Opis

Одржавање и нега, уређење акваријума

The optimal size of an aquarium for a flock of 10 fish starts from 60–70 liters. It is recommended to keep in an aquarium with dense aquatic vegetation. In the design, it is preferable to use a dark substrate and clusters of floating plants. Around the latter, fish like to gather near the surface.

Additional decorative elements can be natural snags and leaves of some trees. They will become not only part of the design, but will serve as a means of giving water a chemical composition similar to that in which fish live in nature, due to the release of tannins in the process of decomposition of plant organic matter.

Successful long-term keeping of Nannostomus uniband depends on maintaining stable water conditions within an acceptable range of temperatures and hydrochemical values. To achieve this goal, regular cleaning of the aquarium and weekly replacement of part of the water (15–20% of the volume) with fresh water are carried out. The minimum list of equipment consists of filters, a heater and a lighting system.

Понашање и компатибилност

Болести риба

Болести својствене овој одређеној врсти риба нису забележене. Када се држе у одговарајућим условима (висок квалитет воде, уравнотежена исхрана, неконфликтни суседи, итд.), здравствени проблеми се не примећују. Најчешћи узрок болести је погоршање стања које доводи до супресије имунитета, што чини рибу подложном инфекцијама које су увек присутне у околини. Када се открију први знаци болести (летаргија, исцрпљеност, одбијање хране, спуштена пераја итд.), Неопходно је одмах проверити главне параметре воде. Често обнављање прихватљивих животних услова доприноси самоизлечењу, али ако је риба преслаба или је добила очигледну штету, биће потребан медицински третман.
