Iʻa iʻa iʻa ʻO ia kekahi iʻa i kaulana loa ma ka honua. ʻIke ʻia no kāna mau koholā ʻano like me nā pōpoki. ʻIke ʻia ʻo ia he pōpoki a loaʻa lākou i ka nui ma ke kai a ma ka muliwai. Pili ia i ke kauoha o ka Silurifiormes a me ka ʻohana Pimelodiadae. I kēia hui he iʻa momona nui, me ka momona nui a, no laila, me ka ʻiʻo.
I kēia ʻatikala e wehewehe pono mākou i kēia iʻa a me nā ʻano hana āpau i loaʻa iā lākou i nā aquarium. Makemake ʻoe e ʻike hou e pili ana i ka iʻa? E hoʻomau i ka heluhelu 🙂
ʻO
Nā kuhikuhi nui
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā iʻa iʻa i loaʻa i ke kauoha Siluriformes. Kāhea ʻia lākou he iʻa lawaiʻa no ka mea he ʻumi lākou i hana ʻia i nā tentacles i ko lākou waha e like me nā koholā o nā pōpoki. ʻO kēia mau kohō Kapa ʻia lākou he mau barela filament. Aia kekahi mau iʻa i loaʻa iā lākou ma lalo o ka waha a i ʻole i ka ihu ponoʻī. E like me nā pōpoki, hoʻohana ʻia kēia mau filament ma ke ʻano he sensory, e ʻimi maʻalahi i ka meaʻai a lākou e hoʻopau ai.
Aia ma ko lākou kino he spine ʻoiʻoi, retractable ma mua o kā lākou dorsal a me ka pectoral fin. He mea maikaʻi loa kēia mau spine i nā kaiaolaola kūlohelohe ke hoʻouka ʻia lākou e kekahi ʻano predator. Hoʻohui ʻia, i loko o nā lagoons o kēia mau spines he mau ʻawahia ʻino lākou i hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻopili i kā lākou mea pio. Kaukaʻi ʻia i ka laha o ka iʻa lipi a mākou e ʻike nei, ʻaʻole a loaʻa ʻole paha iā lākou kēia mau kui. Ma loko o ka loli ʻana o kēia ʻano, ua nalowale nā ʻōiwi.
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona kūikawā o ka iʻa iʻa i loaʻa iā ia he ʻili paʻakikī loa a ʻaʻohe unahi unahi. Aia kekahi mau pūʻulu i loaʻa nā pā dermal e lawelawe i ke ʻano pale kaua e pale aku ai i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻia e nā mea ʻino. Ua ulu a pale kēia pale kaua i nā unahi.
Aia i ka laha hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa i kekahi mau nui ʻokoʻa e hele mai 50 kenimika a 2 mika i ka lōʻihi. Hiki iā ia ke lilo i nui loa. Ma ke ʻano o ke kaupaona, ʻike mākou ma waena o 5 a me 200 kilokilo.ʻO ka iʻa nui loa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loaʻa ana o 3 mika i ka loa a me 250 kilo i ke kaupaona.
Laulā a me kahi e noho ai
ʻIke ʻia kēia ʻano ma ke kai Caribbean a me ka Moana ʻAkelanika. He mea maʻamau ka ʻike ʻana iā lākou i loko ke Kai Kūʻono ʻo Mekiko a me nā mokuʻāina ʻē aʻe.
ʻO kona wahi kūlohelohe i kaupalena ʻia i nā tropika a me nā subtropics. Ma kahi e nui ai lākou kokoke i nā wahi o ka wai hou a me nā kahawai ikaika. Inā i loko o ka muliwai a i ʻole i loko o ke kai, ʻaʻole noho maʻamau ia i nā wahi hohonu loa, akā me nā mea kanu he nui e hūnā mai nā mea hōkai mai iā ia.
Hana a me ka hānai ʻana
He iʻa maluhia kūpono kēia. Eia nō naʻe, ke hoʻoweliweli ʻia hiki ke hoʻokuʻu i kahi lāʻau make i mālama ʻia i nā iwi o kāna ʻiʻo. Aia ka nui o ka lāʻau make i ke ʻano o nā laha.
ʻO ka predator nui loa o kā ka iʻa hihi, ʻo ia nā kānaka. ʻO kāna hoʻoweliweli nui loa ka lawaiʻa mau ʻana o kēia specimen no kāna ʻiʻo. E pili ana i kona hiki ke ʻimi holoholona, he mea ʻimi manuahi loa kēia i hiki ke mālama iā ia iho me ka hana ʻole.
