Hits: 9836

Mala­wij­ský druh. Syno­ny­má: Cyr­to­ca­ra bor­le­yi, Hap­loc­hro­mis bor­le­yi. Pat­ria medzi Uta­ka dru­hy. Žijú vo voľ­nej vode vo veľ­kých sku­pi­nách, blíz­ko skal­ných stien, pies­či­té­ho dna, v malých až stred­ných hĺb­kach (520 m) (akva​ris​ta​.cz). V rôz­nych oblas­tiach jaze­ra: Che­mwe­zi Rocks, Chi­mwa­la­ni Reef, Mara Point, Pombo Rocks, Kadan­go, Chi­lu­cha, Chi­ny­amwe­zi, Chi­ny­ank­wa­zi, Cro­co­di­le Rocks, Fort Magu­ire, Kan­de Island, Lin­gan­ja­la Reef, Lun­du, Mai­son Reef, Makon­de, Mara Rocks, Mben­ji Island, Mdo­ka, Mpan­ga, Mpan­di­ku­cha, Msi­sis, Mum­bo Island, Nama­len­je, Nkhun­gu Reef, Otter Island, Tai­wan Reef, Tum­bi Point, Undu Point, Zim­ba­we Rocks (cich​li​dens​tu​be​.de). Cel­kom ochot­ne sa krí­ži s Copa­dic­hro­mis azu­re­us (akva​ris​ta​.cz)

Tie, kto­ré som cho­val ja, sa sprá­va­li pomer­ne kolek­tív­ne. Po dvoch mesia­coch od zado­vá­že­nia sa zača­li sprá­vať voči sebe agre­sív­nej­šie. Kúpil som mla­dé ryby, odha­du­jem 8 až 12 mesač­né. Sam­ci sa zača­li vyfar­bo­vať. Vede­li sa priam nesku­toč­ne nažrať naj­mä živých cyk­lo­pov, daf­nií a podob­nej potra­vy. Samec je fareb­nej­ší. Obe pohla­via môžu v našej opa­te­re pre­rásť 15 cm. Vo svo­jom ape­tí­te sú podob­né dru­hu Nim­boc­hro­mis venus­tus. Nie sú tak roz­um­né pri kon­zu­má­cii ako Pse­udot­rop­he­usy a už vôbec nie ako Mela­noc­hro­mi­sy. Napchá­va­jú sa ove­ľa viac a do prask­nu­tia, iným dru­hom sa potom toľ­ko nedos­ta­né. Raz som bol sved­kom ako domi­nant­ný samec bol tak tuč­ný, že mal dýcha­cie prob­lé­my. Mož­no mal prob­lé­my aj s rov­no­vá­hou – inten­zív­ne sa sna­žil plá­vať. O jed­né­ho jedin­ca som pri­šiel dosť kuri­óz­nym spô­so­bom. Pri pri­jí­ma­ní potra­vy sa ako vždy nekom­pro­mis­ne pcha­li bor­le­já­ky ku stra­ve. Len­že Cyp­ho­ti­la­pia gib­be­ro­sa bola tiež hlad­ná a hlav­ne sil­nej­šia. Jej ústa sú naozaj gran­di­óz­ne a keď­že ned­ba­la na násled­ky, milej samič­ke Copa­dic­hro­mis nača­la tvár. Na jed­nej stra­ne jej ostal vidi­teľ­ný šrám, na dru­hej ešte väč­ší a odnies­lo si to aj oko, kto­ré drža­lo len na zopár mili­met­roch. Bod­ku súbo­ja o potra­vu dokon­čil Pse­udot­rop­he­us soco­lo­fi albin, kto­rý pri­plá­val k pos­ti­hnu­tej, otvo­ril papu­ľu, namie­ril a