Unfortunately the this species does not get as  much publicity as its red colored cousin. I suspect that since there are  other shrimp with similar black and white coloration, it is not  considered unique in its own right. Uncommon colors is really what gain  popularity in the shrimp hobby.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The Bee Shrimp is directly related to the &lt;a href="http://www.planetinverts.com/Crystal%20Red%20Shrimp.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crystal Red Shrimp&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.  In fact the Crystal Red Shrimp is the red color mutation of the Bee  Shrimp and is why it is sometimes called the Red Bee Shrimp. A Japanese  breeder,  Mr. Hisayasu Suzuki,  discovered a Bee Shrimp with red stripes  instead of black stripes. Of course the rest is history as far as the  red variation is concerned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Water Parameters&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The Bee Shrimp prefers soft acidic water. Clean water is also a must  as with all shrimp in the hobby. However, like the Crystal Red Shrimp,  the Bee Shrimp may also be the most vulnerable shrimp when housed in  dirty water. Water changes are a must for this species. Temperature  should be lower than 80F and the pH should range from 6.2 to 6.8, gH  should be between 4-6 and kH should be between 1-2. It is very important  that the Bee Shrimp be housed in specific conditions. Extremes in  either water parameters mentioned should be avoided. It cannot be  stressed enough how delicate this shrimp is. As you approach higher  grades of this species, water parameters become even more important.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Breeding&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Breeding the Bee Shrimp is virtually identical to the  breeding of the Crystal Red Shrimp. If you are attempting to breed along  grading status then it is highly recommended that you read the species  info page for the &lt;a href="http://www.planetinverts.com/Crystal%20Red%20Shrimp.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crystal Red Shrimp&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; as well as read the &lt;a href="http://www.planetinverts.com/crystal%20red%20shrimp%20grading%20guide.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crystal Red Shrimp Grading Guide&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  page. Breeding is not as difficult as some may think. However, this is  definitely not a beginner shrimp. You must have experience keeping  shrimp before attempting to keep and breed the Bee Shrimp. Water  parameters and feeding are extremely important when it comes to this  class of shrimp. Overbreeding to achieve high grades also causes  susceptibility to diseases as well causing the shrimp to have a fragile  nature.  For more information on the reproduction cycle of freshwater  aquarium shrimp please read the article &lt;a href="http://www.planetinverts.com/shrimp_reproduction.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shrimp Reproduction&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Genetic Diversity&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Due to the overbreeding of the Crystal Red Shrimp  causing poor genetics and making it more fragile, the Bee Shrimp has  become a pseudo "genetic updater" of sorts. There are actually very high  grades of the Bee Shrimp that can be crossed with high grade Crystal  Red Shrimp. These high grade Bee Shrimp allow the genetics to be  somewhat more variable and at the same time not lose high grade status  for the Crystal Red Shrimp. Hopefully this tactic truly helps both color  variations sustain better immune systems and other vulnerabilities that  occur with overbreeding. It is common knowledge that the higher the  grade of Bee or Crystal Red Shrimp the higher the chance of desease or  mortality. Extra care is taken with these shrimp especially when they  are expensive grades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Grading&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Grading with this species is exactly the same as the grading with the red variation. Please see the &lt;a href="http://www.planetinverts.com/crystal%20red%20shrimp%20grading%20guide.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crystal Red Grading Guide&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  for information on grading the Bee Shrimp as well. All standards apply  with this species as far as the grading is concerned. Acquiring a high  grade Bee Shrimp is not such a bad idea to increase the grade of the  Crystal Red Shrimp. It can potentially save you a lot of money instead  of purchasing a high grade Crystal Red Shrimp. Some grades can cost  upwards of $1200 for a single shrimp and even more has been reported. It  may seem insane but it is the truth. There are true hobbyists out there  that want the rarist grades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Acquisition&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The price of the Bee Shrimp is lower than its red  cousin, simply due to its lower level popularity. This is still a cool  looking shrimp though. I suspect that one day this species will make a  resurgence and become more popular as the Crystal Red Shrimp phase wears  off. One cool thing could perhaps be a black and red Bee Shrimp, a  totally new color varition. Maybe one day that will occur just as the  red variation randomly occured in 1996.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" style="color: white; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;(by planetinverts) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-498632840531681231?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/498632840531681231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/498632840531681231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2012/01/camarao-abelha.html' title='Camarão Abelha'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-1851706089543080185</id><published>2012-01-09T13:02:00.001Z</published><updated>2012-01-09T13:02:02.009Z</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Novos artigos para venda!

Esta espécie foi criada selectivamente do normal "Camarão Tigre", aumentando as suas listas pretas e com as várias gerações, as listas começaram a cobrir todo o corpo. Este método tem algumas consequências negativas, como: o empobrecimento da genética dos mesmos e aumento consequentemente da sua vulnerabilidade a doenças e a más condições da água.&lt;br /&gt;Porém este tornou-se um camarão muito popular. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Origem&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;O "Camarão Tigre Preto" foi criado selectivamente como dito anteriormente.&lt;br /&gt;Existem dois tipos diferentes de camarões, um com os olhos pretos e outro com os olhos laranjas que atingem um preço unitário mais elevado que os seus primos de olhos pretos.&lt;br /&gt;No Japão esta espécie é normalmente chamada de "Camarão Diamante Negro".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Parâmetros da Água &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The Black Tiger Shrimp prefers colder more alkaline  water. Breeders typically keep the Black Tiger Shrimp at a pH above 7.2  and temperature in the 70F - 74F range. It is reported that this species  does not do well in the same water parameters as required by the  Crystal Red Shrimp. Clean water of course is a must as with all hobby  shrimp. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Manutenção&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Este camarão é considerado como sendo muito difícil de manter e de reproduzir.&lt;br /&gt;Criadores experientes conseguiram criar um número suficiente para colocá-lo no mercado. A sua raridade leva a um elevado preço dependendo da gradação da cor e a cor dos olhos.&lt;br /&gt;Para mantê-los é necessário ter em conta as condições rigorosas da água que estes necessitam. É uma espécie frágil devido á sua pobre genética. Este camarão é aconselhado apenas para aquariofilistas experientes.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reprodução:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reproduzir este camarão é difícil num estado juvenil. Quando as fêmeas atingem o estado adulto são fáceis de identificar como eles são maiores e também tem um baixo-ventre curvo. A barriga de uma fêmea é praticamente impossível ver devido para a coloração preta sólida. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Classificação:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Existem várias classificações&amp;nbsp; com base na solidez de coloração preta, bem como a cor dos olhos. A coloração preta menos sólida quanto menor o grau; a coloração preta mais sólida quanto maior o grau. Olhos laranja têm preferência sobre olhos negros e considerem um preço mais elevado. Exatamente como os olhos laranja foram introduzidos no Camarão Tigre preto é desconhecido no entanto ele pode ter ocorrido por uma laranja eyed Tiger camarão (não-azul) com um Camarão Tigre preto de reprodução.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Feeding:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Black Tiger Shrimp is not too  different from other algae eating  shrimps. It is a scavenger and an  algae eater. Feeding is best done  once a day. Only feed an amount of food that the shrimp can finish  within 2-3 hours maximum. It is not good to feed in excess and have food  sitting for too long. Overfeeding is a known cause of death and can  also cause water quality issues. Remember that shrimp are scavengers in  the wild. They will eat whatever they find and are not used to a  constant food source 24/7. Not feeding for one or two days is fine and  will not harm this species at all. Sometimes I will not feed for a  couple of days in order to let the shrimp cleanse their systems and keep  the water clean at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;(by planetinverts)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-3924757371687369017?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/3924757371687369017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/3924757371687369017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/12/camarao-tigre-preto.html' title='Camarão Tigre -  Preto'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-6793048177527945645</id><published>2011-11-23T13:26:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-11-23T13:26:40.877Z</updated><title type='text'>Musgos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Boas, hoje trago-vos uma enorme lista de musgos que existem à vossa disposição.

They then begin doing research online and are overwhelmed with information and advice on websites and forums. They read that in order to have such a beautiful tank, they have to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on specialized lighting, CO2 injection systems, pH controllers, specialized filters, undergravel cable heating and test kits.&lt;div style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="right" cellspacing="5" style="width: 160px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="color1_box" style="background-color: #f2f6ff; border-bottom-color: rgb(135, 207, 255); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(135, 207, 255); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(135, 207, 255); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(135, 207, 255); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 7px; padding-right: 7px; padding-top: 7px;" valign="top"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Click image to enlarge&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fishchannel.com/images/article-images/low-plant-1-500.jpg" style="color: #c75500;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Java moss grows well in almost any setup" border="0" height="129" src="http://www.fishchannel.com/images/article-images/low-plant-1-200.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Java moss (Vesicularia dubyana) attaches to any surface and grows in low light.

The fact is that aquarists have been successfully keeping planted aquaria in their living rooms since the mid-1850s — nearly a generation before the invention of the light bulb and more than a century before the invention of things like pH controllers and CO2 injectors. Don’t get me wrong — these wonderful inventions can help you set up a beautiful planted tank with challenging aquatic plants — but to just have a beautiful, simple and easy-to-maintain aquarium in the living room, none of them are necessary.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;I speak from personal experience here. I have maintained planted aquaria for more than 35 years. I currently have nearly 75 planted tanks, and only a few of them have CO2 injection. None have any other high-tech gadgets. It is true that I could not maintain plants like Hygrophila balsamica or Bacopa australis in these low-tech tanks, but I don’t need plants like that to enjoy my hobby, either.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;What follows is a list of some of my favorite plants. All of them are easy to keep and grow in a low-tech planted tank. All you need are a good substrate that is made of either a mix of dirt and sand covered by a layer of fine gravel or one of the many commercial planted tank substrates, approximately 1.5 watts per gallon of full-spectrum lighting (a double-bulb fixture will do for most tanks), and either a canister or submersible filter that doesn’t churn up the water surface too much.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="right" cellspacing="5" style="width: 160px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="color1_box" style="background-color: #f2f6ff; border-bottom-color: rgb(135, 207, 255); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(135, 207, 255); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(135, 207, 255); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(135, 207, 255); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 7px; padding-right: 7px; padding-top: 7px;" valign="top"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Click image to enlarge&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fishchannel.com/images/article-images/low-plant-3-500.jpg" style="color: #c75500;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Rhizome should be tied to objects like driftwood, not buried" border="0" height="267" src="http://www.fishchannel.com/images/article-images/low-plant-3-200.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px;" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Make sure not to bury the rhizome when keeping the various types of Anubias.

They are adapted to shade and seasonal fluctuations in water levels, so they are incredibly hardy. I liken them to living plastic plants — they are almost impossible to kill! The various subspecies of A. barteri are the most frequently encountered, and all of them are excellent plants for the low-tech beginner’s tank.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;The secret to success is to not bury the rhizome, the thick, fleshy basal stem from which the leaves grow upward and the roots grow downward. These plants do well attached to driftwood. I often simply wriggle the roots into holes in the driftwood and let the plant grow from there. Old leaves sometimes begin to grow algae on their edges. I cut these leaves off.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="heading3" style="color: #0f578d; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Java Moss&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This versatile moss is hardy and beautiful. It will attach itself to any surface. Many aquarists attach it to their foam or cork backgrounds (not the glass) using staples, pins or string. This forms a living wall along the back of the tank. It will grow in extremely low light, and it provides plenty of hiding places for eggs, young fish and fish on the smaller side. Java moss grows profusely and will need to be trimmed back on occasion.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="heading3" style="color: #0f578d; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Java Fern&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This group of aquatic ferns usually grows along the edges of streams in the wild and is often found growing on rocks along and even under waterfalls. Attach it to driftwood, rocks and other ornaments using black cotton thread loosely wrapped around the rhizome and the item to which it will be attached. There are several varieties: some with long, thin leaves; others with short, wide leaves; and still others with intricate lacy, branching leaves. All are cultivated in a similar manner and will do well with as little as 1 watt of light per gallon. Do not bury their “roots” but rather attach them to something above the substrate, such as rocks or driftwood.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="heading3" style="color: #0f578d; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Sagittaria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These beautiful bright green grasslike plants make excellent foreground, mid-ground or background plants, depending on the species. They grow in rosettes, and each rosette will send off a runner that will produce a young plant. Often these runners form chains, giving rise to one of their common names: pygmy chain sword. They form bright green clumps or thickets that contrast well in color and shape with other plants mentioned in this article.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="heading3" style="color: #0f578d; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Vallisneria&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These darker green grasslike plants are often used along the back or sides of a tank to form thickets to frame the rest of the tank. They also grow by runners, but some larger varieties will grow to the surface and even lay across the surface, shading out other plants. These larger varieties should be avoided in favor of shorter corkscrew or nana (Vallisneria nana) varieties.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;A mix of these easy-to-grow plants will provide beginning aquarists with a beautiful, long-lasting and easy low-light planted tank that will give them pleasure for many years to come. You can enjoy a planted tank without all of the hassles of constant tweaking, measuring, charting and trimming that come along with high-tech planted tanks. If you want a planted tank but don’t want all of the work, give these simple beauties a try.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-6040392836076512325?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/6040392836076512325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/6040392836076512325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/11/plantas-para-tanques-low-cost.html' title='Plantas para Tanques &quot;low cost&quot;'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-2012977073806461687</id><published>2011-10-20T15:06:00.010+01:00</published><updated>2011-11-15T02:59:27.525Z</updated><title type='text'>Camarões "Amano"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;i style="color: white;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;Boas hoje trago-vos um artigo do site (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.planetinverts.com/" style="font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Planet Inverts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;) sobre os camarões "Amano".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vh3ssp-jbKw/TrH944dS_JI/AAAAAAAAAI8/K7IC5XeiT_w/s1600/amano.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vh3ssp-jbKw/TrH944dS_JI/AAAAAAAAAI8/K7IC5XeiT_w/s1600/amano.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Camar&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="color: white; font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;ões Amano&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Nome Cientifico) Caridina multidentata&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Introdução&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;O camarão Amano é muito popular no hobby. É o segundo mais popular depois do camarão Neo-Caridina "Red Cherry". O nome tem origem no bem conhecido aquariófilo Takashi Amano que usa frequentemente estes camarões nos seus aquários como comedores de algas. No entanto a maioria das pessoas desconhece que é uma espécie difícil de reproduzir e que a maior parte é apanhada no ambiente selvagem e vendidos aos aquariófilos.

Infelizmente a maioria que adquire os mesmos não sabe que estes camarões não reproduzem em agua doce e perguntam-se porque as fêmeas mesmo com muitos ovos nunca produzem novas crias. (estes reproduzem apenas em aguas salobras e a determinada temperatura)&lt;/span&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;Deaths&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;It is not uncommon for the Amano Shrimp to die shortly after introduction to the aquarium. Virtually all Amano Shrimp are wild caught and are not used to captive conditions. Also, a lack of feeding can cause death as well. Most first timers keeping these shrimp think that they are solely algae eaters and can live off of the tank and require no food. You must feed this shrimp. Deaths are also caused by stress from shipping, handling, lack of acclimation to new conditions and from being introduced to multiple tank parameters. Remember that the Amano Shrimp is caught in the wild. It goes through a lot of stress during capture and during shipping around the world. Once it reaches the local fish stores it undergoes even more stress. When it ultimately ends up in the hobbyists tank it can be marked for death regardless of what the hobbyist does to keep it alive. Do not be surprised if this shrimp dies on you shortly after introduction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;Breeding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;As stated before the Amano Shrimp requires brackish water in order to breed successfully. The pregnant females carry many eggs, most likely due to the loss rate of the larvae after hatching. The shrimp hatches as a tiny larvae free floating in the water. It is not like other shrimp which hatch as miniature adults. The larvae are very delicate and require special care. Below is a quick run down on information required to breed this species in captivity. It is a difficult task to captive breed the Amano Shrimp. However, if you are up for the challenge then good luck. It is definitely an achievement if you are successful!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;Captive Breeding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;The adults are kept in a 40 gallon 'breeder' tank with a sponge filter and lots of hornwort. The pH is close to neutral and the temperature around 75 degrees F. They eat 'GP Pellets' plus the occasional algae tablet -- there's also a lot of hair algae in the tank, more than they can keep up with. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;Larvae are raised in full-strength (35 ppt) seawater that's pea-green with Tetraselmis algae. No supplemental foods are added. The latest batch was raised in a 2.5-gallon tank -- there was somewhat high mortality, so more space may've been helpful.   I've tried a variety of raising conditions. So far, the best results are with:   24-hour lighting  Gentle aeration  mid-70's Farenheit   In those conditions the larvae began metamorphosing into postlarvae after about 20 days. Higher temperatures seem to slow development. It took just about 6 months for a full life-cycle from hatching to egg production.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;Feeding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"&gt;It is recommended that the Amano Shrimp be fed like any other shrimp in the hobby. Using this species solely for the purpose of algae eating will not suffice in the long term for the shrimps health. These are rather large shrimp and require a good supply of food.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;For anyone that missed purchasing the AGA 2004 Convention DVD, or  missed the convention itself, T. Amano had a couple of interesting  lectures that are well worth buying the DVD for. In viewing the DVD  I made some notes on things that really hit home for me, as found below.  I've tried to separate those comments that I saw as his aquascaping principles,  vs. those things that appeared be techniques he uses. It's kind of random,  but I think it still may have some useful advice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PRINCIPLES&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Plant all groups in odd numbers.&lt;br /&gt;2. Fine leaved plants look best in the mid to back center of a tank,  with heavier leaved plants toward the edges.&lt;br /&gt;3. Don't use red in the middle as they have a heavy, dark, feel.&lt;br /&gt;4. Dark leaves (red or dark green) look best toward back edges,  with light colored leaves toward the center.&lt;br /&gt;5. Arrange plants and hardscape (rocks and wood) to provide good contrast of light and dark areas.&lt;br /&gt;6. Light colored sand provides good contrast to plants.&lt;br /&gt;7. When rocks are used, use multiple sizes, mixing large and small rocks, as in nature.&lt;br /&gt;8. Rock edges should generally be rounded.&lt;br /&gt;10. Hide your intentions with rocks. Allow plants to obscure them to some extent, maybe completely.&lt;br /&gt;11. Aquascapes with unplanted sand in front is a good alternative to the  traditional “Nature Aquarium” style of all foreground covered with foreground plants.&lt;br /&gt;12. An attractive layout alternative is a slope up from near the middle up to the two back corners.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;TECHNIQUE&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Use cotton thread to attach Java moss to wood, or lava (pumice?) rocks.&lt;br /&gt;2. Moss on rocks is great for edge work, blending an open sandy area into a planted area.&lt;br /&gt;3. Use driftwood with moss, or large moss rocks, as something for background to grow over  and cast shadows for good dark/light contrast areas.&lt;br /&gt;4. Wrap Anubias onto moss covered rocks using a plastic ties, and trim off  almost all roots, for “rocked Anubias”.&lt;br /&gt;5. A rocked Anubias can be set right on sand, or moved around as desired.  But initially face it slightly forward to hide roots. Later it will grow upward toward the light.&lt;br /&gt;6. Plan on putting crypts only in places with deep substrate.&lt;br /&gt;7. Use stem plants in even lengths with graduated height sets, descending from  high to low, as the sets move toward the front or middle of the tank.&lt;br /&gt;8. Plant stems 2 or 3 at a time, in the same hole.&lt;br /&gt;9. A new tank should not be trimmed for 3 months.&lt;br /&gt;10. On first trimming, let stem plants grow to the top, and then trim to halfway point.&lt;br /&gt;11. Anubias and moss make great foreground plants as they take no trimming. &lt;br /&gt;12. Putting tubing (and or wires) that come into, or out of, the tank on the  side makes it less visible to straight on viewing due to a “mirror” effect from side reflection.&lt;br /&gt;13. Creating a substrate with separate sand vs. soil areas can be accommodated  by placing cardboard in the tanks where you want the boundaries between the two,  and slowly filling in both sides until full. After adjusting any slope you might  want in the sand or soil, and making sure that both sides are at the same height  where they touch either side of the cardboard, the cardboard can be gently removed.&lt;br /&gt;14. Sloping substrate from front to back works better if something like drift  wood is placed in the middle of the slope to keep substrate moving forward.  Moss rocks also make a nice barrier serving the same purpose.&lt;br /&gt;15. If a substrate of separated soil and sand is used, driftwood and/or  rocks can placed on the line between the two to cover or hide the separation point.&lt;br /&gt;16. Light shining up from the back bottom looks great! And will light any  ripples on the surface from an angle beneath, highlighting them.&lt;br /&gt;17. For a really simple landscapes, use mossed pebbles around big central rocks.&lt;br /&gt;18. A fully mossed group of interwoven driftwood branches looks wonderful when  it fills in. It will look almost solid, and if done correctly can give a sloping  look from lower front to upper back, possibly also sloping low and toward the middle,  and up toward back corners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Article written by Steve (&lt;a class="main target=" href="http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/members/scolley.html"&gt;

