Elongatusy sú endemitom jazera . Synonymá: , , , , , . V rámci druhu Pseudotropheus elongatus je ustanovený komplex – druhová skupina, do ktorej okrem pravého P. elongatus patrí ešte ďalších 5 druhov: P. ater, P. cyaneus, P. flavus, P. longior, P. modestus a . sú formou druhu Pseudotropheus elongatus, čo je z hľadiska taxonomického snáď najpestrejší druh, vytvárajúci úctyhodné množstvo foriem, jednou z nich je aj P. . mpanga. Počas imponovania samca samičke sa dosť výrazne samček prefarbí oveľa kontrastnejšiu kombináciu. Vtedy je božský, a keď sa začne predvádzať samičke, tak je to úžasné. Samičky mpangáčov dosahujú veľmi malých rozmerov a samce nie sú na tom tiež práve najlepšie. Mladé samičky držia už vo veľmi mladom veku svoje potomstvo. Iné druhy si mpangáče veľmi nevšímajú. Obe , ale viac samček sa správa pomerne rezervovane, v predných častiach sa takmer neukazuje.

Pseudotropheus elongatus dosahuje približne 9.5 cm v prírode (Wikipedia). Dospelé samce dorastajú do 10–12 cm, samice sú menšie (6–8 cm). Samce vykazujú výrazné farebné počas imponovania – často s tmavomodrou alebo čiernou základňou a žltými alebo oranžovými lemami na plutvách (Konings, 2007). Je uvedený aj pod synonymom (aquariumglaser.de). V prirodzenom prostredí obýva so skalnatým dnom. Preferuje s množstvom skál, jaskýň a úkrytov (seriouslyfish.com). Je známy najmä z oblastí s kamenistým dnom pri pobreží jazera Malawi, lokality ako či / (de.wikipedia.org).

Species of the genus Pseudotropheus: ater, aurora, barlowi, crabro, cyaneus, demasoni, elegans, elongatus, fainzilberi, flavus, fuscoides, fuscus, hajomaylandi, lanisticola, livingstonii, lombardoi, longior, lucerna, macrophthalmus, microstoma, minutus, modestus, novemfasciatus, purpuratus, saulosi, socolofi, tropheops gracilior, tropheops romandi, tropheops tropheops, tursiops, williamsi, zebra.

P. elongatus is endemic to Lake Malawi. Synonyms include: Nanochromis gabonuicus, Parananochromis brevirostris, Paranochromis ornatus, Paranaochromis axelrodi, Pelmatochromis caudifasciatus, Pelmatochromis longirostris. Within Pseudotropheus elongatus, a species complex is established – a group that, besides the true P. elongatus, also contains five additional species: P. ater, P. cyaneus, P. flavus, P. longior, P. modestus, as well as a large number of forms.

“Mpanga fish” are a form of Pseudotropheus elongatus, which is perhaps the most diverse taxonomic species of the group, producing an impressive number of forms, one of them being P. e. mpanga. During male courtship displays, the male becomes highly contrasting in coloration. In this state he is stunning, and when he begins displaying to the female, is remarkable. Females of the mpanga forms remain very small, and males are not much larger. Young females hold their broods even at a very early age. Other species usually pay very little attention to mpanga forms. Both sexes behave rather shyly, especially the males, which rarely show themselves in the front parts of the aquarium.

Registered forms of Pseudotropheus elongatus include: aggressive, aggressive Mumbo, aggressive Nakathenga, bar, bee, Boadzulu, brown, deep water, deep water Mbamba, gold bar, gold bar Kuyu, gold bar Likoma, greenback, Hai, Chailosi, Chewere, Chipoka, Chisumulu, Chitimba, Kirondo, Luhuchi, Mara, Masimbwe, Mbako, Mbamba, Mbenji blue, Mbenji brown, Metangula, Mozambique brown, mpanga, Namalenje, Ndumbi, Ngkuyo, Nkhata blue, Nkhata brown, ornatus, ornatus Chuwa, reef, robust, Ruarwe, slab, spot, spot Tundu rocks, zaiwan, Usisya, yellow tail.

Pseudotropheus elongatus reaches approximately 9.5 cm in the wild (). Adult males grow to 10–12 cm, females to 6–8 cm. Males show intense coloration during courtship, often with a dark blue or black base and yellow or orange lappets on the fins (Konings, 2007). The species is also listed under the synonym Chindongo elongatus (aquariumglaser.de).

