Nangona uninzi lunemvelaphi yetropiki, amaqondo obushushu aphezulu kakhulu akhawulezisa inqanaba lokucolwa kwemetabolism yakho kwaye ke kunciphisa ubude bayo. Amaqondo obushushu aphakathi kwama-23 kunye nama-27º C angalungela phantse zonke. Ngamaqondo obushushu angaphantsi kwe-18º C bagcina imiqondiso yabo ebalulekileyo kodwa ngaphantsi kobushushu baya kungena kwinqanaba lokudinwa.
Uninzi lweentlobo lubuthathaka kubukho beemixube ze-nitrogen, kubandakanya ne-nitrite esezantsi. Zihlala ziqhelekile uvakalelo kumayeza ngakumbi ezo zibandakanya ubhedu phakathi kwezinto zalo, ke ngoko kufuneka silumke xa kufuneka sicoce amanzi.
Ku malunga Iintloni kunye nohlobo lokuziphatha ngokuhlwa. Umsebenzi wayo ophezulu wenziwa emini. Ngexesha lokuphumla zigcinwa zifihliwe kumakhaya abo okhuselo okanye emva kokukhuselwa kwamagqabi ezityalo. Ukufakela ukukhanya kwenyanga kumaxesha obumnyama kuya kusinceda sizixabise izinto oqhele ukuzula kuzo ujikeleze i-aquarium.