Many truly do not know what this translates  to in English.&amp;nbsp; The Japanese word “Iwagumi” literally means “rock  formation.” In a Japanese rock garden, the rocks are the “bones” of the  layout and usually consist of three rocks; one main or large rock  flanked by two smaller rocks, but not of equal size. When the rock  formation is placed properly, the rest of the layout will simply fall  into place.&amp;nbsp; In our hobby this has been taken far beyond three rocks  but, the main principles should still be used.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;MAIS INFO:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aquascapingworld.com/magazine/Magazine/Iwagumi-Style.html"&gt;http://www.aquascapingworld.com/magazine/Magazine/Iwagumi-Style.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-5190256637672175374?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/5190256637672175374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/5190256637672175374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/04/written-by-roy-deki-many-of-you-have.html' title='Iwagumy Style'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-4890360756330996848</id><published>2011-04-06T11:48:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-06T11:48:16.838+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Segredos do Iwagumi (By XYLEMA)</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="color: #fff2cc;"&gt; &lt;u&gt;Segredos do Iwagumi&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title" style="color: #fff2cc;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="color: #fff2cc; text-align: justify;"&gt;O Iwagumi é a técnica mais admirada  dentro do universo Nature Aquarium, se não seu próprio âmago, mas também  e de longe a menos compreendida.

Finding a plant that's a perfect fit for your aquascaping style is all part of the hobby, and the photos you can find on the internet aren't always the most helpful in determining if a plant is right for your aquascape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, this video from &lt;a href="http://Aquascapist.com"&gt;Aquascapist.com&lt;/a&gt; should help a bit. In it, many of the most popular and sought after plants are shown including Elatine triandra, Hygrophila sp. "Pinnatafida," and Staurogyne sp. "Puerto Velho." They're all extremely healthy and gorgeous looking, providing an excellent view of what they should look like in an aquascape. Even better, the video is available in 720p HD.

The foreground is a thriving carpet of Lilaeopsis and the colorful 'Rosernervig' is the focal point of the aquarium. By planting Anubias and Cryptocoryne in the middle of the aquarium will create a contrast of dark green to the bright green carpet and the colorful 'Roservervig'. Java moss attached to wood will create both depth and maturity. The composition of plants provides a fine balance between fast growing plants (they take up nutrient and reduce algae growth) and slow growing plants that require less maintaining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TIP! 'Rosernervig' is an undemanding plant. Nesaea crassicaulis or Rotala rotundifolia are suitable alternatives as easy and coloured plants. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projecto:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.tropica.com/media/6453/stregtegning_klassisk128L_400x209.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 209px;" src="http://www.tropica.com/media/6453/stregtegning_klassisk128L_400x209.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.tropica.com/umbraco/imageGen.aspx?image=/media/6463/layout_klassiker128l.jpg&amp;width=685&amp;constrain=true"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 485px; height: 312px;" src="http://www.tropica.com/umbraco/imageGen.aspx?image=/media/6463/layout_klassiker128l.jpg&amp;width=685&amp;constrain=true" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outro exemplo:&lt;a href="http://www.tropica.com/layouts/some-experience/the-bridge-of-moss-%28225l%29/description.aspx"&gt;http://www.tropica.com/layouts/some-experience/the-bridge-of-moss-%28225l%29/description.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-4160226604069080356?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/4160226604069080356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/4160226604069080356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/03/um-exemplo-de-um-aquario-por-tropica.html' title='Um Exemplo de um Aquário por Tropica'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-7039909157006379633</id><published>2011-03-16T11:50:00.003Z</published><updated>2011-03-16T11:54:34.648Z</updated><title type='text'>Vendo MUSGO DE JAVA</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N0POMYnO7LM/TYCkfE4YfVI/AAAAAAAAAF0/GYjs3wFIU-s/s1600/Javamoss.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 138px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N0POMYnO7LM/TYCkfE4YfVI/AAAAAAAAAF0/GYjs3wFIU-s/s200/Javamoss.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584644391732542802" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boas hoje apresento mais uma oportunidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para comprar clique em: &lt;a href="http://miau.pt/leiloes/leilao.jsp?offer_id=9676699"&gt;http://miau.pt/leiloes/leilao.jsp?offer_id=9676699&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Vendo musgo de Java segue a descrição:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vesicularia dubyana (C. Müller) Broth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nome vulgar: musgo de Java&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Origem: sudeste da Ásia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vesicularia dubyana possui hábitos anfíbios, podendo ser encontrada nas matas tropicais e sombrias da Ásia, onde vegeta sobre troncos caídos, pedras ou diretamente no solo úmido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As folhas, muito pequenas e de colorido verde escuro, desenvolvem-se sobre hastes irregularmente ramificadas, formando um emaranhado disforme. Quando cultivada emersa em paludários e aquaterrários, as folhas tornam-se mais largas e adquirem colorido verde brilhante. Em aquários é utilizada para recobrir troncos e pedras, aos quais adere firmemente. Alastra-se de modo relativamente rápido. Requer água cristalina, temp. entre 20 e 25C e água pouco mineralizada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vesicularia dubyana, é a planta mais utilizada por criadores como local de desova para peixes.

It is native to the upper Orinoco and Negro Rivers in South America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fish is similar in appearance to the closely-related and better-known neon tetra, but it is slightly smaller and its red patch is less pronounced, while the blue-green areas of the upper body are more brilliant. Also, its body is slimmer than that of the neon tetra. It grows to a maximum overall length of approximately 2.5 cm (1 in).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like the other Paracheirodon species, the green neon tetra is kept as an aquarium fish, but it is less commonly seen than either the true neon tetra or the cardinal tetra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P. simulans is also sometimes called the blue or false neon. Hyphessobrycon simulans and Cheirodon simulans are obsolete synonyms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fish loses its brilliant blue and red color when lights are switched off in the dark, however regains it back when lights are switched on again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Water conditions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wild Green Neon Tetra comes from extremely soft, acidic water at a temperature in the mid to high twenties in degrees C (the seventies in degrees F). These are the ideal conditions for this fish. It will adjust to neutral water with some hardness and a temperature of 24 degrees C (75 degrees F) and is fine in a community tank with small peaceful fish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avoid having a filter with excessively strong water intake because this little fish is prone to get sucked in by strong currents, perhaps even more so than the Neon Tetra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Green Neon Tetra is an omnivore and will eat normal fish foods of a suitable size. Small live food such as mosquito larvae and daphnia is good as is frozen blood worms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breeding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Green Neon Tetras need water similar to the waters they live in in the wild; extremely soft water with a pH of about 6 and a temperature of around 77 degrees F (25 degrees C). Ideally the water should be highly stained by the tannins from peat, in subdued light, shaded by plants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Green Neon Tetra spawns in a school although in the actual act of spawning one female may be closely associated with one or more males.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 130 eggs can be laid by each female. The parents should be removed after spawning. The eggs should hatch in 24 hours. The eggs are light sensitive so avoid light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The babies are very small and infusoria (protozoa) is necessary early on. As they grow, this can increasingly be supplemented with fine commercial fry foods. Green Neon Tetras can breed again after a couple of weeks.&lt;br /&gt;(by Wikipedia)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kingdom:  Animalia&lt;br /&gt;Phylum:  Chordata&lt;br /&gt;Class:  Actinopterygii&lt;br /&gt;Order:  Characiformes&lt;br /&gt;Family:  Characidae&lt;br /&gt;Genus:  Paracheirodon&lt;br /&gt;Species:  P. simulans&lt;br /&gt;Binomial name&lt;br /&gt;Paracheirodon simulans&lt;br /&gt;(classification by Géry 1963)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-2848841102340453160?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/2848841102340453160'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/2848841102340453160'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/03/neon-verde.html' title='Neon Verde'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-5900794319351785964</id><published>2011-03-08T22:07:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-03-08T22:12:08.111Z</updated><title type='text'>Tetras</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.petlincs.co.uk/imgs/items/Harlequin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 238px;" src="http://www.petlincs.co.uk/imgs/items/Harlequin.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tetra are species of small freshwater fish from Africa, Central America and South America belonging to the biological family Characidae and to its former subfamilies Alestiidae (the "African tetras") and Lebiasinidae. The Characidae are distinguished from other fish by the presence of a small adipose fin between the dorsal fin and caudal fin. Many of these, such as the neon tetra (Paracheirodon innesi), are brightly colored and easy to keep in captivity. Consequently, they are extremely popular for home aquaria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term tetra is not actually a taxonomic, phylogenetic term. Because of the popularity of tetras in the fishkeeping hobby, many unrelated fish are commonly known as tetras, including species from differing families. Even fish that are vastly different may be called tetras. For example, payara (Hydrolycus scomberoides) is occasionally known as the "sabretooth tetra" or "vampire tetra".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tetras generally have compressed (sometimes deep), fusiform bodies and are typically identifiable by their fins. They ordinarily possess a homocercal caudal fin (a twin-lobbed, or forked, tail fin whose upper and lower lobes are of equal size) and a tall dorsal fin characterized by a short connection to the fish’s body.[2] Additionally, tetras possess a long anal fin stretching from a position just posterior of the dorsal fin and ending on the ventral caudal peduncle, and a small, fleshy adipose fin located dorsally between the dorsal and caudal fin. This adipose fin represents the fourth unpaired fin on the fish (the four unpaired fins include the caudal fin, dorsal fin, anal fin, and adipose fin), lending to the name tetra, which is Greek for four.[2] While this adipose fin is generally considered the distinguishing feature, tetras (such as the emperor tetras, Nematobrycon palmeri) lack this appendage. Ichthyologists debate the function of the adipose fin, doubting its role in swimming due to its small size and lack of stiffening rays or spines.[3]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the list below is sorted by common name, in a number of cases the common name is applied to different species. Since the aquarium trade may use a different name for the same species, advanced aquarists tend to use scientific names for the less-common tetras.

Este fenómeno pode ser facilmente entendido como se a água se dissolvesse nela mesma, embora esta interpretação não seja muito correcta do ponto de vista químico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;H 2O ® H + + OH -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quantidade de água que se encontra dissociada não é aleatória, ela respeita uma condição de equilíbrio. Quando a reacção de dissociação atinge a condição de equilíbrio o produto da concentração de H+ e OH- deve ser igual a 1,0 x 10-14. Em outras palavras em 1 mol de água pura temos 0,0000001 mols (1,0 x 10-7) de H+ e 0,0000001 mols (1,0 x 10-7) de OH-, ou seja, em 1 L de água pura temos 0,0001 L dissociados (1mol é uma quantidade qualquer como gramas que equivale a 6,02 x 1023 moléculas da substância em questão).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Portanto, pH nada mais é que uma medida da concentração de H+ na água. A sigla pH representa o logaritmo da concentração de H+ (mols / L) no equilíbrio, conforme a fórmula abaixo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pH = -log [H + ]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A escala de pH foi construída levando-se em conta a condição de equilíbrio, o valor 7 é dado como neutro pois equivale a condição de equilíbrio da água pura, onde a concentração de H+ é igual a concentração de OH-. Os valores abaixo de 7 indicam que a água é ácida, ou seja, a concentração de H+ no equilíbrio é maior do que a concentração de OH-. Já os valores acima de 7 indicam que a água é básica ou alcalina, ou seja, a concentração de OH- no equilíbrio é maior do que a concentração de H+. Como se trata de uma escala logarítmica pequenas variações no valor do pH podem corresponder a uma grande variação na concentração de H+, por exemplo, o aumento de 1 unidade na escala de pH implica em um aumento de 10 vezes na concentração de H+. É por esse motivo que toda correcção de pH no aquário deve ser feita lentamente no máximo 0,2 unidades por dia para não causar problemas para os habitantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O pH de um aquário pode ser facilmente determinado através de kits adquiridos em lojas do ramo. Esses kits possuem uma escala colorimétrica e um tubo de teste onde se goteja a solução de indicador e por comparação da cor obtida com a da escala colorimétrica determina-se o valor do pH. Geralmente este método apresenta bons resultados porém as limitações encontram-se no indicador (substância responsável pela mudança de cor). Por exemplo, o Azul de Bromotimol que é muito usado em aquários de água doce, apresenta sensibilidade para mudanças de pH entre as regiões de 6,2 (amarelo) - 7,6 (azul). Valores fora dessa região não podem ser determinados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O pH pode ser determinado de maneira muito precisa com o uso de "ph-metro" que possui um eléctrodo combinado de vidro que é muito sensível a concentração de H+. Os pin points, como são chamados estes aparelhos, actualmente são facilmente encontrados nas lojas do ramo mas ainda custam caro e exigem gastos extras referentes à manutenção periódica como troca de eléctrodos e soluções de calibração.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A correcção do pH pode ser feita utilizando-se várias substâncias. Para acidificar a água do aquário podem ser utilizadas soluções de ácido clorídrico (HCl) ou ácido fosfórico (H3PO4), porém muito cuidado deve ser tomado na manipulação destas substâncias pois tratam-se de ácidos fortes e podem causar queimaduras em contacto com a pele, além do fosfato ser um óptimo incentivador de algas. Por exemplo, se deseja corrigir o pH de 7 para 6,8 utilize uma solução 30 % de HCl na proporção de 1 gota para cada 3 litros de água.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para alcalinizar a água pode ser usada uma solução de NaOH (hidróxido de sódio) 20 % na proporção de 1 gota para cada 3 litros de água. Alguns sais também podem ser usados na correcção do pH do aquário. Por exemplo para alcalinizar a água podem ser utilizados os seguintes sais: Na2CO3 (carbonato de sódio), NaHCO3 (bicarbonato de sódio), Na2HPO4 (monohidrogeno fosfato de sódio) e para acidificar pode ser usado o NaH2PO4 (dihidrogeno fosfato de sódio), os sais de potássio também podem ser usados. Estes sais em contacto com água sofrem uma reacção chamada de hidrólise que interfere no equilíbrio de dissociação da água alterando o pH. Por exemplo o Na2CO3 aumenta o pH devido a seguinte reacção química:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CO 32 - + H 2O ® HCO 3- + OH -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O OH- liberado na reacção é o responsável pelo aumento do pH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mistura de NaH2PO4 e Na2HPO4 em partes iguais forma uma solução tampão com pH em torno de 6,9. A formação do tampão evita que ocorram mudanças no pH. Uma explicação mais detalhada sobre tampões será assunto de um artigo futuro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para manter o pH ácido naturalmente pode-se colocar no aquário um troncos ou turfa no sistema de filtração (estes materiais devem ser bem lavados e preparados antes de se colocar no aquário pois podem tingir a água).

São fáceis de retirar normalmente devem-se ao excesso de fosfatos na água. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A forma de se livrar delas é comprar muitas plantas de rápido crescimento, de forma a que estas compitam naturalmente com as algas por nutrientes. Todavia pode apenas comprar um grupo de SAE (SIAMESIS comedores de algas) ou Otoncilus (referidos normalmente de otos). Eles comerão rapidamente as algas. É melhor comprar grupos de 3 ou mais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Algas vermelhas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.aquariumslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/brush.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 130px; height: 84px;" src="http://www.aquariumslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/brush.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ocorrem em finos conjuntos. possivelmente são as mais difíceis de eliminar.