In its natural habitat, it inhabits rocky substrates, preferring areas with large amounts of stones, caves, and hiding spaces (seriouslyfish.com). It is known mainly from rocky coastal areas of Lake Malawi, such as Mbamba Bay and Nkhata/Mkata Bay (de.wikipedia.org). Its natural diet consists mainly of , filamentous algae, and small vegetation or microorganisms (fishi-pedia.com). Water parameters: .8–8.5, temperature 24– (-fish.net), hardness 10– (seriouslyfish.com).

The species is territorial and can be aggressive, especially males towards each other. A ratio of one male to three to five females is recommended (aquariacentral.com). It is a maternal mouthbrooder, producing 20–40 fry per spawn (akvarko.cz). Females are capable of reproduction at a very young age (Ribbink et al., 1983).

Arten der Gattung Pseudotropheus: ater, aurora, barlowi, crabro, cyaneus, demasoni, elegans, elongatus, fainzilberi, flavus, fuscoides, fuscus, hajomaylandi, lanisticola, livingstonii, lombardoi, longior, lucerna, macrophthalmus, microstoma, minutus, modestus, novemfasciatus, purpuratus, saulosi, socolofi, tropheops gracilior, tropheops romandi, tropheops tropheops, tursiops, williamsi, zebra.

P. elongatus ist ein des Malawisees. Synonyme: Nanochromis gabonuicus, Parananochromis brevirostris, Paranochromis ornatus, Paranaochromis axelrodi, Pelmatochromis caudifasciatus, Pelmatochromis longirostris. Innerhalb der Art Pseudotropheus elongatus wurde ein Komplex – eine Artengruppe – definiert, zu der neben dem echten P. elongatus fünf weitere Arten gehören: P. ater, P. cyaneus, P. flavus, P. longior, P. modestus sowie zahlreiche Farbformen.

„Mpanga“-Formen sind Varianten von Pseudotropheus elongatus, vermutlich die taxonomisch vielfältigste Art dieser Gruppe, die eine beeindruckende Anzahl von Formen hervorbringt. Eine davon ist P. e. mpanga. Während des Balzverhaltens färbt sich das Männchen deutlich kontrastreicher. In diesem Zustand ist er prachtvoll, und wenn er vor dem Weibchen zu balzen beginnt, ist es beeindruckend. Weibchen der Mpanga-Formen bleiben sehr klein, und auch die Männchen werden nicht besonders groß. Junge Weibchen tragen ihre Brut bereits in sehr jungem Alter. Andere Arten beachten Mpanga-Formen kaum. Beide Geschlechter – vor allem die Männchen – verhalten sich eher scheu und zeigen sich in den vorderen Bereichen des Aquariums kaum.

Registrierte Formen von Pseudotropheus elongatus sind: aggressive, aggressive Mumbo, aggressive Nakathenga, bar, bee, Boadzulu, brown, deep water, deep water Mbamba, gold bar, gold bar Kuyu, gold bar Likoma, greenback, Hai, Chailosi, Chewere, Chipoka, Chisumulu, Chitimba, Kirondo, Luhuchi, Mara, Masimbwe, Mbako, Mbamba, Mbenji blue, Mbenji brown, Metangula, Mozambique brown, mpanga, Namalenje, Ndumbi, Ngkuyo, Nkhata blue, Nkhata brown, ornatus, ornatus Chuwa, reef, robust, Ruarwe, slab, spot, spot Tundu rocks, zaiwan, Usisya, yellow tail.

Pseudotropheus elongatus erreicht in der Natur etwa 9,5 cm (Wikipedia).

Ausgewachsene Männchen werden 10–12 cm groß, Weibchen 6–8 cm. Während der Balz zeigen die Männchen eine intensive Färbung – oft mit dunkelblauer oder schwarzer Grundfarbe und gelben oder orangefarbenen Flossensäumen (Konings, 2007). Die Art wird auch unter dem Synonym Chindongo elongatus geführt (aquariumglaser.de).

In der Natur bewohnt sie felsige Bodenzonen, bevorzugt Gebiete mit vielen Steinen, Höhlen und Verstecken (seriouslyfish.com). Sie ist vor allem von felsigen Küstenbereichen des Malawisees bekannt, z. B. aus Mbamba Bay oder Nkhata/Mkata Bay (de.wikipedia.org). Die natürliche Ernährung besteht überwiegend aus Algen, fädigen Algen und kleiner Vegetation oder Mikroorganismen (fishi-pedia.com). Wasserwerte: pH 7,8–8,5, Temperatur 24–26 °C (aqua-fish.net), Härte 10–20 dGH (seriouslyfish.com).

Die Art zeigt territoriales Verhalten und kann aggressiv sein, vor allem Männchen untereinander. Empfohlen wird ein Verhältnis von einem Männchen zu drei bis fünf Weibchen (aquariacentral.com). Es handelt sich um einen Maulbrüter; die Brutgröße beträgt 20–40 Jungfische (akvarko.cz). Weibchen sind bereits in sehr jungem Alter fortpflanzungsfähig (Ribbink et al., 1983).

