Imvamisa kwenzeka ukuthi uthathe isinqumo sokubeka i-aquarium ngokuphelele kusukela ekuqaleni futhi ngokusobala ibe sesimweni esihle, kepha ngemuva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa uyabona ukuthi izinhlanzi ziyafa. Leli linegama njengoba kwenzeka kaningi ukwenzeka, libizwa ngokuthi 'i-aquarium syndrome entsha', kuvame kakhulu kuma-aquariums amasha futhi ukuze kungenzeki, kufanele kuvinjelwe ngokulandela imihlahlandlela ethile.
Iphutha noma imbangela, ithi, iku- ubuthi be-ammonia. Inhlanzi ikhiqiza i-ammonia kudoti wayo, ocutshungulwa ngamagciwane bese uguqulwa ube yi-nitrite. I- i-nitrite ne-ammonia ayingozi kakhulu ukudoba ngisho nangamanani amancane. I-aquarium entsha ayinawo la magciwane abalulekile, ngakho-ke i-ammonia iyaqoqa, ekugcineni ifake ubuthi ezinhlanzini zife.
Isixazululo, qala umjikelezo ku-aquarium. Uma ifakiwe ku-aquarium, kufanele inikezwe ngezinhlanzi ezincane nezinokumelana ukuqala inqubo, futhi phatha amanzi ngomkhiqizo yakhelwe ukuqala umjikelezo ku-aquarium. Kungcono ukwethula izinhlanzi ezimbalwa kepha ezingazweli ukugwema i-aquarium syndrome entsha. Lokhu kuzosebenza njengokunikezwa kwe-ammonia kumakholoni amabhaktheriya.
Kuyadingeka ukuthi ukwethulwa kwenhlanzi kuhamba kancane. Ungalinge udlule inhlanzi eyodwa noma ezimbili ngesonto. Ngakho-ke amabhaktheriya amakoloni okukhona ethangini kuzokhula futhi kujwayele ukumelana nenani elikhulayo le-ammonia elifakwe ethangini. Kubalulekile ukuthi i-aquarium ihlanzekile futhi i-nitrate ivuselelwa, kulokhu kufanele ushintshe phakathi kuka-10 no-20% wamanzi masonto onke. Lapho uhlanza isihlungi, ungakwenzi ngamanzi kampompi noma imikhiqizo efana nensipho, njengoba lokhu kukwazi bulala leli koloni lamagciwane futhi izophinde iqale umjikelezo, uyihlanze njalo ngamanzi e-aquarium.