sil­ným trhom oko s pôžit­kom spa­pal. Ako­by nič iné nebo­lo nápl­ňou jeho exis­ten­cie, len čakať na takú­to prí­le­ži­tosť. Po tom­to neha­neb­nom akte okam­ži­te ale pokoj­ne ufu­jaz­dil preč. Bor­le­jáč­ka zosta­la bez oka. Bol som zve­da­vý ako bude rea­go­vať na nepria­zeň osu­du a môj inštinkt ma nekla­mal. Ryba bola dez­orien­to­va­ná, ale nepre­ja­vo­va­la najprv žiad­ne jas­né znám­ky boles­ti, ale­bo letar­gie. Nepri­jí­ma­la síce potra­vu, cha­otic­ky ale stá­le ele­gan­tne plá­va­la v celom akvá­riu, vyhý­ba­la sa iba mies­tam, kde sa sústre­ďo­va­la potra­va. Ani tri hodi­ny od inci­den­tu som nepo­zo­ro­val na nej žiad­ne prí­zna­ky scho­vá­va­nia si, nezdra­vos­ti, blí­žia­ce­ho sa záni­ku. Nasle­do­va­la však noc, a ako som pred­po­kla­dal, ráno bolo po nej. Copa­dic­hro­mis bor­le­yi kadan­go red fin, je for­ma dru­hu Copa­dic­hro­mis bor­le­yi. Red fin zna­me­ná čer­ve­né plut­vy. Oni sú skôr oran­žo­vé ale­bo žlté. Cel­kom regis­tru­jem tie­to for­my: Cobue, Gold Fin, Kadan­go, Kadan­go Red Fin, Kiron­do, Nama­len­ji, Che­mwe­zi Rocks, Chi­mwa­la­ni Reef, Mara Point, Pombo Rocks, Chi­lu­cha, Chi­ny­amwe­zi, Chi­ny­ank­wa­zi, Cro­co­di­le Rocks, Fort Magu­ire, Kan­de Island, Lin­gan­ja­la Reef, Lun­du, Mai­son Reef, Makon­de, Mara Rocks, Mben­ji Island, Mdo­ka, Mpan­ga, Mpan­di­ku­cha, Msi­sis, Mum­bo Island, Nama­len­je, Nkhun­gu Reef, Otter Island, Tai­wan Reef, Tum­bi Point, Undu Point, Zim­ba­we Rocks, Nte­ke­te, Yel­low Fin.


A Mala­wi spe­cies. Syno­nyms: Cyr­to­ca­ra bor­le­yi, Hap­loc­hro­mis bor­le­yi. Belo­ngs to the Uta­ka spe­cies. They live in open water in lar­ge groups, near roc­ky walls, san­dy bot­toms, at small to medium depths (520 m) (akva​ris​ta​.cz). In vari­ous are­as of the lake: Che­mwe­zi Rocks, Chi­mwa­la­ni Reef, Mara Point, Pombo Rocks, Kadan­go, Chi­lu­cha, Chi­ny­amwe­zi, Chi­ny­ank­wa­zi, Cro­co­di­le Rocks, Fort Magu­ire, Kan­de Island, Lin­gan­ja­la Reef, Lun­du, Mai­son Reef, Makon­de, Mara Rocks, Mben­ji Island, Mdo­ka, Mpan­ga, Mpan­di­ku­cha, Msi­sis, Mum­bo Island, Nama­len­je, Nkhun­gu Reef, Otter Island, Tai­wan Reef, Tum­bi Point, Undu Point, Zim­bab­we Rocks (cich​li​dens​tu​be​.de). They rea­di­ly crossb­re­ed with Copa­dic­hro­mis azu­re­us (akva​ris​ta​.cz).