Compre um frupo deles e devem eliminá-las.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Algas azuis-verdes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.aquariumslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cyano.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:130px; height: 84px;" src="http://www.aquariumslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cyano.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta alga &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Cyanobacteria&lt;/span&gt; aparece em diferentes cores, em forma de tapete. Enfraquece as plantas e pode libertar toxinas que podem matar os peixes. Estas fixam o nitrogénio e ocorrem em aquários com 0 ou valores baixos de nitratos, e com elevados nutrientes como por exemplo os fosfatos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Com livrar-se Delas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sem uma cura definida, os peixes não a comem. Pode usar antibióticos mas com muito cuidado. Tente reduzir os fosfatos adicionando potássio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma das curas possíveis, e que funciona em todas as algas embora perigosa é aumentar o nível de oxigénio na água.Com uma seringa deve aplicar-se doses muito pequenas de água oxigenada nas algas de forma a queimá-las. Mas não deve exagerar na dose pois matará a planta. Passados 30 minutos trocar a água para não envenenar os peixes de o2 em exagero. Espero que tenha servido de ajuda ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-3567165396013793719?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/3567165396013793719'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/3567165396013793719'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/03/tipos-de-algas-mais-comuns-by.html' title='Tipos de Algas mais Comuns (by http://www.plantedtank.net)'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-6647459175116835075</id><published>2011-03-01T10:25:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-03-01T10:27:05.527Z</updated><title type='text'>Início à aquariofilia segundo  site: Arca de Noé</title><content type='html'>Inicio à aquariofilia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terça, 12 de Março 2002&lt;br /&gt;Autor: Hospital Veterinario Principal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inicio à aquariofilia&lt;br /&gt;A escolha de um peixe principalmente para o iniciado é uma situação muito importante pois pressupõe um investimento elevado em material, desde o aquário e seus acessórios, alimentação, os peixes em si que se deseja. Tendo em vista esses investimentos o comprador tem de ser uma pessoa cautelosa de forma a que uma actividade relaxante como a aquariofilia não se torne uma situação geradora de stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É claro que nenhuma loja é sempre 100% perfeita, mas a diferença entre uma boa loja e uma loja fraca pode ser enorme assim que visitar algumas. Visite uma loja várias vezes, e não confie apenas numa experiência. Prefira uma loja especializada em peixes a uma loja generalista que venda todo o tipo de animais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terá mais possibilidades em encontrar um profissional que perceba do assunto. Se os peixes não têm bom aspecto na loja e aparecem com barbatanas rasgadas, pontos brancos ( Ictio) e inclusivamente existem peixes mortos no fundo com fungos, o que significa que já estão mortos há algum tempo, provavelmente não irão sobreviver muito tempo após os levar para casa. Alias se alguma dessas condições se verificar e o lojista insistir em lhe vender um peixe desses aquários, vá a outro lugar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deverá discutir com o lojista, explicar-lhe a ideia do que deseja e o espaço e disponibilidade horária que possui e tome em conta a sua disponibilidade. Faça a mesma discussão em mais duas lojas e veja se as opiniões coincidem. Os peixes que estão em um aquário têm que ser compatíveis. Caso o não sejam deve desconfiar dos conhecimentos de quem os está a vender. Compre livros sobre piscicultura de forma a ir com uma ideia adequada do que deseja fazer e assim poderá comprovar se a pessoa que o atende sabe mesmo do que está a falar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As pessoas que lhe vendem os peixes têm de ter conhecimentos práticos sobre peixes e uma venda envolve geralmente uma longa explicação do lojista dos cuidados a ter com a água, qual o espaço que necessita e quais as espécies que podem interagir correctamente de forma a que o ecossistema do seu aquário entre em equilíbrio o mais rapidamente possível.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda não falámos do veterinário. Muito raramente os donos de peixes vão ao veterinário. O número de visitas é infinitesimal devido ao cuidado pós venda das lojas e da troca de ideias entre criadores de peixes. Se tenciona ter um veterinário a assisti-lo com os seus peixes, desiluda-se. São muito poucos os que têm formação especifica devido exactamente á falta de doentes. esta será uma situação em que estará efectivamente sozinho e em que terá algumas dificuldades nos primeiros meses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No entanto com um pouco de dedicação conseguirá ter o seu aquário a funcionar satisfatoriamente em pouco tempo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-6647459175116835075?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/6647459175116835075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/6647459175116835075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/03/inicio-aquariofilia-segundo-site-arca.html' title='Início à aquariofilia segundo  site: Arca de Noé'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-3085598754318461419</id><published>2011-02-28T10:14:00.004Z</published><updated>2011-02-28T10:23:16.818Z</updated><title type='text'>Equipa de Limpeza</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://amania.110mb.com/Images/otocinclus%20affinis4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 332px;" src="http://amania.110mb.com/Images/otocinclus%20affinis4.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Imagem do site http://amania.110mb.com/Chapters/Tech/algae-oto.html)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bom dia, uma das questões mais importantes no que toca à fauna de um aqua, é ter uma equipa de limpeza, a qual deve ter: camarões, peixes limpa algas.&lt;br /&gt;O peixe que vos trago hj,é um bom exemplar para a vossa equipa de limpeza.

Preferably 20 gallons (90 litre) or more. Even though small tanks are marketed as “Ideal for a beginner” they are not.  A larger tank will maintain temperature and water conditions better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2: Wash your filters in tank water, not tap water. Tap water contains chlorine that will kill beneficial bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3: Make frequent partial water changes. At a minimum, 25% per month should be changed.  It is better to change less water, more frequently. 10-15% per week is ideal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4: Do not overfeed your fish. The uneaten food will break down and foul your aquarium water.  The food that is eaten will be excreted by the fish and foul your aquarium water.  Fish should eat small amounts 2-3 times per day. As a rough estimate, a fish’s total daily intake should be equal to about the size of their eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5: Research your fish before buying. Make sure they are compatable in terms of water conditions and aggressiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6: Observe your fish before buying them. Make sure there are no obvious signs of illness or injury and that they swim freely and effortlessly. There should be no dead, dying or sick fish in the fish stores tanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7: Release new fish into the tank gradually. Float the bag of fish in the tank for 15-20 minutes to equalize water temperature. Do not add the fish stores water to your tank.  Drain the bag into a bucket, through a fishnet and allow the fish to swim out of the net into the tank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8: If possible, use a quarantine tank for your new fish. This will help ensure that your are not introducing disease to your tank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9: Understand the cycling process and new tank syndrome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10: Add additional fish to your tank slowly, over time, to ensure that the beneficial bacteria in the tank has time to build and keep up with the tanks rising ammonia loads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11: Do not overstock! 1″ of fish per gallon is generally used as a guideline, but this must be used with common sense. You simply can not put a 20 inch fish in a 20 gallon tank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12: Avoid using chemical additives if possible. They have different effects on different fish. Combining chemicals in the tank can lead to new, unintended chemicals occuring in the aquarium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important rule…If you have questions or need help, ask.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-5515174481534893702?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/5515174481534893702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/5515174481534893702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/12-concelhos-para-principiantes-by.html' title='12 concelhos para principiantes (by thinkaquatic)'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-8672566858305621744</id><published>2011-02-23T09:58:00.004Z</published><updated>2011-02-23T14:49:48.027Z</updated><title type='text'>Rasbora Espei e comida Elos</title><content type='html'>Bom dia hoje trago-vos um produto inovador que comprei para alimentar os meus rásbora spei e boraras. O Elos SV1 é uma comida em granulado pequeno, dimensionado para os peixes de reduzido tamanho, permitindo a estes peixes, que consigam alimentar-se eficazmente. Visto que a comida em flocos tem dois problemas, torna-se excessivamente grande para estes peixes e suja o aquário aumentando o nível de Nitratos e Fosfatos.

É importante escolher a comida dos peixes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Formulated with high quality ingredients providing high digestibility and palatability, Elos SV, is the first high-nutrition fish food range dedicated to the aquarium's species, as well as to the biological balance of the aquarium. Since its introduction in 1997 it has been proven by top fish breeders that Elos SV can be used to enhance fishes' immunity and successfully strengthen their resistance against bacterial, viral and parasitic infections. All this possible thanks to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * The addition of Beta-Glucans, natural substances which, stimulate the macrophages, specialized cells that reduce the pathogenic agents development.&lt;br /&gt;    * Implementing the OSCAR technology, a "post-extrusion" system to increase its nutrition level, increasing the level of Bio-availability thus reducing the need of over-feeding.&lt;br /&gt;    * Using Low temperature Extrusion, and LT raw material, where heat-sensitive nutrients such as amino acids and vitamins are unharmed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this leads to a high degree of feed digestibility and nutrient value, taking to the need of less food thus significantly reducing the level of organic waste into the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elos SV 1 has a small grain size, suitable for small fishes like Guppy, Neon, Swordtail, Rasbora, Caracyds, etc.. It is an innovative food, dust free and without free-oil which leads to excellent dispensing from automatic feeders, no oil film on the water surface and a clean water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HIGHLIGHTS:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Use of Beta Glucans: to improve fishes' resistance and survival rates&lt;br /&gt;    * High natural astaxanthin pigment levels: to enhance fish colors&lt;br /&gt;    * Superior nutritional profiles: excellent amino acid profile, high levels of highly unsaturated fatty acids, etc.&lt;br /&gt;    * Improved digestibility and palatability&lt;br /&gt;    * High quality pack: to reduce need of preservative implementing low PO4 level&lt;br /&gt;    * Potent flavourant/feed attractant: resulting in improved feed uptake and Food Conversion Ratios (FCRs)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Note: many types of fish foods contain various inorganic phosphate salts intentionally added to them as preservatives. Using aluminum cans/bags and taking particular care on the packing system which is made into controlled atmosphere, we have reduced the need to exceed with preservatives thus significantly reducing the level of PO4 released to the water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-8672566858305621744?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/8672566858305621744'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/8672566858305621744'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/rasbora-espei-e-comida-elos.html' title='Rasbora Espei e comida Elos'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-2286661525021605638</id><published>2011-02-22T10:33:00.003Z</published><updated>2011-02-22T10:39:56.366Z</updated><title type='text'>Rasbora espei</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://jbukkems.tweakdsl.nl/Vissen/Rasbora_espei.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

Consider this a crash-course in starting a planted aquarium. Most of these mistakes lead to the plants dying within a few weeks and, for those of us who don't give up easily, the process is repeated until either our patience or pocket is depleted. Often this is compounded by bad advice given by people at pet stores who often don't know a thing about plants, and even sell plants that aren't true aquatic plants. I'm sure many a potential planted aquarium enthusiast has been lost due to bad advice and these three mistakes. Here they are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. But it looks bright! - Often people try to grow plants under the light fixtures that come with an aquarium or come standard in a cheap hood. More than likely, this is a single fluorescent bulb, usually no more than 15 or 20 watts (steer WAY clear of incandescent, they just waste energy, heat your aquarium, and grow algae). The most critical element needed to grow live plants is light. Plants need light to photosynthesize, and without it, they may last a few days or a few weeks on their energy reserves, but eventually they will die. Many people are also mislead by bad advice into believing that the light that is sold with aquariums is adequate. The standard lighting that comes with an aquarium will typically only grow Java Moss and maybe Java Ferns and very poorly at that. If you like ugly, lanky, unhealthy plants go ahead and try it. No matter how bright it may look, it is not enough light. Plants only use specific colors of light, usually in the red and blue ranges. Humans perceive green as brightness. Therefore, what appears bright to us may not actually be helpful to plants. Always choose full spectrum lighting or specific plant growing bulbs, and at least 1.5-2 watts per gallon (WPG) is needed to grow the most basic of aquatic plants in an aquarium. Although this is not set in stone and the watts per gallon rule gets distorted with really small (under 10 gallons) or really big (over 75 gallons) aquariums, it is a good rule of thumb. The following breaks down what ranges qualify as different levels of light:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * 0-1.5 WPG - Extremely low, pretty much nothing will grow&lt;br /&gt;    * 1.5-2 WPG - Low, basic hardy aquatic plants will grow slowly&lt;br /&gt;    * 2-3 WPG - Medium, most aquatic plants will grow fine&lt;br /&gt;    * 3+ WPG - High, almost any aquatic plant can be grown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What must also be taken into account is the related effect of light levels on a plant. This brings me to mistake number two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. But I thought high light = a beautiful aquarium! - Say you splurge and buy an expensive high output light fixture for your aquarium. Throw some plants in and sit back and watch it grow, right? Wrong. Light in an aquarium is like the gas pedal in a car, the more you push it the faster you go, but the quicker things get out of hand, and when it does get out of hand it gets ugly. Having high light is not always best, especially for someone who's new to planted aquariums. A basic understanding of a plant's metabolic process is required (don't worry, I won't go into details). It takes a bunch of raw materials and energy and outputs a finished product (new growth). Raw materials are fertilizers, chemicals needed for growth, and energy is light. If it runs out of any one of these inputs, the whole thing shuts down, and more importantly, it can only go so fast. So when you throw a plant under high light, it immediately kicks the internal mechanisms into high gear. The plants just shut down when they run out of any one of the many chemicals needed to grow. If you don't fertilize your tank, you will quickly find that all high light does by itself is grow algae, and lots of it. Fast. Real fast. For this reason, if you're just starting out, my advice is to get a medium or low light setup. You don't have to fertilize as much (if at all with a low light setup) and things won't be moving at such a fast pace (and thus get out of control so quickly). It's very hard to recover from a serious algae bloom because once it's taken hold, some types are impossible to remove. I've heard horror stories of people being forced to totally break down their tank because of algae. You've got to stay on top of it from the start.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. But it was being sold as an aquatic plant! - Many fish stores sell aquatic plants. The problem is, many also sell plants that are not true aquatics. Often these can be found in big-box chain pet stores, where they make up 30-50% of the plants sold. Even at the local fish store, unless there is a dedicated employee who knows his or her facts, non-aquatic plants can be sold to an unsuspecting aquarist. Why these plants are sold as aquatic plants is beyond me, but I doubt it falls far from someone wanting to make a quick buck. They will survive fine underwater for a few months, maybe even a year, but they will steadily decline until they finally die. Since they are not true aquatics, they cannot survive submerged for long periods of time. The only way to avoid these plants is to educate yourself. Certain plants always seem to pop up:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * "Mondo Grass" Ophiopogon japonicus - This is a bushy grass with dark green leaves.&lt;br /&gt;    * "Purple Waffle" Hemigraphis colorata - Dark green broad leaves with purple undersides.&lt;br /&gt;    * "Aluminum Plant" Pilea cadierei -Dark green leaves with silver markings on the foliage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steer clear of these, you are just wasting your money, despite how pretty they may be. Can you imagine what would happen if fish stores were selling non-aquatic animals to put in your fish tank? Only by not buying these plants can we discourage fish stores and their suppliers from passing these off as true aquatic plants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as you avoid these three mistakes, you should get past the inital transition into the wonderful planted aquarium hobby. Then you can start upping the ante and experimenting with fancy rare plants and high tech setups. It's a steep learning curve, but do your research and you will be rewarded with an aquarium that exploding with life and color that you just can't take your eyes off of!&lt;br /&gt;(by Aquatic Eden)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-4265538927820164413?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/4265538927820164413'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/4265538927820164413'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/tres-erros-ao-comecar-em-aquarios.html' title='Três erros ao começar em Aquários Plantados'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-5224331534436231438</id><published>2011-02-17T10:43:00.000Z</published><updated>2011-02-17T10:46:18.830Z</updated><title type='text'>Como retirar as algas do Musgo</title><content type='html'>(brevemente em portugês)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could remove algae with the 'right' way by following the method from the paper written by Paul L. Sears and Kevin C. Conlin - Control of Algae in Planted Aquaria. You could also do the 'estimative' way recommended by Tom Barr - The Estimative Index of Dosing, or No Need for Test Kits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you have a life and don't have the time to do weekly change of water as what Tom Barr suggested, then you might want to consider reading the book by Diana L. Walstad - Ecology of the Planted Aquarium. In her book, Diana Walstad gives the scientific details about plant ecology in a planted aquarium. It's definitely a book you must read if you want to know more about your planted tank and reduce algae growth. You can following this link to read why Diana Walstad wrote the book ‘Ecology of the Planted Aquarium’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, this article here is not about the right way, the left way, or the middle path. It's the 'unorthodox' way of nuking algae from Java Moss or any other type of aquatic moss, easy, fast, and effective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you need are some bleach, water, moss, and algae. Mix about 5% bleach solution with 95% water in a container. Throw in the moss. Throw in the algae. Stirr them around in the bleach solution, and wait for 2 minutes. If the algae is soft algae, it should be 'bleached' by then. If it's the tougher Black Brush Algae(BBA), or Hair Algae, they should turn to a pale colour and would die later. Take out the moss and rinse a few times to make sure that the residual chlorine has been remove. Alternatively, you could dump the moss into another container and add in some anti-chlorine solution. After this treatment, your moss will be as good as new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   1. If your tank is full of algae, bleaching the java moss alone will not solve the algae problem.&lt;br /&gt;   2. This method is most applicable if you have lots of grown-out containers that you use for fry rearing. Usually we would want to put in some easy-growing Java Moss in the container to suck up the excess nutrient. After the fry have grown up, usually the moss would be covered with algae. After the bleach dip, the moss would be clean again for reuse.&lt;br /&gt;   3. Please remember to bleach the container also.&lt;br /&gt;   4. Keep the bleach out of small children's reach.&lt;br /&gt;   5. Do not drink the bleach solution.&lt;br /&gt;   6. In case the bleach gets into your body, consult a doctor immediately.&lt;br /&gt;   7. Aquamoss is not responsible for any death of human lives, fish, or plants if you apply this method.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(by http://www.aquamoss.net/Articles/Remove-Algae-From-Moss.htm)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-5224331534436231438?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/5224331534436231438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/5224331534436231438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/como-retirar-as-algas-do-musgo.html' title='Como retirar as algas do Musgo'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-6576116104927631259</id><published>2011-02-16T11:03:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-02-16T12:26:15.749Z</updated><title type='text'>Crystmas Moss</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.aquariumplantsandsupplies.com/images/PL-MO03-01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.aquariumplantsandsupplies.com/images/PL-MO03-01.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(By aquariumplantsandsupplies.com)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(em breve em português)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christmas Moss is as mysterious as some of the other mosses in the aquarium hobby. There is no consensus on its geographic origins and even the scientific name has a tendency to change. Its growth habits and appearance are just as varied. When grown attached to a piece of driftwood or rock, it forms triangular fronds in the shape of Christmas trees (hence the common name). If allowed to grow free floating, it tends to have a much less organized appearance and the triangular fronds are much less pronounced. In this form, it is often confused for the much more common Java Moss. In lower light, it grows much less densely, and again, is often much less organized in structure. Only under higher light conditions, attached or anchored to an object, does Christmas Moss show its true structure. It will form a pillowy bush of triangular fronds that is very attractive and undemanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This moss is very easy to grow in the aquarium, as it will grow with almost any amount of light. Although not as hardy as the legendary Java Moss, it will survive with low light and no CO2. Growth will not be the ideal structure and will be considerably slower, but it will still live. Like other mosses, Christmas Moss prefers cooler temperatures, under 77F. Over this, it tends to suffer, growing more slowly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an aquascaping element, its uses are limited to covering hardscape (rocks, driftwood) or creating a moss wall. A moss wall is created by sandwiching the moss between two pieces of mesh and placing this in the back or sides of a tank. The moss eventually grows through the mesh and covers it up, creating a wall of attractive triangular fronds (as seen in the picture above). It can be used as a carpeting plant, however this is not recommended, as it easily gets choked with mulm and debris and becomes an algae magnet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christmas Moss is best bought from other hobbyists who have it growing under ideal conditions in their own aquariums (thus making identification easier). Getting it in a local pet store or online can be risky, as Java Moss can be passed off as Christmas Moss at less than reputable establishments. Christmas Moss can be identified by its more regular branching pattern and slightly different leaf shape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shrimp and fish fry use it as cover and it is also an excellent source of food for both, harboring tiny infusoria (bugs). Overall, Christmas Moss is an excellent plant for covering hardscape, filling in gaps, and creating living backdrops in any aquarium.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Ideal for making Moss wall as your aquarium backdrop&lt;br /&gt;    * Preferred over Taiwan moss as backdrop, because of its unique 3-Dimensional feel&lt;br /&gt;    * Taxiphyllum species like Taiwan moss is flatter, thus commonly used to tie to driftwood&lt;br /&gt;    * Optimum temperature for growth is around 26 degree celcius.

