaʻai me nā mea hoʻohui, e like me ka spinach, zucchini, lettuce, peas, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, pono e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma lalo o ka aquarium, kaomi i lalo, no ka laʻana, me ka pōhaku. Mai hoʻowahāwahā i nā lau ʻai. Hoʻokahi manawa i ka pule, hiki iā ʻoe ke lawelawe i ka meaʻai ola - ʻo ka brine shrimp, nā ilo, nā crustaceans liʻiliʻi, nā larvae insect. Manaʻo ʻia e hānai i ke ahiahi ma mua o ka hoʻopau ʻana i ke kukui.
ʻIke ʻia ka iʻa iʻa he aloha i nā algae, hiki iā ia ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka aquarium holoʻokoʻa i ka manawa pōkole me ka ʻole e hōʻino i kahi mea kanu hoʻokahi. Nui ka poʻe aquarist i loaʻa i kēia ʻano iʻa iʻa no ka hakakā ʻana i nā limu liʻiliʻi, ʻaʻole kānalua i ke ʻano o ka iʻa nui a lākou i kūʻai ai, no ka mea, ua hōʻike ʻia ka iʻa i ka ʻoihana kūʻai e like me ka pala. I ka wā e hiki mai ana, i kona ulu ʻana, hiki ke piha i loko o kahi aquarium liʻiliʻi.
Mālama a mālama
ʻAʻole koʻikoʻi ka ʻano kemika o ka wai no ka iʻa iʻa e like me kona ʻano. ʻO ka kānana maikaʻi a me nā loli wai maʻamau (10 - 15% i kēlā me kēia pule ʻelua) ʻo ia ke kī i ka mālama maikaʻi ʻana. Pono ka nui o ka iʻa i kahi aquarium ākea me ka nui o ka liʻiliʻi o 380 lita. I ka hoʻolālā ʻana, ʻo ke ʻano o ka lāʻau, kahi i "chews" ai ka iʻa i kēlā me kēia manawa, no laila e loaʻa iā ia nā ʻano mea e pono ai no ka hoʻoheheʻe maikaʻi ʻana, ʻo ia hoʻi, ulu maikaʻi nā kolone algae ma luna ona. ʻO ka lāʻau (driftwood a i ʻole nā aʻa i ulana ʻia) he hale hoʻi ia i nā hola o ke ao. Pono e hāʻawi ʻia ka makemake i nā mea kanu nui ikaika me kahi ʻōnaehana ikaika, ʻo ia wale nō ke kū i ka hoʻouka ʻana o ka iʻa iʻa i ka lepo, ʻo ia hoʻi, hiki i nā mea kanu palupalu ke lilo i meaʻai.
ʻO ka nohona pili kanaka
Hoʻohanohano ʻia ka iʻa leopadi no kona ʻano maluhia a me ka hiki ke hoʻokuʻu i ka aquarium i nā algae. Hiki ke kūpono i nā iʻa ma kahi kokoke i nā kaiāulu, ʻoiai no nā iʻa liʻiliʻi, mahalo i kā lākou meaʻai meaʻai. ʻAʻole i ʻike ʻia ka hana ʻino e pili ana i nā ʻano ʻē aʻe, akā naʻe, aia kahi hakakā intraspecific no ka ʻāina a me ka hoʻokūkū no ka meaʻai, akā no nā iʻa hou wale nō, inā noho pū ka iʻa iʻa, ʻaʻohe pilikia.
Hanau / hānau
Hiki i kahi mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa akamai ke hoʻokaʻawale i ke kāne mai ka wahine, ma waho ua aneane like lākou. I ka wao nahele, lele ka i'a leopadi ma kahakai pali i loko o ka lua lepo hohonu, no laila, 'a'ole makemake e hanau ma ka home aquarium. No ka hana pāʻoihana, hānai ʻia lākou i loko o nā loko iʻa nui e like me ko lākou wahi noho maoli.
ʻO nā maʻi
Paʻa loa ka iʻa a ma lalo o nā kūlana maikaʻi, ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa i ka maʻi, akā inā nāwaliwali ka ʻōnaehana pale, hiki i ke kino ke loaʻa i nā maʻi like me nā iʻa ʻē aʻe. Hiki ke loaʻa ka ʻike hou aku e pili ana i nā maʻi ma ka ʻāpana "Nā maʻi o ka iʻa aquarium".