Tho­se that I kept beha­ved rela­ti­ve­ly col­lec­ti­ve­ly. After two months from acqu­isi­ti­on, they began to beha­ve more agg­res­si­ve­ly towards each other. I bought young fish, esti­ma­ted to be 8 to 12 months old. The males began to color. They could gor­ge them­sel­ves inc­re­dib­ly on live cyc­lops, daph­nia, and simi­lar food. The male is more color­ful. Both gen­ders can grow up to 15 cm in our care. In the­ir appe­ti­te, they are simi­lar to Nim­boc­hro­mis venus­tus. They are not as rea­so­nab­le in con­sump­ti­on as Pse­udot­rop­he­us and cer­tain­ly not as Mela­noc­hro­mis. They stuff them­sel­ves much more and to burs­ting, then other spe­cies do not get so much. Once I wit­nes­sed how a domi­nant male was so fat that he had bre­at­hing prob­lems. Per­haps he also had balan­ce prob­lems – he was inten­se­ly try­ing to swim. I lost one indi­vi­du­al in a quite curi­ous way. Whi­le fee­ding, as alwa­ys, the bor­le­yi would uncom­pro­mi­sin­gly push the­ir way to the food. But Cyp­ho­ti­la­pia gib­be­ro­sa was also hun­gry and, abo­ve all, stron­ger. Its mouth is tru­ly gran­di­ose and sin­ce it did not care about the con­se­qu­en­ces, it punc­tu­red the face of the gen­tle fema­le Copa­dic­hro­mis. On one side, she was left with a visib­le scar, on the other an even lar­ger one, and she also lost an eye, which was held only by a few mil­li­me­ters. The punc­tu­ati­on of the fight for food was com­ple­ted by Pse­udot­rop­he­us soco­lo­fi albi­no, who swam to the affec­ted fish, ope­ned his papil­la, aimed, and with a strong tug, devou­red the eye with ple­a­su­re. As if not­hing else was the pur­po­se of his exis­ten­ce, just to wait for such an oppor­tu­ni­ty. After this sha­me­less act, he imme­dia­te­ly but calm­ly swam away. The bor­le­yi was left wit­hout an eye. I was curi­ous how she would react to the fate­’s dis­fa­vor, and my ins­tinct did not dece­i­ve me. The fish was diso­rien­ted, but ini­tial­ly sho­wed no cle­ar signs of pain or let­har­gy. Alt­hough she did not accept food, she swam ele­gan­tly but cha­oti­cal­ly throug­hout the aqu­arium, avo­iding only pla­ces whe­re food was con­cen­tra­ted. Even three hours after the inci­dent, I did not obser­ve any signs of hiding, unhe­alt­hi­ness, or impen­ding demi­se. Howe­ver, the night fol­lo­wed, and as I expec­ted, it was over for her in the mor­ning. Copa­dic­hro­mis bor­le­yi kadan­go red fin is a form of the spe­cies Copa­dic­hro­mis bor­le­yi. Red fin means red fins. They are more oran­ge or yel­low. I regis­ter the­se forms: Cobue, Gold Fin, Kadan­go, Kadan­go Red Fin, Kiron­do, Nama­len­ji, Che­mwe­zi Rocks, Chi­mwa­la­ni Reef, Mara Point, Pombo Rocks, Chi­lu­cha, Chi­ny­amwe­zi, Chi­ny­ank­wa­zi, Cro­co­di­le Rocks, Fort Magu­ire, Kan­de Island, Lin­gan­ja­la Reef, Lun­du, Mai­son Reef, Makon­de, Mara Rocks, Mben­ji Island, Mdo­ka, Mpan­ga, Mpan­di­ku­cha, Msi­sis, Mum­bo Island, Nama­len­je, Nkhun­gu Reef, Otter Island, Tai­wan Reef, Tum­bi Point, Undu Point, Zim­bab­we Rocks, Nte­ke­te, Yel­low Fin.


Eine Mala­wis­pe­zies. Syno­ny­me: Cyr­to­ca­ra bor­le­yi, Hap­loc­hro­mis bor­le­yi. Gehört zu den Utaka-​Arten. Sie leben in fre­iem Was­ser in gro­ßen Grup­pen, in der Nähe von Fel­swän­den, san­di­gen Böden, in kle­i­nen bis mitt­le­ren Tie­fen (520 m) (akva​ris​ta​.cz). In vers­chie­de­nen Gebie­ten des Sees: Che­mwe­zi Rocks, Chi­mwa­la­ni Reef, Mara Point, Pombo Rocks, Kadan­go, Chi­lu­cha, Chi­ny­amwe­zi, Chi­ny­ank­wa­zi, Cro­co­di­le Rocks, Fort Magu­ire, Kan­de Island, Lin­gan­ja­la Reef, Lun­du, Mai­son Reef, Makon­de, Mara Rocks, Mben­ji Island, Mdo­ka, Mpan­ga, Mpan­di­ku­cha, Msi­sis, Mum­bo Island, Nama­len­je, Nkhun­gu Reef, Otter Island, Tai­wan Reef, Tum­bi Point, Undu Point, Zim­bab­we Rocks (cich​li​dens​tu​be​.de). Sie kre­uzen sich leicht mit Copa­dic­hro­mis azu­re­us (akva​ris​ta​.cz).