Para início é bastante bom:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Autor: Edson Rechi (forumaquario.com.br)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Introdução:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um aquário plantado! Quem não admira estas verdadeiras obras de arte?&lt;br /&gt;O aquário plantado, hoje em dia, é moda entre grande parte dos aquariofilistas devido à beleza e paz transmitida. Aquários plantados são tanques que se enquadram com equipamentos e parâmetros físico-químicos para o desenvolvimento das plantas, mas nada impede de mantermos em harmonia espécies de peixes e plantas, desde que compatíveis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para isso devemos desmistificar alguns conceitos, que sempre são seguidos até atingir seu ápice e muitas vezes melhorados. Para se ter um belo tanque plantado, não basta inserir plantas no tanque e depois ficar se perguntando o porque não se desenvolvem ou trocando a cada vez que elas morrem. Devemos seguir algumas regras para o sucesso a qual vamos esclarecer de modo simples e objectivo neste artigo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notem que ao longo do texto, existe uma enorme diferença entre aquário plantado e "aquário com (de) plantas". Digo isso, porque é muito comum vermos aquários montados com plantas e não muito raro o aquariofilistas tem que trocá-las a cada mês. Claro, que existem algumas plantas que resistem por meses ou até anos, mas não por méritos da montagem do sistema e sim pela sua rusticidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Escolhendo o aquário:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tamanho não é documento!&lt;br /&gt;Existe uma infinidade de tamanhos de tanques a escolher, para a montagem de um aquário plantado. Lembrando sempre que pequenos tanques (os famosos "Nanos") são mais instáveis e difíceis de serem mantidos que tanques maiores. O tamanho do tanque muitas vezes depende da disponibilidade financeira e o espaço que temos em casa. Em geral entre 50L a 200L já permite uma boa montagem sem gastos financeiramente maiores, mas claro que quanto maior o tanque, melhor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Existem inúmeros tamanhos e formas, sendo os mais indicados aquários rectangulares (mais compridos que altos) ou cubos (aquários quadrados). Sempre opte por aquários não muito alto (no máximo 50cm de altura), já que frequentemente se usa lâmpada fluorescente tubular, podendo as plantas, mais baixas sentir falta de luz, caso o aquário seja muito alto. Se desejar um aquário acima de 50cm de altura, é altamente indicado usar lâmpadas VHO ou HQI que suprirão a necessidade luminosa de seu tanque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recomendado o uso de um bom termostato, para manter a temperatura estável, em geral a regra é usar 1W/L, ou seja, se tens um tanque de 200L, um bom termostato de 200W dará conta do recado. Oscilações acima de 2ºC diário, prejudica as plantas interferindo em seu metabolismo (peixes idem).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A água:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;99% dos aquariofilistas usam água de torneira, devemos nos precaver de alguns cuidados básicos como Cloro, Metais pesados, Fosfatos. Use sempre um bom condicionador de água (ex. Aquasafe), para eliminar tais substâncias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notem que a água usada em aquários plantados não é diferente de aquários comunitários sem plantas, não há nada em geral para abordar mais detalhadamente. Em geral plantas vivem bem em pH levemente ácido ou levemente alcalino (6.5 a 7.5) com dureza baixa ou média e temperaturas entre 25º a 29º. É indispensável o uso de condicionadores, além de ser sempre bom ter em mãos testes de pH, KH, GH e fosfatos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Filtros:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De primeira: Se você usa o famoso FBF (fundo biológico de fundo, sim aquelas plaquetas pretas que ficam abaixo do cascalho), descarte o uso deste tipo de filtro, pois aquários com este sistema prejudica o crescimento das raízes e nos limita e muito no uso de substratos fertilizantes para as plantas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As melhores opções são os filtros externos HangOn(aqueles que ficam pendurado nas bordas do vidro) e filtros tipo Canister. Os primeiros levam vantagem por não custarem tanto e cumprem bem seu papel, já o Canister são os mais indicados, por inúmeros óptimos motivos, embora dependendo da marca, o preço poderá ser proibitivo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Filtros Dry-Wet e Sumps devem ser evitados, por removerem muito CO2 da água conforme vamos ver logo abaixo. O dimensionamento da filtragem é que ela deva circular em média 5X o volume total do aquário por hora.&lt;br /&gt;Sempre que optar por filtros externos, evite que este cause um forte fluxo de água no aquário causando desperdício de CO2, que é essencial para as plantas. Sempre deixe a coluna d' água bem rente à caída da água dos filtros. Deverá possuir uma excelente filtragem biológica e mecânica (leia artigo sobre filtros para melhor compreensão).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-2542329539910885978?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/2542329539910885978'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/2542329539910885978'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/artigo-de-um-forum.html' title='Artigo de um Fórum'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-2300040800564756531</id><published>2011-02-10T11:16:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-02-10T11:18:24.800Z</updated><title type='text'>ADA - Takashi Amano - Japão</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.adana.co.jp/en/gallery/img/img01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 100px;" src="http://www.adana.co.jp/en/gallery/img/img01.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mais info: http://www.adana.co.jp&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-2300040800564756531?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/2300040800564756531'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/2300040800564756531'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/ada-takashi-amano-japao.html' title='ADA - Takashi Amano - Japão'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-5863488433663431330</id><published>2011-02-10T10:41:00.005Z</published><updated>2011-02-11T11:28:09.999Z</updated><title type='text'>Ctenopoma acutirostre -  Ctenopoma Leopardo</title><content type='html'>Bom dia, hoje trouxe um peixe que achei muito interessante partilhar convosco. Aqui vai:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.forumaquario.com.br/portal/atlas_fish/img/Ctenopoma%20acutirostre.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 291px; height: 269px;" src="http://www.forumaquario.com.br/portal/atlas_fish/img/Ctenopoma%20acutirostre.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Origem: Bacia do Rio Congo (África)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comp: 15 cm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aqua (tamanho) 200 L&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PH: 7.0&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Temperatura: 38ºC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(em breve em Português)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; truly magnificent fish - the Ctenopoma acutirostre is pure eye candy. The striking leopard like pattern and short spikes on the fins give the Ctenopoma acutirostre an exotic look. These fish are a part of the unique Anabantidae family, freshwater fishes from Africa and Southern Asia. They are related therefore to the ever popular Betta Fish (Betta splendens).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ctenopoma acutirostre needs plenty of room to hide out and live happily. They are carnivorous fish who love to stalk their prey, holding themselves completely vertical, bending their caudal fin to look "leaf like" before going in for a kill. Instantaneously before a kill, the Ctenopoma opens its mouth creating a cylinder type funnel and swallows the prey whole. Feedings should be various and should always include some sort of "live" food (frozen included). Favorites are feeder guppies, live/frozen brine shrimp, tubefex worms and mollusks. Often general tropical fish flake food and pellets are accepted as supplements. If these fish are given the listed diet and proper space, they will often grow to 1/2 their adult size with in 2-3 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These fish must have generous sources of hiding spots in driftwood, cavernous rocks and the like to be able to rest and lurk. Being nocturnal fishes (hence the large eyes) they enjoy a very densely planted tank in which to slide amongst the shadows. They are semi-aggressive, but can be good tank mates with other fish as long as the Ctenopoma has plenty of its own private caves/crevices which it will guard diligently. As well, tank mates should be larger than the Ctenopoma or else they will most certainly become a meal. The Ctenopoma does best with other fish who have mild temperaments, as this fish will fight when challenged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sexing can be difficult, but males display short spines on the gill covers which the females do not. Breeding has been obtained with moderate skill - but personally I have yet to attempt. The tank should be well planted and large and the temperature should be increased to at least 26°C. Water should be very soft and slightly acidic. The fish are bubble nest builders, but are not diligent parents and should be removed after spawning. Fry take typical foods including green water, fry "starter foods" and then should be moved on to live food such as live brine shrimp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fish has truly been an exciting venture for me. She is with out a doubt my favorite fish amongst all my marine and freshwater tanks. Being a relatively rare fish, I wasn't able to glean a lot of information from the web/books. Much of what I have learned has been from trial and error. My Ctenopoma is slightly camera shy, and truly finds her joy in hiding in her selected driftwood and stalking little feeder guppies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(By AquaHobby)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-5863488433663431330?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/5863488433663431330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/5863488433663431330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/ctenopoma-acutirostre-ctenopoma.html' title='Ctenopoma acutirostre -  Ctenopoma Leopardo'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-2266121938553992847</id><published>2011-02-09T11:32:00.010Z</published><updated>2011-02-09T11:56:56.200Z</updated><title type='text'>Killfish (Fundulopanchax Gardneri)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="data:image/jpg;base64,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"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

Pois bem o erro no é começar por usar uma espécie fácil, o erro incorre de duas situações:&lt;br /&gt;1- Misturar vivíparos com ovíparos&lt;br /&gt;2- Manter-se sempre com esses peixes e não evoluir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pois bem hoje trago-vos um peixe curioso, cujas ovas se podem mandar vir pelo correio, bastante resistentes e se podem incubar e criar fácilmente, com artemia ou fragmentos finos de comida, a SERA tem.&lt;br /&gt;Pois bem trago-vos os Killis, uns peixes pequenos muito bonitos e resistentes uma óptima alternativa em quem estagnou em betas, guppies e etc. Ofereçam a um amigo os peixes e avancem ;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aplocheilidae&lt;br /&gt;Distribution&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cameroon and Nigeria.&lt;br /&gt;Habitat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It occurs in rainforest and savanna streams and ponds.&lt;br /&gt;Maximum Standard Length&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.6" (6.5cm).&lt;br /&gt;Minimum Tank Size&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18" x 10" x 10" (45cm x 25cm x 25cm) - 28 litres, although it can be spawned in smaller aquaria.&lt;br /&gt;Tank Setup&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dark substrate should be used, ideally peat moss or similar and the tank should have dense areas of planting and pieces of wood to serve as cover. The use of floating plants to further diffuse the light is also recommended. This species is an accomplished jumper so the cover must be very tight fitting. The water in the aquarium should be filtered through peat if possible.&lt;br /&gt;Temperature&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;73-79°F (23-26°C)&lt;br /&gt;pH Range&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.0-7.5&lt;br /&gt;Hardness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2-10°H&lt;br /&gt;Diet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Small live or frozen foods such as daphnia or bloodworm are preferred although the fish will also accept good quality flake in most cases.&lt;br /&gt;Compatibility&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a robust killi that can be kept with others, but is not a fish for the general community. Species that inhabit different levels of the tank than the killis make the best tankmates, such as Corydoras catfish, peaceful dwarf cichlids or Loricariids. Male F. g. gardneri are very aggressive towards one another and sufficient space must be provided if more than one is to be kept. Females should be kept in small groups of 2 or 3 per male as they may be harassed quite vigorously by the males.&lt;br /&gt;Sexual Dimorphism&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Males are more brightly coloured than females.&lt;br /&gt;Breeding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relatively easy. Egg scatterers. There exist several different methods of spawning this fish in aquaria and much is down to personal preference. A trio can easily be spawned in an aquarium as small as 12" x 8" x 8". It's recommended that this fish be spawned in trios of 2 females and 1 male as males can be quite hard on females.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many breeders do not use filtration in killi breeding setups but the the use of a small, air-driven sponge filter to prevent stagnation will do no harm. Water should be soft and acidic pH 6.0-6.5 (although there are instances of this species being bred in water of up to pH 8.0) with a temperature of 75-80°F. The tank should be unlit, and peat filtration is useful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fish should be conditioned on a varied diet of live and frozen foods. Keep the 2 sexes apart in separate conditioning tanks and selecting the best male and plumpest females before placing them in the spawning tank. This method allows females to recover between spawnings. Eggs are deposited in the substrate or in clumps of vegetation in nature. Therefore, either a layer of peat moss on the floor of the aquarium or clumps of fine-leaved plants such as java moss should be provided. Spawning mops can also be used. A bare-bottomed setup with spawning mops is easiest for both maintenance and egg collection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If water conditions are good and the fish are well conditioned, spawning should present no problems. The eggs can be left in the aquarium to hatch with the parents but some eggs and fry may be eaten. If you want to raise a good-sized group, the eggs should be removed. 10-30 eggs are deposited daily for around 2 weeks and these should be gently removed as they are noticed. Each trio should only be allowed to spawn for a week or so before being returned to the conditioning tank as the spawning process is hard on the fish (particularly the female) and they can become fatigued and weak if left for too long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once removed, the eggs can be incubated either in water or by placing them on a damp layer of peat moss in a small container (margarine tubs are ideal). Less eggs tend to fungus using the latter method, although fungussed eggs should still be removed as they are noticed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If incubating in water, the eggs can be transferred to a small aquarium or dish containing water from the spawning tank to a depth of 1-2 inches to which has been added 1-3 drops of methylene blue depending on volume. This container should be checked daily for fungussed eggs, which should be removed with a pipette. The eggs will hatch in 14-20 days depending on temperature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If incubating on peat moss place the container in a warm, dark place and simply leave it for 21 days, after which the eggs will be ready to hatch. If you are spawning several species or multiple broods it is a good idea to label each container with the date, hatching date, species and number of eggs to prevent any disasters. Hatching can usually be induced by simply placing the eggs in the raising aquarium after 21 days, where the wetting of the eggs stimulates hatching. If this fails, blowing gently into the water through a straw or piece of airline can trigger hatching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fry can be fed brine shrimp nauplii or microworm as soon as they have used up their yolk sacs. The water must initially be kept very shallow but the level can be raised as the fry grow, which they do rapidly. Regular small water changes should be made to the raising tank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a superb beginner's killifish being beautiful, easy to breed and relatively long-lived. It was formerly classed as Aphyosemion gardneri and indeed still is in much of the available literature. It is a member of the subgenus Paraphyosemion. There are many different colour variants in nature and several have been described as subspecies, including F. g. nigerianus, F. g. lacustris and F. g. mamfensis. Obviously, these should not be allowed to hybridise in aquaria and so should not be kept together, although aquarium care them all is virtually identical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly it appears that F. g. gardneri occurs as both an annual and non-annual fish. This adaptation allows it to inhabit many different habitats, as it's able to breed in both permananent and temporary bodies of water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(by Seriously Fish)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mais info: http://www.seriouslyfish.com/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breeding Fundulopanchax gardneri Jos Plateau&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Kenneth Balog&lt;br /&gt;From Wet Pet Gazette, Norwalk Aquarium Society&lt;br /&gt;Aquarticles&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fundulopanchax gardenri is a beautiful semi-annual killifish from west central Africa. The species is comprised of a large number of geographical subspecies and color variants ranging from yellow through reds, greens, and blues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The subject of this article, Fundulopanchax gardneri nigerianus Jos Plateau, comes from the Jos Plateau region of central Nigeria. Its habitat ranges from streams, pools and ponds in forests and grasslands of the region. The water is soft and slightly acidic with temperatures ranging from 74-79 degrees Fahrenheit. The Jos Plateau population reaches a maximum size of approximately 2 ½ inches. Males are sky blue with red spots across the head and body. The unpaired fins are blue at the body with a red stripe and finally a broad yellow border. Females are dull brown with dark brown spots and a light abdomen. The females are generally smaller with a larger girth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fundulopanchax gardneri is a classic two-week mop-spawning killifish. As such, a pair was placed in a bare 2 ½ gallon tank with just an airstone. The fish seemed happiest with a very gentle current in the tank, so the airflow was kept very low. The water was 74 degrees Fahrenheit with a pH of 6.8, and 40-60 % water changes were made almost every day. The fish were fed a variety of flakes, frozen, and live foods. The male and female got along well from the start and no problems with diseases were experienced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spawning mop was added to the tank and suspended below a plastic fishing float, and the fish proceeded to produce eggs at a rate of 7- 34 a day. (This prolific egg production was shocking in light of earlier experiences with the Baiisa population. That fish produced at most 1 or 2 eggs per week) The largest spawns were observed the day after a large feeding of meaty foods, especially baby brine shrimp. Spawning occurred most often in the morning and just before the lights went out at night. The eggs were well hidden within 3 inches of the top or bottom of the mop in classic switch-spawner fashion. The eggs measured approximately 1/8 inch in diameter and were clear to light amber in color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each night, the mop was pulled, squeezed lightly and the eggs were hand picked and placed in a shallow bowl with about 3/4 inch of water to incubate. The eggs were quite tough and the few that were crushed in handling were either unfertilized or just laid. Non-viable eggs were attacked by fungus as noted by a change in color to white. These eggs were removed with an eyedropper as soon as they were seen. Small water changes were made every few days using water from the parents' tank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the next two weeks, the eggs gradually darkened and the eyes became visible. Hatching occurred at 14-16 days at 74 degrees. All fry were moved to a separate rearing bowl by eyedropper as they appeared. The fry were approximately 3/16 of an inch in length at hatching, and possessed little or no yolk sac. The fry were free-swimming almost immediately and could take microworms and baby brine shrimp without difficulty. Uneaten food was removed daily by eyedropper and small water changes were well tolerated by the fry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fry were extremely hardy and virtually no losses were experienced. Well-fed on a variety of foods they reached ½ inch at 3 weeks and 1 inch in 5 weeks. No sibling cannibalism was observed, so it wasn't necessary to separate them by size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All told, Fundulopanchax gardneri is a beautiful, easy to keep killifish that is well-suited for any aquarist who wants to try breeding fish.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-2266121938553992847?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/2266121938553992847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/2266121938553992847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/killfish-fundulopanchax-gardneri.html' title='Killfish (Fundulopanchax Gardneri)'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-3423112516846722394</id><published>2011-02-09T11:26:00.001Z</published><updated>2011-02-09T11:30:48.631Z</updated><title type='text'>Escalares --&gt; Amazónia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://arcadenoe.sapo.pt/img/articles/image_348.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://arcadenoe.sapo.pt/img/articles/image_348.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-3423112516846722394?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/3423112516846722394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/3423112516846722394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/escalares-perto-dos-originarios-da.html' title='Escalares --&gt; Amazónia'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-792014269944573470</id><published>2011-02-08T12:21:00.003Z</published><updated>2011-02-08T12:28:32.339Z</updated><title type='text'>ELOS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.bubbles-shop.com/loja/images/2a336852bcc4c04355bbac5dd7f26f67.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.bubbles-shop.com/loja/images/2a336852bcc4c04355bbac5dd7f26f67.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elos é uma marca de elevada qualidade de material para aquários especializada em aquários plantados.

Tem um corpo cor de prata, com barbatanas vermelhas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Buenos Aires Tetra can be housed in an aquarium with other soft water fish. Tetras are a schooling fish that work well in groups of six or more fish of the same species. Artificial plants, rocks and driftwood help to enhance its natural habitat and provide hiding spaces. The Buenos Aires Tetra will eat most live plants, except Java Fern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buenos Aires Tetras breed occasionally in an aquarium setting and a hospital or "breeding tank" will be necessary. Slightly acidic water is best for optimal breeding habits. After the eggs begin to hatch, removing the parents will reduce the number of lost fry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Buenos Aires Tetra will accept many small foods such as brine shrimp or daphnia, freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex, micro pellet food, and a high quality flake food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; (by http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=830+890+2954&amp;pcatid=2954)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;assim que possa passo a tuguês :).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-8865726538828847215?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/8865726538828847215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/8865726538828847215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/02/buenos-aires-tetra-hemigrammus.html' title='Buenos Aires Tetra (Hemigrammus caudovittatus)'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-4190251641145728219</id><published>2011-02-07T16:13:00.005Z</published><updated>2011-02-07T16:20:11.907Z</updated><title type='text'>Escalares</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://arcadenoe.sapo.pt/img/petsites/59/57359_estrelinha_img.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 192px; height: 144px;" src="http://arcadenoe.sapo.pt/img/petsites/59/57359_estrelinha_img.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ora o meu peixe favorito!