Aina za jenasi Pseudotropheus: ater, aurora, barlowi, crabro, cyaneus, demasoni, elegans, elongatus, fainzilberi, flavus, fuscoides, fuscus, hajomaylandi, lanisticola, livingstonii, lombardoi, longior, lucerna, macrophthalmus, microstoma, minutus, modestus, novemfasciatus, purpuratus, saulosi, socolofi, tropheops gracilior, tropheops romandi, tropheops tropheops, tursiops, williamsi, zebra. 

Pseudotropheus elongatus ni spishi endemik ya Ziwa Malawi. Visawe ni: Nanochromis gabonuicus, Parananochromis brevirostris, Paranochromis ornatus, Paranaochromis axelrodi, Pelmatochromis caudifasciatus, Pelmatochromis longirostris.

Ndani ya Pseudotropheus elongatus kuna kikundi cha spishi – ambacho, mbali na P. elongatus halisi, kinajumuisha spishi nyingine tano: P. ater, P. cyaneus, P. flavus, P. longior, P. modestus pamoja na maumbo mengi tofauti.

“Mpanga” ni umbo la Pseudotropheus elongatus, labda spishi yenye utofauti mkubwa zaidi katika jenasi hii, ikizalisha idadi kubwa ya tofauti za kimaumbo. Mojawapo ni P. e. mpanga. Wakati wa maonyesho ya dume kwa jike, dume hubadilika kwa rangi kali sana na zenye utofauti mkali. Katika hali hiyo anaonekana wa kuvutia sana, na wakati anaanza kumvutia jike ni jambo la ajabu. Majike wa mpanga hukua wadogo sana, na madume pia si makubwa. Majike wachanga wanabeba mayai na watoto katika kinywa hata wakiwa na umri mdogo. Spishi nyingine mara nyingi haziliangalii kundi la mpanga. Wote wawili – hasa madume – huonyesha tabia ya aibu na mara chache huonekana mbele ya akvárium.

Ninarekodi maumbo yafuatayo ya Pseudotropheus elongatus: aggressive, aggressive Mumbo, aggressive Nakathenga, bar, bee, Boadzulu, brown, deep water, deep water Mbamba, gold bar, gold bar Kuyu, gold bar Likoma, greenback, Hai, Chailosi, Chewere, Chipoka, Chisumulu, Chitimba, Kirondo, Luhuchi, Mara, Masimbwe, Mbako, Mbamba, Mbenji blue, Mbenji brown, Metangula, Mozambique brown, mpanga, Namalenje, Ndumbi, Ngkuyo, Nkhata blue, Nkhata brown, ornatus, ornatus Chuwa, reef, robust, Ruarwe, slab, spot, spot Tundu rocks, zaiwan, Usisya, yellow tail.

Pseudotropheus elongatus hufikia takribani sentimita 9.5 porini (Wikipedia). Madume watu wazima hufikia sentimita 10–12, majike sentimita 6–8.

Wakati wa maonyesho ya kubembeleza jike, dume hubadilika na kupata rangi kali — mara nyingi msingi mweusi au wa buluu iliyokolea pamoja na mistari ya njano au machungwa kwenye mapezi (Konings, 2007). Spishi hii pia inajulikana kwa jina la Chindongo elongatus (aquariumglaser.de).

Katika mazingira yake ya asili, huishi katika maeneo yenye miamba mingi, mapango na maficho (seriouslyfish.com). Inajulikana hasa kutoka maeneo ya mwambao wa miamba ya Ziwa Malawi kama Mbamba Bay na Nkhata/Mkata Bay (de.wikipedia.org). Lishe yake ya asili hujumuisha: mwani, mwani wenye nyuzi, mimea midogo na vijiumbe (fishi-pedia.com).

Vigezo vya maji: pH 7.8–8.5, joto 24–26 °C (aqua-fish.net), ugumu 10–20 dGH (seriouslyfish.com). Spishi hii huonyesha tabia ya utawala (territorial), na inaweza kuwa ya ukali, hasa madume kwa madume wengine. Inapendekezwa kuweka dume 1 kwa majike 3–5 (aquariacentral.com). Ni mlezi wa watoto kwa kinywa (mouthbrooder); idadi ya watoto ni 20–40 (akvarko.cz). Majike wanaweza kuzaa hata wakiwa na umri mdogo sana (Ribbink et al., 1983).