Die­je­ni­gen, die ich gehal­ten habe, haben sich rela­tiv kol­lek­tiv ver­hal­ten. Nach zwei Mona­ten seit dem Kauf began­nen sie, sich agg­res­si­ver gege­ne­i­nan­der zu ver­hal­ten. Ich kauf­te jun­ge Fis­che, die auf 8 bis 12 Mona­te ges­chätzt wur­den. Die Männ­chen began­nen zu fär­ben. Sie konn­ten sich unglaub­lich an leben­den Cyc­lops, Daph­nien und ähn­li­chem Fut­ter satt essen. Das Männ­chen ist far­ben­fro­her. Bei­de Gesch­lech­ter kön­nen in unse­rer Obhut bis zu 15 cm groß wer­den. In ihrem Appe­tit ähneln sie Nim­boc­hro­mis venus­tus. Sie sind beim Ver­zehr nicht so ver­nünf­tig wie Pse­udot­rop­he­us und schon gar nicht wie Mela­noc­hro­mis. Sie stop­fen sich viel mehr und plat­zen dann, ande­re Arten bekom­men nicht so viel. Ein­mal erleb­te ich, wie ein domi­nan­tes Männ­chen so fett war, dass es Atem­prob­le­me hat­te. Viel­le­icht hat­te es auch Balan­cep­rob­le­me – es ver­such­te inten­siv zu sch­wim­men. Ich ver­lor eine Per­son auf recht kuri­ose Wei­se. Beim Füt­tern wür­den sich die Bor­le­yi wie immer kom­pro­miss­los zum Fut­ter drän­gen. Aber Cyp­ho­ti­la­pia gib­be­ro­sa war auch hun­grig und vor allem stär­ker. Sein Mund ist wirk­lich gro­ßar­tig und da es kei­ne Kon­se­qu­en­zen inte­res­sier­ten, durch­bo­hr­te es das Gesicht des sanf­ten weib­li­chen Copa­dic­hro­mis. Auf der einen Sei­te blieb sie mit einer sicht­ba­ren Nar­be zurück, auf der ande­ren Sei­te eine noch größe­re, und sie ver­lor auch ein Auge, das nur noch weni­ge Mil­li­me­ter hielt. Die Inter­punk­ti­on des Kamp­fes um Fut­ter wur­de von Pse­udot­rop­he­us soco­lo­fi albi­no abgesch­los­sen, der zum bet­rof­fe­nen Fisch sch­wamm, sei­ne Papil­le öff­ne­te, ziel­te und mit einem kräf­ti­gen Ruck das Auge mit Verg­nügen versch­lang. Als ob nichts ande­res der Sinn sei­ner Exis­tenz wäre, als auf eine sol­che Gele­gen­he­it zu war­ten. Nach die­ser scham­lo­sen Tat sch­wamm er sofort, aber ruhig weg. Die Bor­le­yi blieb ohne Auge zurück. Ich war ges­pannt, wie sie auf das Unglück des Schick­sals rea­gie­ren wür­de, und mein Ins­tinkt täusch­te mich nicht. Der Fisch war deso­rien­tiert, aber zeig­te zunächst kei­ne kla­ren Anze­i­chen von Sch­merz oder Let­har­gie. Obwohl sie kein Fut­ter annahm, sch­wamm sie ele­gant, aber cha­otisch durch das gan­ze Aqu­arium, ver­mied nur die Stel­len, an denen das Fut­ter kon­zen­triert war. Selbst drei Stun­den nach dem Vor­fall beobach­te­te ich kei­ne Anze­i­chen von Vers­tec­ken, Unwohl­se­in oder bevors­te­hen­dem Ver­ge­hen. Die Nacht folg­te jedoch, und wie ich erwar­tet hat­te, war es am Mor­gen vor­bei. Copa­dic­hro­mis bor­le­yi kadan­go red fin ist eine Form der Art Copa­dic­hro­mis bor­le­yi. Red fin bede­utet rote Flos­sen. Sie sind eher oran­ge oder gelb. Ich regis­trie­re die­se For­men: Cobue, Gold Fin, Kadan­go, Kadan­go Red Fin, Kiron­do, Nama­len­ji, Che­mwe­zi Rocks, Chi­mwa­la­ni Reef, Mara Point, Pombo Rocks, Chi­lu­cha, Chi­ny­amwe­zi, Chi­ny­ank­wa­zi, Cro­co­di­le Rocks, Fort Magu­ire, Kan­de Island, Lin­gan­ja­la Reef, Lun­du, Mai­son Reef, Makon­de, Mara Rocks, Mben­ji Island, Mdo­ka, Mpan­ga, Mpan­di­ku­cha, Msi­sis, Mum­bo Island, Nama­len­je, Nkhun­gu Reef, Otter Island, Tai­wan Reef, Tum­bi Point, Undu Point, Zim­bab­we Rocks, Nte­ke­te, Yel­low Fin.