O Barbo tigre. devido à falta de tempo coloco artigos que encontro. Abraço.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sua origem: Indonésia, Sumatra e Bornéu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Data de origem: Bleeker, 1855&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esperança de vida: 6 anos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nome científico: Barbus tetrazona&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Família: Cyprinidae (Ciprinídeos)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tamanho: 6 para 7 cm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Temperatura: 20 para 26 °C&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um pouco de História:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Barbo Tigre é um peixe de habitates muitos variados.&lt;br /&gt;Vive ao largo da Indonésia, mas são também encontrados em várias partes do Sul da Ásia. Este é um peixe bastante conhecido na comunidade aquariofilia e muito fácil de encontrar nas lojas da especialidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Temperamento:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bastante rápido e de temperamento agressivo, o Barbo Tigre mordisca os peixes de barbatanas longas e ataca as espécies mais pacíficas. Os peixes mais pequenos são também vulneráveis junto desta espécies. Devem por isso ser mantidos em grupos numerosos pois deste modo tornam-se mais calmos. Por se tratar de um peixe relativamente agressivo, não deve ser mantido com espécies de barbatanas longas, pacíficas e calmas ou de tamanho menor. Os barbos são contudo peixes de cardume e devem ser mantidos em grupo, no mínimo de 5 indivíduos. Betas, guramis, gupies, escalares não devem estar junto com barbos. Estes são mais indicados para partilhar o aquário com danios, platis e peixes-gato. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tamanho do aquário:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Barbo Tigre é um peixe bastante activo e deve por isso ter bastante espaço à disposição, no mínimo 100 litros. O aquário deve ter bastante vegetação. Apesar de ser um peixe muito resistente em relação às condições da água é bastante frágil no que diz respeito a doenças. Gosta de explorar o solo em procura de comida e ao comer o que não deve, pode facilmente ficar doente. É por isso bastante importante ter um boa filtragem. A temperatura da água deve ser mantida entre os 20 e os 26ºC, com um PH entre 6 e 8. A dureza da água não baixar dos 5 nem ultrapassar os 19 dGH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Descrição:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sua coloração amarela dourada é quebrada por quatro listas negras verticais e pelo focinho vermelho. Este peixe chega a atingir os 7 cm. O Barbo Tigre atinge a maturidade sexual quando mede entre 2 a 3 cm, ou seja, aproximadamente entre 6 e as 7 semanas. Existem algumas mutações de cor nesta espécie, que são progressivamente mais procuras: o barbo verde e o dourado, sem listas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Reprodução:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A reprodução é bastante fácil, embora se deva ter bastante cuidado neste período com a qualidade e temperatura da água. A temperatura ideal para a reprodução ronda os 26º C e o PH deve marcar 7.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os machos podem atacar e chegar mesmo a matar as fêmeas que não estão ainda prontas para acasalar. Por isso o melhor é separar um casal de barbos tigre e colocá-los num aquário pequeno, 20 litros são suficientes.É posto um número significativo de ovos que eclodem ao fim de dia e meio.

Adoro os tetras e peixes semelhantes, não crescem muito e fazem um cardume lindíssimo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(by "a Era dos Aquários")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oriundo das águas tropicais (26-28ºC), ácidas (pH 5.5-6.8), mole e lentas de lagoas, pântanos e diques do sudeste asiático (Indonésia, Penínsulas Malaia até Sumatra), tem uma espectativa média de vida por volta de 2 anos. Com seus 2,5 cm é considerado o menor dos Ciprinideos e está entre os 10 menores vertebrados. Normalmente é confundida com a Rasbora kalochroma, mas esta espécie é muito maior. Pela literatura, é um animal de fácil reprodução, necessitando estar em cardumes mínimos de 12 a 15 indivíduos. Os peixes desovam por entre as plantas, mas pela baixa aderência fatalmente os ovos acabam por se desprender, sendo aconselhável o uso de uma "grelha/tela" no fundo para que não sejam devorados pelos pais. Os alevinos, que eclodem em 24-36 horas, alimentam-se de infusórios nas primeiras semanas, até que gradualmente comecem a aceitar náupilos de artemias. A coloração padrão é de um bege levemente alaranjado, como uma mancha preta na lateral e mais 2 outras manchas próximas as bases das nadadeiras anal e caudal. O dimorfismo sexual é notado na época do acasalamento (normalmente no meio da primavera até meados do verão) quando as fêmeas apresentam-se "roliças", com o ventre bem dilatado. Os machos são ligeiramente menores e mais esbeltos. Nesta época os peixes apresentam-se mais coloridos, surgindo belos tons de vermelho-alaranjado, sendo que nos machos a coloração vermelha torna-se tão intensa que chega a ofuscar as manchas pretas das bases da nadadeiras anal a caudal, e surge uma pequena mancha vermelha na nadadeira anal. Tenho alimentado elas com rações esmigalhadas, náupilos de artêmias e artêmias jovens, tudo em tamanho suficiente para caber em suas diminutas bocas.&lt;br /&gt;Escrito por "Alex Kawazaki".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-1028717954300139394?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/1028717954300139394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/1028717954300139394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/01/borara.html' title='Borara'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-3260180107640079632</id><published>2011-01-13T01:35:00.010Z</published><updated>2011-01-17T12:13:00.635Z</updated><title type='text'>Rasbora Harlequim</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_13nKtIh0lHw/TS89YqVyzAI/AAAAAAAAACU/-TZhGxJoaZ8/s1600/22394_ins_rheteromorpha.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_13nKtIh0lHw/TS89YqVyzAI/AAAAAAAAACU/-TZhGxJoaZ8/s320/22394_ins_rheteromorpha.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561731558717705218" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boas hoje trago um peixe que adoro.Quando tiver tempo mudarei o artigo integralmente para português. Abraço&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  O Rásbora Harlequim é um peixe de pequenas dimensões pertencente à família &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Cyprinidae"&lt;/span&gt;, sub-família Rasborinae, que originalmente tinha o nome de &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Rasbora heteromorpha"&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;O nome específico &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"heteromorpha"&lt;/span&gt;, refere-se à forma do corpo desta espécie, que difere dos outros membros do género Rasbora. Por esta razão e por ter uma forma diferente de respirar, este peixe está ligado a um novo género: o Trigonostigma. Esta é a forma como é conhecido agora no mundo científico, como Trigonostigma heteromorpha.&lt;br /&gt;O nome comum para este peixe, Rásbora Harlequim, é alusivo ao padrão triangular negro no seu corpo e à cor laranja que é semelhante aos padrões encontrados num fato de harlequim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta espécie é muito popular entre os aquariofilistas, talvez o mais conhecido Rásbora. A espécie está em circulação desde 1934 &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;(Innes, 1966, p. 172)&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Harlequin Rasbora is a fish that has an approximately lozenge-shaped body, whose basal colour from the head to the caudal peduncle is an orange-pink, the exact hue varying depending upon such factors as water conditions and the original population from which the fish was obtained. The posterior half of the body is overlaid with a large, roughly triangular black marking, that tapers toward the terminal end of the caudal peduncle, and begins approximately below the midpoint of the attachment of the dorsal fin (commonly called a "black wedge"). In common with all Cyprinids, the articulation of the pectoral and pelvic fins follows a familiar pattern, the pectoral fins being located immediately posterior to the operculum or gill cover, whilst the pelvic fins are located some way further back along the ventral portion of the body, in this case almost directly in a vertical line drawn through the dorsal fin. This relationship between the pectoral and pelvic fins is seen in Characins as well as Cyprinids, and is a feature of all the Ostariophysans (fishes possessing an auxiliary mechanism for detecting sound consisting of a set of internal bones called the Weberian Ossicles).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dorsal, anal, caudal and pelvic fins are all tinted red, the caudal fin being forked, with the red colour concentrated in the outermost rays, the inner section of the tail fin being more hyaline.&lt;br /&gt;Lamb chop rasboras T. espei&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is possible to confuse this fish with two similar species that were indeed originally considered to be subspecies of T. heteromorpha, namely Trigonostigma espei and Trigonostigma hengeli. These fishes are more slender in body shape than T. heteromorpha, and the black marking, instead of being approximately triangular, has a horizontal stripe which tapers towards the caudal peduncle, and is greatly thickened and extended downwards below the dorsal fin. Due to this fishes with this marking are commonly known as "Lamb Chop Rasboras" due to its perceived resemblance to the butchery cut known as a Lamb Chop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A fully mature individual Harlequin Rasbora attains a standard length of 2 inches (5 cm).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Males are cited as possessing a slightly larger black body patch than females, with the section adjoining the anal fin being more rounded in males. Ripe females are noticeably fuller in body outline.&lt;br /&gt;[edit] Habitat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Harlequin Rasbora inhabits streams and other watercourses characterised principally by low mineral content, high concentrations of dissolved humic acids, a consequence of those waters flowing through peat swamp forests. The waterlogged soils of these forests inhibit the complete decay of leaf litter, and result in the formation of peat, which leaches humic acids and related compounds into the watercourses flowing through these forests. The conditions thus resemble those found on a different continent, namely the blackwater habitats of South America, and the water chemistry of the Asian habitats of the Harlequin Rasbora is accordingly similar to that of the Rio Negro.&lt;br /&gt;[edit] Aquarium Maintenance&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the relatively uniform water chemistry of its various habitats, the Harlequin Rasbora is an adaptable fish in the aquarium, provided that migration of the fishes to waters of differing chemical parameters is conducted with due care. The fish will live in an aquarium in waters ranging from a pH of 6.0 to 7.8, and hardness ranges from zero to 15°dH. However, whilst for maintenance purposes water chemistry is not critical provided that cleanliness of the aquarium is maintained, for breeding purposes the water chemistry becomes considerably more so (see below). The temperature range of the Harlequin Rasbora is usually cited as 22°C to 27°C (72°F to 81°F) (for example, Walker, 1971, p.101) but the fish is capable of living in temperatures from 21°C to 28°C, and indeed usually breeds at around 28°C (82.4°F).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Harlequin Rasbora is a shoaling fish, and should be kept in a group comprising a minimum of six individuals, though shoals of larger numbers are preferable not only from the standpoint of the well-being of the fish, but from an aesthetic standpoint - a large shoal of Harlequin Rasboras presents a striking vista even to non-fishkeepers, and their active disposition in the water adds to the spectacle. Being a peaceful species, the Harlequin Rasbora may be maintained in a community aquarium setup with other similarly sized and peaceful aquarium fishes, including many of the small Characins from South America (the similarity in water chemistry of the two habitats for these different fishes has already been covered), assorted small Barbs, Danios, other small Rasboras, Corydoras catfishes, Otocinclus catfishes and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An aquarium intended to house Harlequin Rasboras should be planted with live plants, with some open areas for swimming provided between stands of plants such as Cryptocoryne species, these being among the plants that inhabit the Harlequin Rasbora's native waters. Likewise, some Asiatic species of Aponogeton may be utilised. Bushy plants such as Cabomba may also be used in the aquarium, but this genus of plants requires intense lighting, while the Cryptocoryne and Aponogeton species prefer more subdued lighting, as does the Harlequin Rasbora, so if the aquarist wishes to have a variety of plants in the aquarium, other species that prefer subdued lighting are better choices. Filtration should provide modest currents (most of the home watercourses inhabited by the fish are relatively slow moving) but still provide sufficient filtration turnover to maintain aquarium cleanliness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeding the Harlequin Rasbora presents no problems to the aquarist, as the fish enthusiastically accepts prepared foods, though for best health, a variety of these should be given, preferably interspersed with feedings of live foods such as Daphnia. For breeding purposes, conditioning with live foods is likely to boost success by a considerable margin, though even heavy live feeding will not induce spawning if the water chemistry is incorrect (see below). If available, mosquito larvae make an excellent conditioning food for this species.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lifespan of the Harlequin Rasbora has not been systematically determined, but individuals in the aquarium can be expected, with good care, to live for 5 to 6 years.&lt;br /&gt;[edit] Reproduction&lt;br /&gt;T. espei egg, 22 hours&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Harlequin Rasbora differs from the other popular "Rasboras" in the aquarium considerably with respect to breeding. Whilst other Rasboras are egg-scattering spawners, the Harlequin Rasbora deposits adhesive eggs on the underside of the leaves of plants such as Cryptocoryne and Aponogeton. The female will swim in an inverted position beneath a chosen leaf, rub her belly along the leaf in preparation for spawning, this action seemingly encouraging the male to join in spawning. When the male joins the female, he adopts a similar inverted position alongside her, and as the female extrudes her eggs and attaches them to the underside of the leaf, the male curls his tail fin around the body of the female and with a trembling motion, emits the sperm that will fertilise the eggs. 6 to 12 eggs at a time are deposited in this fashion with each such embrace, and the fishes repeat this course of action over a period of 2 hours or more, during which a large and well-conditioned female may deposit as many as 300 eggs, though 80 to 100 is a more typical number.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The breeding aquarium for the Harlequin Rasbora requires the presence of suitable plants - Cryptocoryne species being the premier choice. The water in the breeding aquarium MUST be soft and acidic, as the fishes are unlikely to spawn in hard, alkaline water, and furthermore egg fertility appears to be adversely affected in such conditions even if the parents do spawn. Aquarists intent upon simulating natural conditions as closely as possible may choose to filter the aquarium water over peat, thus replicating the humic acid concentrations found in the fish's native waters, though this is not absolutely necessary if the basic water chemistry parameters (no higher than 4°dH hardness, pH around 6.4) are correctly maintained. Temperature for breeding should be 28°C(82.4°F), and the parent fishes should be conditioned heavily with live foods such as Daphnia and mosquito larvae prior to the spawning attempt. Once spawning is completed, the parent fishes should be removed from the breeding aquarium to prevent instances of egg eating, which may occur with this species.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An excellent illustration (black and white photo) may be found in William T. Innes' book Exotic Aquarium Fishes on page 171, illustrating the inverted position adopted by the female during the preparation for spawning.&lt;br /&gt;[edit] Development&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fertile Harlequin Rasbora eggs require approximately 18 hours to hatch at a temperature of 28°C. Upon hatching, the fry are translucent, around 3 to 4 millimetres long, and remain attached to the leaf upon which the eggs were laid for a further 12 to 24 hours, during which the yolk sac is absorbed. Once this process is completed, the fishes become free-swimming, and at this stage, require very fine sizes of food such as live infusoria for a period of 7 to 14 days, after which the fry are able to feed upon newly hatched Brine Shrimp. If infusoria are unavailable, commercial prepared foods for egglayer fry may also be used.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Harlequin Rasbora takes approximately 8 to 10 weeks for the fry to assume full adult colouration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; (by wikipedia)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-3260180107640079632?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/3260180107640079632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/3260180107640079632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2011/01/rasbora-harlequim.html' title='Rasbora Harlequim'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_13nKtIh0lHw/TS89YqVyzAI/AAAAAAAAACU/-TZhGxJoaZ8/s72-c/22394_ins_rheteromorpha.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-7873706134448311264</id><published>2011-01-11T11:30:00.002Z</published><updated>2011-01-11T11:33:34.383Z</updated><title type='text'>Neo Caridina</title><content type='html'>Boas aqui vai mais um link útil para conhecerem mais tipos de Neo-Caridina.

Acabei por comprar um vaso de glossostigma e de outra planta. O que foi preencher o vazio que existia do lado esquerdo do aquário.&lt;br /&gt; Posso dizer que o crescimento do tapete esta a revlar-se lento, mas como tudo leva o seu tempo esperemos que de certo. A Rotala esta no seu melhor desenvolvimento, apresentando uma coloração avermelhada nas folhas de zona de crescimento.&lt;br /&gt; Posso indicar também um crescimento de algas, que é normal visto a forte intensidade da luz que e utilizada, mas com mudanças de água e a correcta fertelização é corrigivel.

Nao estava com muito dinheiro entao resolvi utilizar aquilo que tinha por casa.&lt;br /&gt; Substracto ADA, garrafa de Co2 caseiro, difusor, nao utilizei hardware(troncos e rochas) e comprei 5 Boraras. Usei plantas como: Rotalas, fetos de java e eleocharis parvula.&lt;br /&gt; E equipa de limpeza e constituida apenas por camaros neo caridina red.&lt;br /&gt; A minha ideia e fazer uma composição de plantas agradavel mas sem troncos nem pedras porque como disse nao estava com muito capital para investir.&lt;br /&gt; Alguma informação sobre os Boraras:&lt;br /&gt; Oriundo das águas tropicais (26-28ºC), ácidas (pH 5.5-6.8), mole e lentas de lagoas, pântanos e diques do sudeste asiático (Indonésia, Penínsulas Malaia até Sumatra), tem uma espectativa média de vida por volta de 2 anos. Com seus 2,5 cm é considerado o menor dos Ciprinideos e está entre os 10 menores vertebrados. Normalmente é confundida com a Rasbora kalochroma, mas esta espécie é muito maior. Pela literatura, é um animal de fácil reprodução, necessitando estar em cardumes mínimos de 12 a 15 indivíduos. Os peixes desovam por entre as plantas, mas pela baixa aderência fatalmente os ovos acabam por se desprender, sendo aconselhável o uso de uma "grelha/tela" no fundo para que não sejam devorados pelos pais. Os alevinos, que eclodem em 24-36 horas, alimentam-se de infusórios nas primeiras semanas, até que gradualmente comecem a aceitar náupilos de artemias. A coloração padrão é de um bege levemente alaranjado, como uma mancha preta na lateral e mais 2 outras manchas próximas as bases das nadadeiras anal e caudal. O dimorfismo sexual é notado na época do acasalamento (normalmente no meio da primavera até meados do verão) quando as fêmeas apresentam-se "roliças", com o ventre bem dilatado. Os machos são ligeiramente menores e mais esbeltos. Nesta época os peixes apresentam-se mais coloridos, surgindo belos tons de vermelho-alaranjado, sendo que nos machos a coloração vermelha torna-se tão intensa que chega a ofuscar as manchas pretas das bases da nadadeiras anal a caudal, e surge uma pequena mancha vermelha na nadadeira anal. Tenho alimentado elas com rações esmigalhadas, náupilos de artêmias e artêmias jovens, tudo em tamanho suficiente para caber em suas diminutas bocas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Aqui vão algumas fotos da fase inicial do projecto mais tarde vou acrescentar mais informação. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_13nKtIh0lHw/SpzQbjcgS8I/AAAAAAAAAA4/i1hxHy4whY8/s1600-h/Imagem+001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_13nKtIh0lHw/SpzQbjcgS8I/AAAAAAAAAA4/i1hxHy4whY8/s400/Imagem+001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376401226963372994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_13nKtIh0lHw/SpzQ1N_ZBbI/AAAAAAAAABA/3NkEYVAYFeg/s1600-h/Imagem+051.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_13nKtIh0lHw/SpzQ1N_ZBbI/AAAAAAAAABA/3NkEYVAYFeg/s400/Imagem+051.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376401667880715698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-6396412517725235951?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/6396412517725235951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/6396412517725235951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2009/09/o-meu-novo-aqua.html' title='O Meu novo Aqua'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_13nKtIh0lHw/SpzQbjcgS8I/AAAAAAAAAA4/i1hxHy4whY8/s72-c/Imagem+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-6904321476869424857</id><published>2007-10-27T05:11:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-10-27T05:43:58.701+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Iwagumi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1417/803512382_3f574520cc_o.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1417/803512382_3f574520cc_o.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Este tipo de aquario é muito utilizado, em aquários plantados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Porque?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;    A razão é muito simples, primeiro este tipo de aquario tem por detrás dele uma filosofia milenar japonesa, "iwagumi" que tem muito a ver com a aplicação desta em jardins. De forma a criar um ambiente zen, de paz e meditação, em que todos os pormenores são levados em conta e ao extremo da perfeição.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;    No caso dos jardins, estes incluem não so lagos perfeitamente decorados com plantas apropriadas, como também jardins de areia, e uma escolha riquissima quer de plantas ornamentais, quer de bonsais. Normalmente estes jardins existem em templos e casas abastadas, onde os japoneses se retiram para pensar e ver a paisagem.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;    Tal como tentei descrever em cima, este estilo provem da cultura nipónica. Este estilo de arte tem tambem a ver quer com a arquitectura, quer com o arranjo das pedras&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. A sua Historia remonta do século 7 e os documentos encontrados do século 10. Existem arranjos circulares de pedras, encontrados em Akita e Hokkaido. Contudo, parecem ter sido usados para rituais espirituais e não para arranjos bonitos para jardim. É errado pensar que o conceito de jardim era permaturo nessa época. No século 10 o budismo e novas culturas trazidas pela china e korea, foram importantes no desenvolvimento na arte de jardinar.&lt;br /&gt;     Os designers desta altura mostraram deter um elevado sentido estético. O que se passa nos aquarios plantados, é tentar através de um ambiente aquático tentar criar um ambiente de jardim natural existente na Natureza.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;    Este tipo de aquario tem também de obedecer as mesmas regras de equilibrio, e de estética. Aqui estão exemplos de formas de iwagumi que se podem utilizar, quer num jardim quer no aquário, é de salientar, que deve ser  criada uma disposição triangular.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ifnet.or.jp/%7Echisao/image/draw/sanzon/sirokuon.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 142px; height: 181px;" src="http://www.ifnet.or.jp/%7Echisao/image/draw/sanzon/sirokuon.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   Como podemos ver nestas imagens o equilibrio geométrico é deveras importante!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ifnet.or.jp/%7Echisao/image/draw/sanzon/sidaikau.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 167px;" src="http://www.ifnet.or.jp/%7Echisao/image/draw/sanzon/sidaikau.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ifnet.or.jp/%7Echisao/image/draw/sanzon/simotuji.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 157px; height: 136px;" src="http://www.ifnet.or.jp/%7Echisao/image/draw/sanzon/simotuji.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ifnet.or.jp/%7Echisao/image/draw/sanzon/sionjyou.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 138px; height: 169px;" src="http://www.ifnet.or.jp/%7Echisao/image/draw/sanzon/sionjyou.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-6904321476869424857?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/6904321476869424857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/6904321476869424857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2007/10/iwagumi.html' title='Iwagumi'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-116924961675774249</id><published>2007-01-19T23:28:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-01-19T23:33:36.770Z</updated><title type='text'>LIÇÃO ACERCA DE DISCUS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.tinkerfish.com/discus/images/discus.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.tinkerfish.com/discus/images/discus.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aqui esta um site que esclarece tudo acerca de discus, o peixe mais bonito para ter em aquario:&lt;br /&gt;http://www.tinkerfish.com/discus/discus-archives/2004/07/the_discus_is_a.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aqui esta um excerto deste site acerca deste fantástico peixe:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Discus Fish colors&lt;/h3&gt;                &lt;p&gt;There are 4 'real' discus variants, with their own Latin name.

