前天带了一只网球鱼( Chilodus punctatus ) 回家
这鱼是我有生以来见过泳姿最奇怪的鱼种
身体永远维持在头下尾上接近垂直倒立的姿势
也不太活泼
观察牠时,视觉焦点永远是落在牠的鳃盖而不是其美丽的外表
从带回家到现在 都还没见过牠张口进食
牠都固定待在水的下层
但无论我投干燥红虫 丰年虾 灯鱼饲料
沉底饲料 牠都毫无反应
拜google大神之后,在fish channel 看到如下的叙述:
These are very peaceful fish, with a very small mouth,
which is the major problem in getting them to thrive in an aquarium.
They require very small, preferable live or frozen foods;
they will virtually never take any regular dry prepared foods.
Unless you are prepared to give them the foods that they
require, you really should not purchase this fish.
This also is a problem with the Spotted Headstander in local fish stores.
Unless the store is very competent and pays a lot of attention to their fish, and they have gotten
their Spotted Headstanders from a distributor who also makes sure they are
well fed, many of the Spotted Headstanders you see offered for sale are well
on their way to starving to death.
If you do want to purchase some it is best
to have the store feed them in your presence, so you can be sure that they
are eating. .
大意是说此鱼很容易一直都不进食 然后默默的饿死
水管里头贩卖的个体也很可能已长期处于未进食的状态
我之前养的一只眼班飞船在混养缸中也是什么饵料都不吃
好几周后也是默默在缸中蒸发
想请教一下之前养过这种非常有名的鱼的大大
是喂什么饵料让牠开口的?
