Los Iintlanzi ze-boquichico, ngokwenzululwazi eyaziwa ngokuba Iiprochilodus nigricans, yenye yezona ntlobo zeempawu zeAmazon yasePeru. Ayizizo kuphela iintlanzi ezininzi kulo mmandla, kodwa kunye nokutya okuphambili kwabemi bayo. Le ntlanzi ixhaphake kakhulu kumachibi aseAmazonian, apho ifumana indawo yokusabela kunye ukutya likhulu.
Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo zentlanzi ye-boquichico
I-Boquichicos ziintlanzi ezinobungakanani obuphakathi ezinokulinganisa ukuya Iisentimitha ezingama-45 ubude kwisigaba sakhe sobudala. Umzimba wayo mde kwaye unombala wesilivere, uhamba kunye iibhanti zelongitudinal emnyama ezihombisa izikali zabo.

Ukutya kwe-Boquichico
Olu hlobo luphuhlise ukulungelelaniswa okungaqhelekanga kwindawo yalo, luhlelwa njenge Intlanzi ye-iliophagus.

Iphinde itye kwi-periphyton, equka i-algae eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka kunye ne-diatoms, ii-crustaceans ezincinci kunye ne-mollusks. Oku kutya kwahlukahlukeneyo kwenza ukuba i<em>boquichico igqalwe njengentlanzi omnivore.
Ukuzala kunye nomjikelo wobomi
Umjikelo wokuzala we-boquichico wenzeka ngexesha lemvula, ngokubanzi phakathi kweenyanga ze NgoNovemba noJanuwari. Ngeli xesha, ngokuhambelana nokunyuka kwamanqanaba amanzi kwimilambo yase-Amazon, amabhinqa anokuvelisa ukuya kuthi ga Amaqanda ama-100,000 kunyaka wakhe wokuqala. Ngaphaya koko, bafikelela ekukhuleni ngokwesondo xa belinganisa malunga Isentimitha ezingama-24,3 kwimeko yabasetyhini, kwaye Isentimitha ezingama-23,4 kwimeko yamadoda.
Inkathalo ekuthinjweni
Ukuba uceba ukugcina i-boquichico kwi-aquarium yakho, kufuneka uthathele ingqalelo izinto ezithile ezibalulekileyo. Okokuqala, ubungakanani be-aquarium kufuneka ibe nkulu ngokwaneleyo ngenxa yobude bayo obunokubakho Isentimitha ezingama-45. Ukongeza, le ntlanzi ifuna ubushushu bamanzi ukuba oscillate phakathi 25 kunye 32 degrees Celsius, exelisa iimeko zendalo zaseAmazon.
Isiphakamiso esibalulekileyo kukukhetha i-polycultures xa ukhulisa i-boquichicos, ukudibanisa nezinye iintlobo ezihambelanayo ze-Amazonian, ezifana pacos kunye iigamitana. Le ndlela ayinanzuzo kuphela kwimpilo yakho, kodwa inegalelo ekusebenzeni kakuhle ekulawuleni zixhobo ngaphakathi kwi-aquarium.