Não pretendo ser dono da verdade, nem mudar conceitos, mas sim, colocá-los em discussão para que estes possam evoluir, como a tecnologia de iluminação tem evoluído.&lt;br /&gt;Quando se monta um aquário com plantas, uma das primeiras perguntas que se faz é: Qual a iluminação ideal ?&lt;br /&gt;A tecnologia de iluminação tem evoluído sempre, como já disse, e, com a escassez de energia alarmando o mundo de uma forma geral, a tendência é que evolua cada vez mais, nos brindando com lâmpadas que produzam cada vez mais luminosidade com um menor consumo de energia.&lt;br /&gt;Antes de começar, vou colocar alguns termos muito comuns quando se fala em iluminação. São eles:&lt;br /&gt;Potência Consumida: É a energia elétrica consumida por uma fonte luminosa medida em watts (W). Para fontes que funcionam com auxílio de equipamentos (transformadores e reatores), deve-se considerar a potência consumida pelos mesmos, somada à potência das lâmpadas.&lt;br /&gt;Índice de Reprodução de Cor: Refere-se à correspondência entre a cor real de um objeto ou superfície e sua aparência diante de uma fonte de luz. A luz artificial, como regra, deve permitir ao olho humano perceber as cores corretamente ou o mais próximo possível da luz natural. Lâmpadas com IRC igual a 100 apresentam as cores com total fidelidade e precisão. Quanto mais baixo o índice, mais deficiente é a reprodução das cores. Os índices variam conforme a natureza da luz e são indicados de acordo com o uso de cada ambiente&lt;br /&gt;Temperatura de Cor: Temperatura de Cor é a grandeza que expressa a aparência de cor da luz, sendo sua unidade o Kelvin (K). Quanto mais alta a temperatura de cor , mais branca é a cor da luz. A luz quente é que tem aparência de cor amarelada e a temperatura de cor baixa: (menor que 3000 K). A luz fria, ao contrário, tem aparência azul - violeta, com temperatura de cor elevada: (6000 K ou mais). A luz branca natural é aquela emitida pelo sol em céu aberto ao meio dia, cuja temperatura de cor é 5800 K.&lt;br /&gt;Fluxo Luminoso (lm): O fluxo luminoso é a quantidade de luz emitida por uma fonte de luz medida em lumens, na tensão nominal de funcionamento.&lt;br /&gt;Quando se fala em iluminação de aquários, costuma-se tomar por padrão a medida watts/litro.&lt;br /&gt;Mas, qual tipo de lâmpada devo usar ? Fluorescente compacta, fluorescente tubular, incandescente, vapor de mercúrio, vapor de sódio, halógena ...&lt;br /&gt;Se formos a uma loja, poderemos ver quantos tipos diferentes existem de lâmpadas hoje em dia, e vai se saber quantos mais existirão no futuro !&lt;br /&gt;Se observarmos os parâmetros mais importantes em uma lâmpada, veremos que a diferença reside quase que, exclusivamente, no preço.&lt;br /&gt;Mas quais são os parâmetros que devemos considerar ?&lt;br /&gt;O primeiro deles é a temperatura de cor. Devemos escolher aquelas lâmpadas que tenham a temperatura de cor o mais próximo possível da luz solar (5800 K), com um Índice de Reprodução de Cor (IRC) em torno de 100, pois assim não estaremos introduzindo cores que não existem no nosso aquário.&lt;br /&gt;O segundo parâmetro é o Fluxo Luminoso da lâmpada, pois quanto maior ele for, mais iluminado nosso aquário parecerá e menos lâmpadas utilizaremos.&lt;br /&gt;No final, coloco uma tabela comparativa desses parâmetros entre alguns tipos de lâmpadas mais facilmente encontradas no mercado.&lt;br /&gt;Mas aí chegamos no ponto crucial para aquários com plantas: quantas lâmpadas usar.&lt;br /&gt;O conceito mais comum é o de Watts/Litro, aceitando-se 0,5W/l como um bom parâmetro.&lt;br /&gt;Porém, a tabela mostra que essa relação é muito discutível, pois uma lâmpada fluorescente compacta de 20 W produz um fluxo luminoso menor que uma fluorescente tubular de 20 W. Estaríamos, então, desperdiçando a já cara e, cada vez mais rara, energia elétrica.&lt;br /&gt;Um parâmetro que é comum a todos os tipos de lâmpadas é o Fluxo Luminoso, colocado em lumens, e que a maioria das boas lâmpadas traz impresso na embalagem.&lt;br /&gt;Resta saber qual a relação ideal, em lm/l, para aquários com plantas.&lt;br /&gt;Aqui vou basear as conclusões em meu aquário, de 200 l (100x50x40 cm), com algumas plantas. Aproximadamente, tenho 155 litros reais de água.&lt;br /&gt;Utilizo 4 lâmpadas Osram fluorescentes tubular ‘Energy Saver’, do modelo L18/10, e quatro Osram Dulux S 9W/41-827, que são fluorescentes compactas, com reator externo.&lt;br /&gt;As principais características delas são:&lt;br /&gt;L18/10: 18 Watts, temperatura de cor de 6000K, 1050 lm.&lt;br /&gt;Dulux S: 9 Watts, temperatura de cor de 2700 K, 600 lm.&lt;br /&gt;Tenho, portanto, 108 Watts, ou 6600 lumens.&lt;br /&gt;Se eu fosse colocar essa quantidade de lumens com lâmpadas comuns, incandescentes, teria cerca de 4 lâmpadas de 100 W, ou, 400 W. Haja dinheiro para arcar com a conta de luz !&lt;br /&gt;No total, são 42,58 lm/l.&lt;br /&gt;Antes do racionamento, deixava essas lâmpadas ligadas por cerca de 8 horas diárias, das 12:00 às 20:00 horas. Após o estabelecimento das metas de consumo de energia, passei a utilizar somente as L18/10 ou seja, 27 lm/l.&lt;br /&gt;As plantas de meu aquário estão indo muito bem assim. Com um custo pequeno, se comparado às lâmpadas especiais para aquários, tenho tido resultados muito bons.&lt;br /&gt;As quatro L18/10, mais seus suportes, mais dois reatores eletrônicos me custaram cerca de R$ 50,00, que, dependendo da cidade, pode custar ainda menos.&lt;br /&gt;Devo considerar também que utilizo três tipos de fertilizantes líquidos: Tetra Flora Pride, FloraSan e o da Atlantis, que é colocado toda semana, na dosagem recomendada. O Tetra e o FloraSan são colocados em semanas alternadas.&lt;br /&gt;Mas apenas os fertilizantes não bastariam, se a iluminação fosse insuficiente.&lt;br /&gt;Algumas fotos de meu aquário podem ser vistas em &lt;a href="http://planeta.clix.pt/joaocb/" target="_blank"&gt;http://planeta.clix.pt/joaocb/&lt;/a&gt; , clicando em Marco Cipolla, na seção Aquários de Água Doce Tropical. Essas fotos já tem uns 4 meses, e as plantas já estão bem maiores, principalmente as samambaias !&lt;br /&gt;Espero, com isto, ter ajudado na solução das dúvidas daqueles que sempre perguntam: "Estou montando um aquário com plantas e preciso saber: qual lâmpada devo usar ?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TABELA COMPARATIVA DAS PRINCIPAIS CARACTERÍSTICAS DAS LÂMPADAS MAIS COMUMENTE ENCONTRADAS NO MERCADO&lt;br /&gt;Obs: As características podem variar conforme o fabricante, mas essas variações são pequenas. os dados colocados aqui foram tirados do site da Osram (www.osram.com.br) e da Philips (www.philips.com.br).&lt;br /&gt;Os dados da Aqua-Glo foram tirados da embalagem. Consulte sempre o site do fabricante da lâmpada para informações mais detalhadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;                                         A introdução de novos peixes no aquário&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não existe experiência mais desagradável para um aquarista do que chegar em uma loja, gostar de um peixe, escolhê-lo com todo o cuidado e vê-lo definhar e morrer em seu próprio aquário em uma semana.&lt;br /&gt;Esta é uma experiência da qual ninguém está livre. Afinal, muitas vezes, apesar de tomar-se todo o cuidado possível, perde-se um peixe ao mudá-lo de ambiente sem causas aparentes.&lt;br /&gt;Mas muita coisa pode ser feita pelo aquarista para evitar esta contrariedade.&lt;br /&gt;Em primeiro lugar, em se tratando de aquariofilia, não devemos tomar decisões por impulso, principalmente a compra de peixes. Lamentavelmente, este hábito é o responsável por grande parte dos erros cometidos.&lt;br /&gt;Ao pensar em adquirir uma determinada espécie de peixe, temos por obrigação verificar primeiramente se nosso aquário possui as mínimas condições para receber o novo habitante. Dados como temperatura da água, ph, dh e alimentação ideais são fundamentais para balizar a nossa decisão.&lt;br /&gt;Não se esqueça de verificar se existe compatibilidade entre o novo peixe e os que você já possui, se for o caso.&lt;br /&gt;Se as condições não forem ideais, na maioria das vezes temos de meios de providenciá-las. Nem que seja necessário montar um novo tanque. O importante é que todas as medidas sejam tomadas antes da compra para evitar os dissabores que a nossa precipitação certamente acarretará.&lt;br /&gt;Se todas as condições forem propícias á aquisição do novo espécime, chegou o momento da escolha.&lt;br /&gt;Não compre precipitadamente, visite preferencialmente mais de uma loja de sua confiança antes de escolher os exemplares.&lt;br /&gt;Evite escolher os peixes que estejam na loja há menos de uma semana. Desta forma você não se arrisca a adquirir exemplares que tenham sofrido danos irreversíveis no recente transporte. Além disso, este é um lapso de tempo razoável para adaptação do peixe ao novo ambiente da loja com a redução do stress, bem como para a verificação de sintomas de várias doenças.&lt;br /&gt;Escolha os exemplares mais espertos, coloridos, brilhantes e que estejam com as nadadeiras inteiras e abertas.&lt;br /&gt;Lembre-se que os peixes jovens adaptam-se mais facilmente aos novos ambientes.&lt;br /&gt;Observe a temperatura da água do tanque e, se possível, peça ao lojista que meça o ph da água a sua vista, na hora da compra. Isto geralmente evita surpresas. Certa vez perdi inexplicavelmente dois exemplares de acarás bandeira e só fui descobrir a causa depois, quando verifiquei que a água do tanque da loja possuía o ph excessivamente alcalino (8,0), enquanto que a do meu aquário era ligeiramente ácida (6,8).&lt;br /&gt;Verifica-se, nesse caso, que apesar das condições do meu aquário estarem francamente favoráveis a espécie, a causa do insucesso da compra foi o choque de ph. Certamente que isso não teria ocorrido se tais condições fossem conhecidas anteriormente.&lt;br /&gt;Partindo da premissa de que todas as diretrizes estejam atendidas, após a escolha do peixe, ainda dentro da loja, alguns pequenos cuidados ainda podem ser decisivos para adaptação do novo espécime no seu aquário.&lt;br /&gt;Primeiramente, mostre os exemplares que você deseja adquirir ainda dentro do tanque ao lojista encarregado da captura. Pode parecer um excesso de zelo, mas, com certeza, os peixes serão submetidos a um nível de stress menor do que seriam se você fosse escolhe-los após o início do manejo para a captura.&lt;br /&gt;Nesse momento, você não deve tirar os olhos do lojista, pois tudo o que for feito será de importância vital para o sucesso da compra. Primeiramente, observe se a água colocada no saco plástico de transporte foi retirada do tanque onde está o exemplar que você está comprando. Caso contrário, o seu novo peixe será submetido a um choque químico abrupto causado pela inevitável diferença de temperatura e ph existente entre as águas de tanques diferentes.&lt;br /&gt;Não permita também que o encarregado da captura faça movimentos excessivamente bruscos para a captura do peixe, pois, se isso ocorrer,o animal poderá entrar em pânico, além de ocorrerem consequências danosas, tais como, perda de escamas, cortes pelo corpo, nadadeiras rasgadas, além de traumatismos nos órgãos internos .&lt;br /&gt;Devemos ainda adotar algumas providências para o transporte do peixe local da compra até o nosso aquário. Em primeiro lugar, temos que avaliar o período de tempo necessário para o deslocamento. Normalmente, não teremos maiores problemas se esse tempo for inferior a três horas. Caso contrário, temos que solicitar do lojista que adote procedimentos especiais, como, por exemplo, a colocação de oxigênio puro dentro do saco de transporte antes de fechá-lo. A adoção desse simples cuidado, em condições normais, permite que a maioria das espécies possa ficar dentro do saco sem problemas por cerca de cinco horas.&lt;br /&gt;Devemos evitar exposição demasiada da embalagem plástica à luz e às variações de temperatura, que podem ser bastante significativas, considerando o pequeno volume de água. Conseguimos excelentes resultados utilizando uma bolsa térmica para o transporte dos peixes, pois, ao mesmo tempo, propiciamos o escurecimento do ambiente e evitamos a variação brusca de temperatura, além de proteger as embalagens contra maiores solavancos e traumas.&lt;br /&gt;Ao chegar em casa, finalmente, poderemos iniciar os preparativos para a colocação do peixe em nosso aquário. Preferencialmente, o novo peixe deve ser colocado em um aquário de quarentena, para evitarmos a propagação de alguma doença que pode estar sendo trazida pelo novo habitante. Caso isso não seja possível e você tenha que introduzir o novo espécime em seu aquário definitivo, não se tratando de filhotes, nem de matrizes reprodutoras, podemos providenciar um banho profilático dentro do próprio saco de transporte, utilizando-se de produtos de boa qualidade vendidos nas boas casas do ramo (no Brasil dispõe-se de excelente produto chamado Alcon Clean).&lt;br /&gt;Independente de adotarmos ou não o banho profilático, temos de colocar o saco plástico de transporte fechado dentro de nosso aquário. Após trinta minutos a temperatura já estará nivelada por igual, quando devemos abrir o saco e, gradualmente, introduzir água de nosso aquário dentro dele, obedecendo-se a pequenos intervalos de cinco minutos.&lt;br /&gt;Após quinze minutos aproximadamente já podemos capturar o peixe com uma rede e soltá-lo suavemente em nosso aquário, inutilizando a água que ficar retida dentro do saco plástico.&lt;br /&gt;A partir daí observa-se o comportamento do recém chegado, que, normalmente, apresenta uma certa timidez inicial. Caso a chegada do novo habitante cause muito alvoroço podemos apagar as luzes do aquário com o objetivo de acalmar os peixes e manter a atenção.&lt;br /&gt;Não se deve insistir em manter o novo peixe no seu aquário se forem observados ataques, perseguições insistentes ou brigas, pois esses são sinais inequívocos de incompatibilidades que não costumam cessar com o tempo, principalmente no caso dos ciclídeos.&lt;br /&gt;A rotina de alimentação deve ser mantida, sendo normal que alguns exemplares fiquem até alguns dias sem se alimentar em decorrência da mudança de habitat. Caso a inapetência se prorrogue por um tempo excessivamente longo, devemos consultar o lojista com a finalidade de saber qual alimentação estava sendo ministrada ao espécime até o momento da compra. Esta providência costuma solucionar a maioria dos problemas.&lt;br /&gt;As primeiras semanas são fundamentais para sabermos se a adaptação do peixe transcorreu com êxito.