Spis­hi ya Mala­wi. Visa­we: Cyr­to­ca­ra bor­le­yi, Hap­loc­hro­mis bor­le­yi. Ina­an­gu­kia kati ya spis­hi za Uta­ka. Wanais­hi kati­ka maji wazi kwa makun­di makub­wa, kari­bu na kuta za miam­ba, chi­ni ya mchan­ga, kwa kina kido­go hadi cha was­ta­ni (520 m) (akva​ris​ta​.cz). Kati­ka mae­neo mba­lim­ba­li ya ziwa: Che­mwe­zi Rocks, Chi­mwa­la­ni Reef, Mara Point, Pombo Rocks, Kadan­go, Chi­lu­cha, Chi­ny­amwe­zi, Chi­ny­ank­wa­zi, Cro­co­di­le Rocks, Fort Magu­ire, Kan­de Island, Lin­gan­ja­la Reef, Lun­du, Mai­son Reef, Makon­de, Mara Rocks, Mben­ji Island, Mdo­ka, Mpan­ga, Mpan­di­ku­cha, Msi­sis, Mum­bo Island, Nama­len­je, Nkhun­gu Reef, Otter Island, Tai­wan Reef, Tum­bi Point, Undu Point, Zim­bab­we Rocks (cich​li​dens​tu​be​.de). Wana­ku­ba­li kwa ura­hi­si kuza­a­na na Copa­dic­hro­mis azu­re­us (akva​ris​ta​.cz).

Wali­ohu­du­mia wali­one­ka­na kuwa na tabia ya pamo­ja. Baa­da ya mie­zi miwi­li tan­gu kupa­ti­ka­na kwao, walian­za kuony­es­ha tabia ya kus­ham­bu­lia­na zai­di. Nili­nu­nua sama­ki wachan­ga, nad­ha­ni wali­ku­wa na umri wa kati ya mie­zi 8 hadi 12. Wanau­me wali­ku­wa wakian­za kuchu­kua ran­gi. Wali­one­ka­na kula kwa shau­ku hasa Cyc­lops hai, daph­nia, na cha­ku­la kin­gi­ne kama hicho. Mwa­nau­me ali­ku­wa na ran­gi zai­di. Wote, jin­sia zote, wana­we­za kukua hadi 15 cm chi­ni ya uan­ga­li­zi wetu. Kati­ka hamu yao, wali­one­ka­na kufa­na­na na aina ya Nim­boc­hro­mis venus­tus. Hawa­ku­wa na busa­ra kama Pse­udot­rop­he­us na hata Mela­noc­hro­mis kati­ka kula. Wali­ja­za cha­ku­la zai­di na hata kuji­li­pua, hivyo spis­hi nyin­gi­ne hazi­ku­wa na nafa­si ya kupa­ta cha­ku­la. Siku moja nilis­hu­hu­dia jin­si mwa­nau­me ali­y­eku­wa na ngu­vu ali­vy­o­ku­wa mne­ne sana hivi kwam­ba ali­ku­wa na mata­ti­zo ya kupu­mua. Lab­da ali­ku­wa na mata­ti­zo hata na usa­wa – ali­ja­ri­bu sana kuoge­lea. Nilim­po­te­za mtu mmo­ja kwa njia ya kipe­kee. Waka­ti wa kula, wali­one­ka­na kama kawai­da waki­ji­ta­hi­di kwa bidii kupa­ta cha­ku­la. Laki­ni Cyp­ho­ti­la­pia gib­be­ro­sa pia ali­ku­wa na njaa, na hasa