Hoʻololi kā lākou papaʻai inā ko lākou wahi maoli a kahawai a kai paha. Kali ka poʻe e noho ana i ka wai e lawe i kā lākou mea ʻai. No laila, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e noʻonoʻo iā ia iho he alualu ʻiʻo nui, akā he mea loaʻa ka manawa. Loaʻa ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe me ka poʻe e noho ana i ke kai. ʻO kā lākou mau mea i makemake nui ʻia kahi iʻa i ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o lākou a me nā crustacean.
Hānau hou ʻana i ka iʻa 
Ke hiki i kahi lōʻihi o 25 cm, manaʻo ʻia ua hiki i ka moekolohe ʻana. Hoʻomaka ka hana hoʻohua ke hoʻokokoke mai ka puna a piʻi aʻe ka mahana. ʻO kāna mea hoʻomomona kūwaho. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, hoʻomoe wale nā wahine i kā lākou mau hua i hoʻokahi manawa wale nō i ka makahiki. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i nā iʻa kāne ke hoʻomomona i nā wahine.
Inā makemake mākou e hoʻomaka ka hana hou i loko o kahi pahu iʻa, he mea nui e mālama i ka mahana ma kahi o 20 kekelē. Pono e hoʻohālikelike ʻia nā kūlana o ko lākou nohona kūlohelohe a me ka hiki. Ma ka lima ʻē aʻe, ka manawa kēlā lawe nā hua i ka popo ma kahi o 8 mau lā.
Nui ka makemake o ka ʻiʻo Catfish ma muli o ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe a me ke kumukūʻai. He nui ka nui o nā protein a me kahi ʻono nani.
Mālama pio
Ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi iʻa iʻa no kāu aquarium, he mea nui ia e ʻike i kāna moʻomeheu e hoʻomākaukau i ka aquarium i kekahi ala a i ʻole kekahi. E hoʻomanaʻo i kēlā me kēia ʻano ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa loa. No laila, ʻo ka morphology ʻelua o loko, e like me ka pahu iʻa, Pono lākou e kūlike me nā ʻano iʻa iʻa a mākou e hoʻolauna ai.
ʻO ka hapa nui o lākou pono i nā lāʻau a me nā mea pono ʻē aʻe hiki ke hūnā. Koi aku kekahi mau laha i ke kukui.
E pili ana i ka meaʻai, pono ʻoe e ʻike he aha ia a pehea e hānai ʻia ai ma mua, he mau holoholona kekahi, a ʻo nā mea lāʻau ʻē aʻe a he nui hoʻi e pau i nā ʻano meaʻai (omnivores). Kū i mua o kēia kūlana hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa i nā hale kūʻai aquarium he nui ʻai iʻa iʻa iʻa kaulike a kūpono loa ia no ka mālama ʻana i ka iʻa.
No ka lalo o ka aquarium koi ʻia e loaʻa kahi hanana maikaʻi i hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi i ka lalo. Pono mākou e hoʻomanaʻo i kēia mau iʻa ke lilo i ka hapa nui o ko lākou manawa ma ka lalo o ka aquarium a, inā mākou e kau ʻāpana gravel maikaʻi, e hoʻomaʻa maikaʻi lākou a pale ʻia nā tentacles mai ka ʻeha ʻana.
Pono ka wai e hoʻomaʻemaʻe a me ka oxygenation maikaʻi. No kēia, maikaʻi ke ʻōnaehana kānana inā makemake mākou e hōʻoia i kona ola.
ʻIke iʻa iʻa iʻa
He ʻano ʻokoʻa kā kēia iʻa o ke kamaʻilio pū ʻana me kekahi. Hana lākou i nā leo ʻano ʻē i kapa ʻia stridulation. I nā aquarium, hoʻohana ʻia ia hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā kālā ʻoiai lākou e ʻai i nā mea a lākou i loaʻa ai.
No ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻōpio, pono ke kāne e ʻimi he kahua kūpono na ka wahine e hoʻomoe i kāna mau hua.
Me kēia ʻike hiki iā ʻoe ke aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i kēia iʻa.
ʻO kahi manaʻo, waiho i kāu
Nui ia akā nalowale a me ka hanu e nalo 😀😀