It is carnivorous and creates an attractive green carpet in the foreground within a couple of months. Utricularia graminifolia may be difficult to start up but once it has gotten a firm grip in the aquarium, it offers a unique experience for the aquarist. The tiny trapping devices may inspire long discussions among family members and friends as carnivorous plants always stimulate people’s curiosity. &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2158/2793/1600/049b_aquascape.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2158/2793/320/049b_aquascape.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Utricularia graminifolia in its natural habitat on the edge of a shaded stream in southern Vietnam. The plant grows partly submerged and partly emerged among the leaf litter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Utricularia graminifolia belongs to the bladderwort family (Lentibulariaceae) and originates in SE Asia where it has been found in the southern China, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Laos and Vietnam. At those sites, it appears as amphibious swamp plant as well as totally submerged in springs and along small streams. Its natural habitat is often shaded and it rarely grows in full sunlight. It always grew in very soft water where we found it and we had severe difficulties keeping it alive during transportation. Fortunately, the plant that is being produced now is much sturdier and thus, more suitable for use in aquaria but it remains a plant for the specialist. Utricularia aurea is another bladderwort which occasionally is found in the shops but it looks completely different with a growth form similar to species of Ceratophyllum and Myriophyllum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Close-up of the trapping devices on Utricularia graminifolia that are used to catch crustaceans and ciliates. The animals contain nitrogen and phosphorous that can be used by the plant after the tissue has been dissolved by enzymes in the tiny traps. Photo by Oliver Knott.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bladderworts are all carnivorous plants and many of them are associated with water. The genus name “Utricularia” refers to the bladders (trapping devices) whereas the species name “graminifolia” refers to the grass-leaved leaves. The grass-leaved leaves are exactly what distinguish it from the other approximately 210 species of bladderworts that have been described so far. The tiny grass-leaved leaves form an imbricate structure of freshly green leaves, which normally covers the bladders that are formed on the rhizome and the midribs. It flowers when it grows emerged.&lt;br /&gt;However, what makes Utricularia graminifolia unique to the aquarist is the tiny 2 mm long bladders that in nature traps crustaceans and ciliates seeking shelter among leaves and rhizomes. The animals are digested by enzymes secreted by the into the bladders, and the released nutrients are subsequently taken up by the plant and used to support new growth. Utricularia graminifolia often grows in very nutrient poor environments and thus, it is a huge advantage to be able to explore alternative nutrient sources of particularly nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) by trapping nutritious animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, Utricularia graminifolia is used in aquascaping where it forms a green stream in the aquarium. The plant may also be used as ordinary foreground plant where it forms a continuous green carpet 6-8 week after planting. Photo by Oliver Knott.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tropica grows Utricularia graminifolia emergent and it is supplied on either stone wool or coir discs. When planted in the aquarium, the clod should be divided into 6 to 8 smaller pieces and planted with a distance of 5 cm in the foreground of the aquarium or on a slope in the aquascape. It is important to keep about 1 cm of the coir or stone wool in order to provide good anchoring of the plants. Using tweezers to insert the tiny blocks of plants makes the entire process of planting much easier. To begin with, Utricularia graminifolia should be offered relatively low light but after the initial 6-8 weeks, where after the plants have obtained a firm hold in the aquarium, the light may be increased. At this point in time, the tiny blocks have now been transformed into a continuous grass-like carpet and this is the time where PLANT NUTRITION liquid should be supplied in order to prevent iron and manganese deficiencies. Our experience with Utricularia graminifolia shows that it is doing best at a pH of 6.8 to 7.0 in water of 7-10 dKh hardness. Fertilization with CO2 is not required but if supplied, the growth is stimulated significantly. Although the commercially available variety is sturdier that the wild type, the initial phase after planting may prove critical since the Utricularia graminifolia is sensitive to environmental changes. Thus, make sure that the recommendations are followed and keep other fast-growing plants out of the new patches with Utricularia graminifolia until the plants are well established in the aquarium. Utricularia graminifolia is relatively fragile and thus, it should not be kept with fishes with burrowing behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/ragn4rok/UG3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/ragn4rok/UG3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/ragn4rok/UG2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/ragn4rok/UG2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/ragn4rok/UG1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a195/ragn4rok/UG1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; mais umas fotos de aquas que não quiz deixar de realçar:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2158/2793/1600/053h_foto.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="259" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2158/2793/320/053h_foto.0.jpg" width="320" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2158/2793/1600/29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2158/2793/320/29.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-115050309794749690?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/115050309794749690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/115050309794749690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2006/06/utricularia-graminifolia-aqua-journal.html' title='utricularia graminifolia (aqua journal)'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-114990134058012470</id><published>2006-06-10T01:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-06-10T02:02:20.596+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Co2??? O que é</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"&gt;Recentemente, com o auxílio da internet, e por ser uma novidade barata e fácil de fazer, o injetor caseiro de CO2 virou uma verdadeira coqueluche. Tem gente dizendo até que ele é "fundamental para quem quer ter plantas no aquário". Como resultado, tem muita gente usando-o sem ter a menor idéia de como realmente funciona, pra que serve, e qual a relação com os outros itens do aquário. Baseiam-se apenas no conceito simplista de que "o CO2 ajuda no crescimento das plantas" e saem usando. Parece que dá status dizer: "EU INJETO CO2", e todo mundo quer aprender a montar um injetor, até quem nem tem plantas naturais! Este artigo vai ensinar como montar o injetor caseiro (só precisa de umas poucas linhas para isso) mas, antes disso, vamos discutir a real necessidade de injeção de CO2 e em que situações ele é uma vantagem.&lt;br /&gt;Afinal o CO2 é necessário?A confusão já começa com a própria pergunta. Se você quer saber se o CO2 é necessário para ter plantas no aquário, a resposta é simples: SIM! O CO2 é um ítem fundamental para a fotossíntese das plantas, um processo onde elas pegam o CO2 e, com ajuda de luz e alguns outros nutrientes, transformam-no em açúcares, carbohidratos e outros compostos vitais, liberando oxigênio no final. Sem o CO2 as plantas são incapazes de realizarem este metabolismo normal e morrem rapidamente. Acontece que o CO2 é um composto que faz parte da nossa atmosfera (todo mundo já ouviu falar do "efeito estufa" que é causado pelo excesso de CO2 no ar), e além disso ele dissolve muito facilmente na água. Por isso toda água sempre tem algum teor de CO2 dissolvido nela. A pergunta correta então é: "Afinal é necessário INJEÇÂO EXTRA de CO2 para as plantas crescerem no aquário?" E a resposta para esta pergunta também é bastante simples: DEPENDE! :-)&lt;br /&gt;Como já dissemos, toda água tem um pouco de CO2 dissolvido nela, que vai ser usado pelas plantas para realizar fotossíntese. Mas, dependendo dos outros ítens da sua montagem, esta quantidade pode ou não ser suficiente para que as plantas realizem a fotossíntese a uma taxa mínima necessária para ficarem saudáveis e bonitas. Alguns ítens muito importantes são:&lt;br /&gt;Os níveis de pH, dureza e temperatura da água&lt;br /&gt;A quantidade e o tipo%&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Todas as plantas têm um ciclo em que durante as horas de luz usam o CO2 e liberam o oxigênio com um processo de fotossíntese. Durante as horas escuras, ocorre que as plantas usam o oxigênio e liberam o CO2 em um processo chamado de respiração. Na maioria dos aquários, o período da fotossíntese realiza-se entre 10 e 12 horas com luz, e as outras horas, sem luz para equilibrar os processos. Na natureza algumas plantas são situadas em lagoas abertas e grandes e recebem uma quantidade de luz forte e de longo período, outras são situadas em selvas e recebem quantidades de luz baixas. Cada variedade de planta tem suas próprias exigências, para melhores resultados no aquarismo estas exigências devem ser equilibradas A lâmpada fluorescente é um dos meios mais econômicos de estabelecer um spectrum largo de luz em uma quantidade adequada para a sobrevivência de plantas aquáticas. Adicionar Co2 as vezes se faz necessário para as plantas, mas nem sempre, alias alertamos que se o aquarista não obter iluminação e substrato adequado em seu aquário, não adiantará injetar Co2 para beneficiar as plantas, pois outras deficiências serão notadas por elas. As plantas alem de outros nutrientes, precisam de carbono que é derivado do Co2. O carbono, fósforo, potássio, ferro os demais nutrientes são essenciais para o desenvolvimento das plantas. Durante a fotossíntese Co2 é retirado e o Oxigênio liberado. Sem Co2 não existe fotossíntese e as plantas não assimilam os nutrientes citados. Na falta de Co2 dissolvido na água, algumas plantas retiram do Bicarbonato em processo chamado de Descalcificação Biogênica , provocando a elevação do Ph. Esta retirada das plantas de Carbonatos e Bicarbonatos, podem desequilibrar o controle de&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aquallun.com.br/ph.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt; Ph e Dh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt; Para que não haja muita perda de Co2 no aquário, devemos evitar Bombas de Ar com pedras porosa. A injeção de Co2 sem nenhum tipo de controle pode reduzir rapidamente o Ph da água em um nível incontrolavel. Obrigatoriamente o KH da água do aquário deve estar maior que 4o para que a variação do Ph não seja rápida e que possa ser controlado pelo aquarista. O Co2 funciona como mais um nutriente para que as plantas se desenvolvam. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Receita caseira de co2:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Podemos inserir Co2 de um modo caseiro. Para isso devemos adquirir uma garrafa de 1 litro de vidro, com uma tampa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Fure a tampa para passar uma mangueira fina e cole com silicone. Na outra extremidade da mangueirinha adicione uma pedra porosa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Adicione 800ml de água da torneira 100ml e de água mineral sem gás &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;1 xícara de açúcar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;1 ½ colher de sopa de fermento biológico. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Espere 1 hora para que o Co2 se forme para que possa injeta-lo, controle o Ph durante a injeção, não deixe que o Ph tenha variações maiores que 0.2 por dia. O problema deste sistema é que não podemos controlar o Co2 injetado e não temos um indicador automático de Ph, mas se o aquarista tomar cuidado, ou se não tiver peixes no aquário, tudo vai correr bem. Para que o sistema funcione ainda melhor, voce pode conectar a mangueirinha na entrada da mangueira de ar de sua bomba. Assim ao invés de bolhas de ar, poderá injetar diretamente Co2. O gás poderá se dissolver com mais facilidade na água e podemos aproveita-lo melhor. Temos outros sistemas que também pode ser utilizados para injeção de Co2 no aquário, mas o mais confiavel é a de Garrafa de Co2 Comprimido. Este Sistema é o melhor, o Kit acompanha redutores de pressão, manômetros, e o mais importante um controlador de Ph automático que através de uma válvula solenóide pode cortar a injeção quando atingir o Ph desejado, mas também o Sistema é o mais caro, cerca de 300 a 800 dólares. Vários são os fabricantes e o produto é importado.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-114990134058012470?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/114990134058012470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/114990134058012470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2006/06/co2-o-que.html' title='Co2???

Basicamente falamos aqui de rochas e troncos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;(Aquelas bugigangas de plástico ou barro também são “hardscape” mas eu recuso-me de falar delas.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A escolha de rochas e troncos para o aquário plantado é extremamente difícil no meu ver. Implica um conhecimento empírico da versatilidade de um elemento no ambiente de um aquário plantado. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Ou seja, uma rocha, por exemplo, em si pode ser extremamente bonita, mas dentro do aquário não iria funcionar como queremos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Outra função do “hardscape” que temos de ter em conta ao escolhê-lo, é o aspecto prático da sua interligação com as plantas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Muitas vezes escolhemos rochas ou tronco não só pelo seu valor decorativo, mas porque precisamos de esconder a parte inferior dos caules das nossas plantas do fundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um elemento decorativo não importa tanto como a interacção de todo o conjunto. Não faz sentido ir à rua e escolher as mais lindas rochas, porque as rochas entre si, sendo de diferentes tipos, nunca farão sentido num aquário plantado que recria uma situação natural.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No mesmo aquário não vou pôr dois tipos de pedra diferentes nem dois tipos de troncos diferentes. Se eu decido usar o “Hardscape” como ponto focal não posso destacar um tronco de um lado e uma pedra do outro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No meu caso arranjei (ou arranjaram-me) um tronco lindo e decidi que este tronco será o ponto focal do meu hardscape. Daí a posição do tronco no conjunto é fundamental.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Decidi complementar o conjunto com diversas pedras de xisto que irei arranjar em volta do tronco de forma aleatória e natural, mas de modo que sirvam também para separar dois tipos de substrato que eu quero usar, e para apontar algumas situações que irão equilibrar a disposição.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comecei por fazer alguns esboços. Quero agradecer ao Filipe (FAAO) uma preciosa ajuda que ele me deu ao limpar uns preconceitos que eu tive em relação a este tipo de montagem com uns bons conselhos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/esboco01.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Esboço 1&lt;/span&gt; – Ainda estou indeciso, não sei onde devo usar a areia branca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neste aquário vou usar areia branca principalmente para as minhas corydoras que gostam de ter um espaço que não esteja cheio de plantas. O aquário fica encostado a paredes do lado direito e por trás. Por isso vou usar areia branca à frente e do lado esquerdo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/esboco02.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Esboço 2&lt;/span&gt; – Não gosto do tronco aí.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O problema de esboços é que as proporções estão completamente erradas. Estes esboços servem apenas como um indicar de intenções.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/esboco03.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Esboço 3&lt;/span&gt; – Agora parece melhor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O tronco fica num lugar privilegiado enquanto as rochas são distribuídas ao longo de “linhas de força” que originam no tronco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um conceito muito importante na montagem de aquários é o da secção dourada. Não vou aprofundar muito este conceito mas deixo aqui um link para os mais curiosos investigarem: &lt;a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcs.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fib.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.mcs.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fib.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os pontos de maior importância estética são, segundo este conceito desalinhados do centro na proporção de 1,618 para 1. Isto parece ir contra a ideia de alinharmos o mais importante no centro, mas é verdade. O mesmo princípio é também usado na arte da fotografia e da pintura e também na arquitectura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/esboco04.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Esboço 4&lt;/span&gt; – Aplicação do número dourado à posição do tronco no “layout”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora quero ter uma ideia de como vou moldar o substrato. Ao introduzir relevo, eu consigo dar a noção de profundidade ao aquário.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/esboco05.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Esboço 5&lt;/span&gt; – Topografia aquática&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;”Softscape”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chamo “softscape” às plantas porque tem piada o termo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É importante escolher muito bem as plantas que se quer usar no seu aquário. Para isso é preciso conhecê-las em termos de necessidades, compatibilidades e crescimento. Para não facilitar, a maior parte das plantas que vemos nas lojas são criadas fora de água numa estufa com muita humidade relativa no ar, para evitar pragas de algas. Desta forma as plantas que compramos mudam de aspecto geral quando as colocamos no nosso tanque.&lt;br /&gt;A mesma planta também se comporta de modo diferente conforme a qualidade da água e da luz que temos. A minha &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;rotala&lt;/span&gt; pode não ter nada a ver com a &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;rotala&lt;/span&gt; do meu vizinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Escolher plantas é algo que só com muita experiência conseguimos fazer. Para este layout vou usar as plantas que já tive antes, introduzindo a &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Bacopa australis&lt;/span&gt; e a &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Rotala “green”&lt;/span&gt; para ver como elas se vão comportar.&lt;br /&gt;Apesar de eu já agora saber que o resultado final vai ter pouco a ver com os esboços, gosto no entanto de os fazer. Ajudam-me a pensar e às vezes a evitar disparates na montagem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/esboco06.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Esboço 6&lt;/span&gt; – A Flora&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vou usar na maior parte plantas que já conheço e das quais gosto:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Hemianthus callitrichoides “cuba”&lt;/span&gt; – Uma planta muito pequena e rasteira que fica a matar entre pedras. Vou usá-la sobre as pedras que fazem a separação entre os dois substratos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/esboco07.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Esboço 7&lt;/span&gt; – Um pormenor da separação entre o substrato e a areia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Glossostigma elatinoides&lt;/span&gt; – Cresce depressa e faz um belo tapete de fundo. Mas precisa de ser controlada. Já misturei glosso com eleocharis, mas não gostei. Vou usar apenas glosso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Cryptocoryne wendtti “My oya”&lt;/span&gt; e &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Cryptocoryne x willisii “lucens”&lt;/span&gt; – Duas plantas que conheço bem e das quais gosto muito. Uma é mais pequena e verde e a outra fica maior e acastanhada. Por sugestão do Filipe tenciono usá-las entre pedras em vez de as usar em matagal como antes o fazia. Acho que é uma excelente ideia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Nymphea lotus zenkeri&lt;/span&gt; – Deve ser a minha planta favorita. Costumo sempre pôr uma. Mas aqui ainda não sei exactamente onde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Bacopa australis&lt;/span&gt; e &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Rotala sp. “green”&lt;/span&gt; – Duas plantas que não conheço muito bem. Já tive a &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Rotala rotundifolia&lt;/span&gt; mas esta não conheço. Vou usá-las no fundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Blyxa japonica&lt;/span&gt; – Já tenho esta planta há algum tempo, mas no substrato que usei ela nunca ficou grande coisa. Estou curioso em relação a ela. Primeiro quero usá-la para tapar a parte inferior da rotala e depois logo se vê.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;”Livescape”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora mesmo para embirrar inventei a palavra “livescape” para dizer fauna.&lt;br /&gt;Mas na realidade a fauna num aquário plantado também tem um valor decorativo que quer ser conjugado com os restantes “Scapes”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais uma vez é necessário dar atenção às compatibilidades. No entanto aqui é ainda mais importante porque na fauna podem surgir mais problemas deste género. Ao escolher os peixes temos de pensar em termos práticos e aquilo que imediatamente se sugere num aquário plantado é uma forte equipa de limpeza. São eles que vão activa e naturalmente combater as algas no aquário e vão ajudar a processar detritos para facilitar o trabalho às bactérias do ciclo do azoto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decidi ainda que neste aquário vou usar apenas peixes muito pacíficos. Peixes que fazem Neons parecer hooligans. Gostava que alguns deles se pudessem reproduzir sem eu andar para lá e para cá com os ovos e os pais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/esboco08.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Esboço 8&lt;/span&gt; – A Equipa de Limpeza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Otocinclus sp.&lt;/span&gt; – Come algas que aparecem em mancha. É bom para limpar os vidros. E é tão pacifico que todos o ignoram. Nem Colisas em procriação se incomodam com eles. Há tantas espécies que são tão parecidas que não faço ideia quais tenho. Affinis, macrospilus..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Crossocheilus siamensis&lt;/span&gt; – O SAE (Siamese alge eater) é um dos poucos peixes que toca nas algas filamentosas. Mas é preciso ter muito cuidado para que ele não se habitue a comer a comida de ração dos outros peixes senão ele não limpa mais nada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Neritina natalensis&lt;/span&gt; – Um caracol genial que anda constantemente a limpar. Quando o pH sobe para cima dos 6,8 a Neritina tende a passear pala casa. São resistentes como tudo. Há quem diga que se aguentam em água salgada. Em água salobra ficam à vontade de certeza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Neocaridina denticulata&lt;/span&gt; – Não é tão voraz como a &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Caridina japónica&lt;/span&gt;, mas ao menos pode reproduzir-se sozinha e tende ajustar a população à comida disponível.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Corydoras pygmaeus&lt;/span&gt; – Mini-corys. Não passam dos dois centímetros e são divertidíssimas. Como bons detritívoros que são remexem o areão ajudando activamente no ciclo do azoto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/esboco09.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Esboço 9&lt;/span&gt; – Os peixes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para peixes ornamentais decidi ir para os arco-íris australianos. São pacíficos e pequeninos e muito coloridos. Além disso tem um comportamento social engraçado e podem reproduzir no tanque sem precisarmos de fazer nada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Iriatherina werneri&lt;/span&gt; – Tem uma boca tão pequena que é preciso esmigalhar os flocos. Alimenta-se também de microorganismos que flutuam na água. Podia fazer parte da equipa de limpeza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Pseudomugil gertrudae&lt;/span&gt; – Um arco-íris de olhos azuis. Muito bem disposto. Batem as barbatanas para chamar a atenção das fêmeas.&lt;br /&gt;_________________&lt;br /&gt;"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."&lt;br /&gt;Douglas Adams&lt;br /&gt;(1952 - 2001)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="gensmall"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="row1" valign="middle" width="150" align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="nav"&gt;&lt;a class="nav" href="http://www.aquariofilia.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41985&amp;sid=b16efc471c19250baf5f05a808795f37#top"&gt;Voltar acima&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