Malé tmavomodré nezmary Pseudotropheus demasoni

skala
Hits: 10962

sú krásne dorastajúce do 6 cm. Sú veľmi neznášanlivé voči sebe aj bojovné voči iným druhom. Dovoľujú si aj voči desať krát väčším sokom. Často naháňajú mlaď s úmyslom zastrašenia. Je to však nádherná tmavomodrá ryba, ktorá sa ťažšie rozmnožuje. Je vhodné chovať demasonky vo väčšom počte, trebárs 20-50 jedincov. Pohlavie sa určí len veľmi ťažko, viac-menej len podľa správania. Samček obyčajne pláva po celom akváriu a dospelá samička je väčšinu dňa jednom mieste, resp. zdržuje sa len vo svojom úzko vymedzenom rajóne. Demasonky sú veľmi elegantné , ak sú v kondícii tak sú nádhernou časťou nášho . V jazere sa vyskytuje na dvoch lokalitách: Pombo Rocks a (Akvarista.cz). Registrujem tieto : Pombo Rocks, Ndumbi Reef. Samce majú výrazné modré a čierne pruhy na svojom telách. V prírodnom prostredí žijú v skalnatých oblastiach.

Demasonis are beautiful fish that grow up to 6 cm. They are very intolerant towards each other and aggressive towards other species. They dare to challenge fish ten times their size and often chase fry with the intention of intimidation. However, they are stunning dark blue fish that reproduce less easily. is advisable to keep Demasonis in larger groups, for example, 20-50 individuals. Determining their gender is quite challenging, mostly based on behavior. The male usually swims throughout the entire aquarium, while the mature female spends most of the day in one place or stays in her narrowly defined territory. Demasonis are very elegant fish, and when in good condition, they become a beautiful part of our aquarium. In Lake Malawi, they are found in two locations: Pombo Rocks and Ndumbi Reef (). I register these forms: Pombo Rocks, Ndumbi Reef. Males have distinctive blue and black stripes on their bodies. In their natural environment, they live in rocky areas.

Demasonis sind wunderschöne Fische, die bis zu 6 cm groß werden. Sie sind sehr intolerant gegenüber ihren Artgenossen und aggressiv gegenüber anderen Arten. Sie wagen es, sich Fischen anzunehmen, die zehnmal so groß sind wie sie selbst, und jagen oft Nachwuchs, um ihn einzuschüchtern. Dennoch handelt es sich um atemberaubend dunkelblaue Fische, die sich etwas schwerer vermehren. Es ist ratsam, Demasonis in größeren Gruppen zu halten, beispielsweise 20-50 Individuen. Das Geschlecht zu bestimmen ist ziemlich herausfordernd, hauptsächlich basierend auf dem Verhalten. Das Männchen schwimmt normalerweise durch das gesamte Aquarium, während das ausgewachsene Weibchen den größten Teil des Tages an einem Ort verbringt oder sich in ihrem eng definierten Territorium aufhält. Demasonis sind sehr elegante Fische, und wenn sie sich in gutem Zustand befinden, werden sie zu einem wunderschönen Teil unseres Aquariums. Im Malawisee kommen sie an zwei Standorten vor: Pombo Rocks und Ndumbi Reef (Akvarista.cz). Ich registriere diese Formen: Pombo Rocks, Ndumbi Reef. Männchen haben auffällige blaue und schwarze Streifen auf ihren Körpern. In ihrer natürlichen Umgebung leben sie in felsigen Gebieten.

Demasoni ni samaki wazuri wanaokua hadi sentimita 6. Wanakosa uvumilivu kati yao na ni wagomvi kwa spishi nyingine. Wanajitia kushindana na samaki kumi mara ukubwa wao na mara nyingine huwafukuza fry kwa nia ya kuwatisha. Hata hivyo, ni samaki wa rangi ya buluu yenye kuvutia ambao wanazalisha kwa ugumu zaidi. Inashauriwa kuwaweka Demasoni kwa makundi makubwa, kwa mfano, watu 20-50. Kutambua jinsia zao ni jambo lenye changamoto, kwa kiasi kikubwa kulingana na tabia. Kiume kawaida huogelea kote kwenye tangi, wakati wa kike mzima hupitisha sehemu kubwa ya siku mahali pamoja au hukaa katika eneo lake dogo la uhakika. Demasoni ni samaki wa kupendeza sana, na wanapokuwa katika hali nzuri, wanakuwa sehemu nzuri ya bwawa letu la samaki. Ziwa Malawi, wanapatikana kwenye maeneo mawili: Pombo Rocks na Ndumbi Reef (Akvarista.cz). Ninasajili haya: Pombo Rocks, Ndumbi Reef. Wanaume wana mistari ya buluu na nyeusi kwenye miili yao. Katika mazingira yao asilia, wanakaa maeneo ya miamba.