ali­ku­wa mwe­nye ngu­vu zai­di. Kiny­wa cha­ke kili­ku­wa kikub­wa sana na kwa saba­bu haku­ja­li mato­keo, alim­gon­ga kwa ngu­vu sama­ki wa kike mpo­le Copa­dic­hro­mis uso­ni. Ali­ba­kia na jera­ha kub­wa upan­de mmo­ja, na hata kub­wa zai­di upan­de mwin­gi­ne, na hata ali­po­te­za jicho, amba­lo lilis­hi­ki­li­wa kwa mili­mi­ta cha­che tu. Pse­udot­rop­he­us soco­lo­fi albin ali­ma­li­za mzo­zo wa cha­ku­la kwa kufi­ka kwa mwa­nam­ke ali­y­eat­hi­ri­wa, kufun­gua kiny­wa cha­ke, kue­le­ke­za, na kwa ngu­vu kupi­tia jicho kwa fura­ha. Kana kwam­ba haku­na cho­cho­te kin­gi­ne kili­ku­wa kazi yake, ila kusu­bi­ri fur­sa kama hiyo. Baa­da ya kiten­do hiki cha kuai­bis­ha, mara moja laki­ni kwa utu­li­vu ali­ogo­pa mba­li. Bor­le­yi ali­ba­kia bila jicho. Nili­ku­wa na hamu ya kuona jin­si ata­ka­vy­o­ji­bu kwa baha­ti mba­ya, na hisia zan­gu hazi­ku­wa na mako­sa. Sama­ki huyo ali­ku­wa hana uele­keo, laki­ni mwan­zo­ni haku­toa isha­ra yoy­o­te wazi ya mau­mi­vu au ule­ge­vu. Inga­wa haku­ku­ba­li cha­ku­la, ali­swim kwa usta­di laki­ni kwa fujo kote kwe­nye bwa­wa la maji, akie­pu­ka tu mae­neo amba­po cha­ku­la kili­ku­wa kina­zin­ga­tia. Hata baa­da ya masaa mata­tu tan­gu tukio hilo, siku­mu­ona aki­ji­fi­cha, aki­wa mgonj­wa, au aki­ka­ri­bia kufa. Laki­ni usi­ku uka­fu­ata, na kama nili­vy­o­ta­ra­jia, asu­bu­hi ali­ku­wa amek­wis­ha. Copa­dic­hro­mis bor­le­yi kadan­go red fin ni aina ya spis­hi Copa­dic­hro­mis bor­le­yi. Red fin ina­ma­a­nis­ha aina za mape­zi nyekun­du. Wana­one­ka­na kuwa ran­gi ya machun­gwa au man­ja­no. Nina­re­ko­di aina hizi: Cobue, Gold Fin, Kadan­go, Kadan­go Red Fin, Kiron­do, Nama­len­ji, Che­mwe­zi Rocks, Chi­mwa­la­ni Reef, Mara Point, Pombo Rocks, Chi­lu­cha, Chi­ny­amwe­zi, Chi­ny­ank­wa­zi, Cro­co­di­le Rocks, Fort Magu­ire, Kan­de Island, Lin­gan­ja­la Reef, Lun­du, Mai­son Reef, Makon­de, Mara Rocks, Mben­ji Island, Mdo­ka, Mpan­ga, Mpan­di­ku­cha, Msi­sis, Mum­bo Island, Nama­len­je, Nkhun­gu Reef, Otter Island, Tai­wan Reef, Tum­bi Point, Undu Point, Zim­ba­we Rocks, Nte­ke­te, Yel­low Fin.