Contei-os com riscos no meu “clipboard” e senti-me um autêntico cientista. Juntei um filtro e um termóstato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enchi alguns garrafões de água do antigo aquário porque vou precisar dessa água para acelerar a formação de uma boa filtragem biológica no novo aquário, visto que não vou esperar muito para lá pôr os peixes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As plantas esperam todas nos garrafões. Depois vou ter de as preparar antes de as voltar a plantar. A Glosso vai dar um trabalhão…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem02.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;A base da aquariofilia&lt;/span&gt; – “Roofmate”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primeiro escolho o lugar em que fica o aquário, pois uma vez cheio não vou poder mexer-lhe. Coloco uma base de “roofmate”. É um isolante usado na construção, feito de esferovite de alta densidade. É bom porque isola o fundo do aquário a nível térmico e, mais importante, a nível de vibrações. Peixes são sensíveis e não lhes deve saber nada bem viver num móvel que vibra com o motor da bomba… Não sei. Imagino!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tirar o substrato e lavar o aquário é uma chatice enorme. Podem imaginar. Inclino o aquário sobre a banheira e dou-lhe com o chuveiro. Depois limpo-o com glassex e papel jornal e volto a passá-lo por água. No fim seco-o todo e vejo como está.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem03.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Aquário limpo&lt;/span&gt; – Fica bonito esse fundo preto, não fica?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O fundo é uma película preta de Vinyl colada ao vidro. Em alternativa podem usar cartolina e agrafá-la ao vidro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora é pegar no “Hardscape” (já sabemos o que quero dizer com isso), e imaginar como fica. Isso é para decidir onde vamos colocar a areia branca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem04.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Ensaio&lt;/span&gt; – Frente&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tinha umas capas de plástico que colei com fita para fazer uma barreira entre os dois substratos diferentes. Senão iriam misturar-se e isso dava uma grande confusão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem05.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Ensaio&lt;/span&gt; – Cima&lt;br /&gt;Desenhei no vidro da frente e na base os riscos que representam a linha de força segundo os princípios da secção dourada. (Expliquei isso antes.) Assim posso alinhar o tronco com estas linhas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do lado direito fica mais espaço do que antes. Ainda não o que fazer aí. Logo se vê.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem06.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;O aquecedor de substrato&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Então e porquê o uso de um aquecedor de substrato?&lt;br /&gt;Tenho uma teoria, mas não sei se resulta. É assim:&lt;br /&gt;a) Raízes precisam de oxigenação. Se o substrato for muito compacto (areia) ou muito alto, é possível que a água que está no fundo do tanque não se renove com tanta facilidade. A água perde o oxigénio e as raízes “sufocam”. As plantas crescem mal, nada ou morrem.&lt;br /&gt;b) Ar quente sobe. Presumo que água quente faça o mesmo. E se eu aqueço a água que fica no fundo do tanque (nem que seja só um pouco), ela sobe sendo substituída por água mais fria. Assim a água que fica junto das raízes está sempre em movimento e as raízes estão sempre oxigenadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acho que isto está tudo certo. Não sei é se na prática isso faz alguma diferença. Por isso vou experimentar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem07.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;ADA Powersand&lt;/span&gt; – Essa porcaria custa os olhos da cara. Aconselho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda tinha Powersand que me sobrou da primeira montagem há um ano. E mesmo assim ainda me sobrou. Não se deve pôr muito. Isto é uma excelente mistura de nutrientes que ajuda o aquário a arrancar. Além disso é muito poroso e favorece a instalação de bactérias nitrificantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem08.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Aquasoil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu sei que é um substrato caro, mas não tenho carro e não fumo, por isso não me chateiem. Acho que é do melhor que há por aí. Ainda por cima faz um buffer ao pH aí pelos 6,5. É óptimo para o que eu quero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem09.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Areia de Sílica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Areia de sílica não altera o pH da água. Não é calcária, é muito branca e é usada no fabrico de vidro. Vinda de lá, já vem lavada e tudo. Não é preciso passar por água e é fininha e muito branquinha. É isso mesmo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem10.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;H2O x 5cm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Hardscape:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem11.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Tenho este tronco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como o tronco veio do aquário existente ele não precisa de nenhum tratamento. Tinha atado algum musgo deste tipo: &lt;a class="postlink" href="http://www.tropica.com/catalog/images/productcard/varenr003N_large.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.tropica.com/catalog/images/productcard/varenr003N_large.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esse musgo agarrou. Nas mudanças tive de ter cuidado para o musgo não secar. Alguém sabe alguma coisa sobre este musgo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem12.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Tenho estas pedras&lt;/span&gt; Aquelas que vieram do aquário anterior não levaram nenhum cuidado especial. As novas eu cozi em água durante dez minutos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pronto. O pior já está. Agora vem o pior. É separar e plantar as verduras. Por enquanto juntei uns 5cm de água ao aquário. É tarde e vou dormir. Amanhã preparo as plantas. Acho que posso deixar tudo assim. (Espero.)&lt;br /&gt;_________________&lt;br /&gt;"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."&lt;br /&gt;Douglas Adams&lt;br /&gt;(1952 - 2001)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="gensmall"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Editado pela última vez por Marc em Dom Abr 16, 2006 10:03 pm, num total de 2 vezes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="row2" valign="middle" width="150" align="left"&gt;&lt;span class="nav"&gt;&lt;a class="nav" href="http://www.aquariofilia.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41985&amp;amp;sid=b16efc471c19250baf5f05a808795f37#top"&gt;Voltar acima&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

Este facto traz a meu ver duas consequências que podem ser desagradáveis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a) Com poucas plantas o aquário acabado de montar não vai parecer grande coisa. Já que estou a escrever isto tudo queria que o resultado fosse mais mediático. No entanto, se tudo corresse bem, não iriam aprender nada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;b) O substrato que uso é potente e tendo poucas plantas tenho de ter muito, muito cuidado com os níveis de nitratos. Nas primeiras semanas o substrato liberta uma considerável quantidade de nutrientes. Se não houver plantas para absorver esses nutrientes tenho de compensar com muitas TPA’s. Os camarões são particularmente sensíveis a níveis elevados de substratos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primeiro tive de tratar das plantas todas. Separar as algas e o material vegetal morto. Assim as poucas plantas ficaram menos ainda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem13.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Glossostigma elatinoides&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; É só corta-la assim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem14.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Hemianthus callitrichoides “cuba”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta planta é uma chatice de plantar. É preciso enterrá-la bem de modo que ela não se solte. Na foto dá para perceber como ela cresce. É uma planta linda, mas esta está escurecida pelas más condições no anterior aquário. Creio que esta planta depende bastante de alimentos absorvidos pelas raízes. Há um artigo muito interessante sobre a Hemianthus no site da trópica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem15.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Cryptocoryne x willisii “lucens”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Cryptocoryne x willisii “lucens”&lt;/span&gt; e &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Cryptocoryne wendtti “My oya”&lt;/span&gt; levam uma poda nas raízes antes de as plantar. Estas plantas têm uma particularidade que é importante notar nesta altura. Quando são plantadas num aquário com condições diferentes da água elas sofrem de um sintoma chamado “Cryptocoryne melt”. Este consiste de literal derretimento de parte ou de todas as suas folhas. Esta pasta de folhas derretidas deve ser removida do aquário, mas os cotos das plantas não, pois não estão mortos. Em poucos dias verão novas folhas já adaptadas as novas condições da água.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem17.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Bacopa australis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta planta não perde as folhas da parte de baixo do caule. Pelo que entendi, ela forma um tufo agradável de um verde claro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem18.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Rotala sp. “green”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Rotala&lt;/span&gt; pode ficar esplêndida desde que seja bem podada com cuidado e experiência. Ao plantá-la convêm deixar os caules mais juntos no centro do conjunto e mais afastados na periferia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem19.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Blyxa japonica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coitada da &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;blyxa&lt;/span&gt;. Vemos claramente pela coloração das raízes que a planta passou um mau bocado. Em boas condições de luz a folhas ficam ligeiramente avermelhadas. Vai demorar um bocado até a planta crescer como eu quero. Até lá muita parte do aquário vai parecer despido. Já agora Quero agradecer ao Rui Alex Pedro a bondade de me ter oferecido esta planta. Rui, lamento não ter cuidado muito bem dela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem20.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;Nymphea lotus zenkeri&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aqui nota-se que a falta de micro-nutrientes provocaram o nascimento de folhas torcidas e com buracos. Desta feita espero que ela floresça bem. Bem cuidada é realmente uma planta fenomenal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem21.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Minha oficina improvisada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tive a ver um filme e meio na televisão enquanto fui tratando das plantas sentado no sofá com uma mesa improvisada a minha frente. Esta parte foi um bocado chata, mas é absolutamente necessário usarmos plantas cuidadosamente preparadas antes de iniciarmos o trabalho de planta-las no aquário.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem16.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Tudo pronto&lt;/span&gt; – Plantas limpas e separadas, prontas para plantas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora chegou o magnifico culminar de todo o trabalho que até agora se tem desenvolvido. Está na altura de juntar tudo no aquário. Tão grande foi o labor e a expectativa associada a ele, que no final fiquei um bocado desapontado como o resultado. Não sei bem o que esperava, mas suponho que a parca existência das plantas não ajude muito. Mas estou a adiantar-me. Vamos por partes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Infelizmente as fotos que tirei da montagem do hardscape saíram bastante desfocadas. Tive de as tirar sem tripé visto de cima e tremi. Tenho pena.&lt;br /&gt;Assim como as fotos de como plantei a glosso, elas também saíram mal. Já estava cansado suponho. E não ajuda ter estado sozinho. Mas nestas coisas prefiro fazer tudo ao meu próprio ritmo. É muito importante não apressar as coisas o que geralmente acontece quando não estamos sós.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem22.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Hardscape&lt;/span&gt; – Nesta foto já tenho alguma glosso e hemianthus plantado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Demorei a fazer o Hardscape. Nesta fase é natural que se experimente diversas posições de rochas e troncos. Lembramo-nos que o aquário deve ficar assim durante bastante tempo. Ajuda muito nesta fase pensar nas plantas. Ao colocar as pedras já fui criando nichos para as plantas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma condicionante era a divisão de substratos. Já tive um aquário sem divisão entre os tipos de substrato e foi um crasso erro. É muito difícil mantê-los separados. Por isso, desta vez usei as rochas para separar fisicamente os dois tipos de substrato. Antes tirei cuidadosamente o plástico que usei como divisória. Imagino aqui que o movimento natural do solo expôs 3 estratos diferentes. O inferior é a areia branca mais fina, depois as rochas de xisto que tentei dispor de modo a sugerir que foram expostas durante um violento terramoto. O substrato da ADA representa o solo superior que se abriu para expor o seu ventre. As chuvas nas montanhas desaguam pela ruptura na crosta e forma um riacho ou mesmo um lago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ao compormos um “layout” natural temos de ter em conta os efeitos dos processos naturais da erosão dos terrenos. Para isso é preciso ficar atento ao mundo em nosso redor. Mas temos de olhar para pormenores. A maneira como certas plantas crescem junto ao tronco de árvores ou entre rochas e o modo como as rochas aparecem naturalmente semienterradas devido a erosão da chuva e do vento. Além disso é considerável o efeito terapêutico de combate a pressão da sociedade, que a contemplação da Natureza traz consigo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem23.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Enchendo e plantando&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fui enchendo o aquário a medida da altura das plantas que fui plantando. Primeiro a glosso e a hemianthus, como se vê na última foto. Tentei plantar a hemianthus da maneira como tinha previsto, e espero que ela cresça bem. Vou precisar de muito disso. Mais tarde gostaria de interromper essa suspeita fileira desta planta com apontamentos de outras plantas. Neste momento estou a planear una apontamentos especiais usando as cryps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem26.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;O Esquema montado&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geralmente uso um Balde vermelho com embutidos de peixes, por cima do aquário com um tubinho que por gravidade vai enchendo o aquário muito devagarinho sem lavantar muita poeira. De vez em quando uso um tupperware para “re-encher” o balde. Enquanto o nível da água no aquário sobe eu vou plantando as plantas que correspondem ao nível a que está a água.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem24.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Plantar a Blyxa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem25.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Vista de cima&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://pwp.netcabo.pt/chez-nous/aquariofilia/aqua4/montagem27.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Plantando Rotala&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26665333-114983756149059029?l=aquahobbie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/114983756149059029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26665333/posts/default/114983756149059029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aquahobbie.blogspot.com/2006/06/hardscape-explicao.html' title='Hardscape explicação'/><author><name>João Madeira</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-75iBBHGjNWw/TqSTKIINymI/AAAAAAAAAII/NnC6WhQ7tBs/s220/LEAO.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26665333.post-114925751909989102</id><published>2006-06-02T15:09:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2006-06-09T08:17:04.053+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Camada godurosa superficial no aqua</title><content type='html'>Boas, li num forum informação a cerca deste problema que acontece principalmente em aquas abertos por cima e sem movimentação da agua.&lt;br /&gt;Aqui esta este texto explicativo:&lt;br /&gt;A camada gordurosa superficial que temos no nosso aquário tem sido alvo de especulações diversas mas inconclusivas. Alguns aquários formam esta “camada gordurosa” enquanto outros não, e ninguém sabe qual é a sua origem nem como nos podemos livrar dela. Geralmente associamos este fenómeno ao tipo de comida que usamos, a tanques plantados com injecção de CO2 e superfície da água muito parada. Eu próprio tenho uma camada destas no meu aquário e este facto levou-me a querer saber mais. Uma pesquisa na Internet reforçou a minha opinião de que esta camada na aquariofilia não é suficientemente compreendida e encontrei muita informação inútil ou dúbia. Aquilo que aprendi é o que se segue.&lt;br /&gt;Na realidade, devido à tensão superficial, a superfície do nosso aquário é, quando não é muito movimentada, um nicho ecológico particularmente privilegiado em termos de trocas gasosas - oxigénio atmosférico e dióxido de carbono. Bactérias, algas, fungos e protozoários constituem neste ambiente um habitat até cem vezes mais rico em organismos vivos do que o resto da coluna de água, formando assim o neuston. Alguns autores reconhecem a existência de um verdadeiro ecossistema neustónico e uma neustonosfera. Muitos organismos existentes nesta camada neustónica passam aí todo o seu ciclo de vida. Algumas bactérias e algas até desenvolvem capacidade fotossintética (cianobactérias por exemplo – embora sejam invisíveis a olho nu). Outros organismos assumem uma coloração intensa (vulgarmente azulada ou esverdeada) para os proteger em relação às radiações ultravioletas letais. Por isso notamos aquela coloração oleosa na superfície do aquário. Em espaços abertos podemos verificar que até alguns insectos como alfaiates fazem parte deste nicho ecológico que se alimenta de matéria orgânica superficial. Sendo o neuston uma zona bastante rica em nutrientes não é estranho ver um Otocinclus ou mesmo um Crossocheilus siamensis de barriga para o ar, alimentando-se desta camada. Há outros peixes que encontram neste meio a sua alimentação equilibrada, como por exemplos as Mollys e os Guppys. Estes peixes são recomendados a quem quer manter esta camada sob controlo. Não sabemos ao certo porque esta camada aparece em alguns aquários e em outros não. Não conhecemos nenhuma relação entre o aparecimento desta camada e o substrato, o tipo ou a quantidade de plantas ou animais, a fertilização, a temperatura, o pH ou o kH (embora não queira excluir que exista alguma). Mas posso dizer que se trata de um fenómeno natural – apesar da coloração oleosa suspeita. Matéria orgânica, proteínas de alimento de peixe e fertilizantes não absorvidos pelas plantas constituem a base nutricional para a criação desta camada viva de organismos microscópicos. Se é natural, qual é o problema? Não causa dano nenhum, o máximo que pode fazer é cortar um pouco a luz que chega as plantas. Mas eu não gosto! Não gosto porque não me deram opção. Então como é que me livro desta camada superficial? a) Não livras. Aprende a viver com isso. Por mais que façamos essa camada volta sempre. Mais vale montar um novo aquário. De preferência com Ciclídeos Africanos. b) Nas TPAs (Trocas Parciais de Água) tirar primeiro a camada de cima com um copo ou uma garrafa cortada. Eu faço isso quando estou com pachorra, mas 2 dias mais tarde está tudo na mesma. Já me aconselharam passar um guardanapo ou uma folha de jornal pela superfície do aquário, mas não acho que resulte muito bem. c) Criar uma movimentação constante na superfície da água. Deste modo evitamos que a superfície apareça, mas ficamos com outros problemas. O CO2 escapa para a atmosfera com muito mais facilidade do que com a superfície parada e deste modo acabamos por gastar mais CO2. Algumas pessoas também se podem irritar com o barulho constante do cair da água. Como tenho a luz do aquário apagada quando estou no trabalho, levanto a entrada da água no aquário de modo a criar a tal turbulência à tona da água. Deste modo também crio oxigenação nas horas sem luz o que é bom, mas por outro lado tenho de me lembrar disso todos os dias. d) Há quem compre um escumador de superfície. Esta é a solução de cromo. É mais custosa, mas resolve o problema de certeza. Acho que a EHEIM comercializa uma peça que se adapta à saída para o filtro que suga água da superfície do aquário, mas não tenho a certeza. Um amigo construiu um mini filtro de superfície com uma bomba, um tubo e lã de vidro. Essa bomba espalha ao mesmo tempo o CO2, mas está sempre a entupir e não é a solução ideal. e) Geralmente aconselha-se Black Mollys porque de todos os peixes são os mais eficazes a comer a camada de neuston. Bastam dois peixes num aquário de 120 litros para nunca mais haver problemas com esta camada superficial. Mas nem toda a gente quer meter uns vivíparos no seu aquário.&lt;br /&gt;Em conclusão quero alertar que esta camada não é apenas influenciada pelo ecossistema interno do aquário com filtro, mas também pela atmosfera da própria casa em que temos o aquário. Certos ambientadores contêm terpenes (hidrocarbonetos) que reagem com o ozono e ajudam a criar essa camada no aquário. Óleo e fumo de aquecimentos e da cozinha também podem ser uma causa possível da formação desta camada no nosso aquário. E o tabaco! Não tenho experiência própria mas aposto que não é bom fumar-se ao pé de um aquário aberto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alguns links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="postlink" href="http://www.astrosurf.com/re/aula08_em_ecologia_zooplancton.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.astrosurf.com/re/aula08_em_ecologia_zooplancton.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
