Paludarium Start Trending

 "What is a paludarium?" The traders at the ornamental fish sales center on Jalan Sumenep, Central Jakarta asked when asked the location of the paludarium seller. They only know the aquarium. In fact, aquarium and paludariuam still part of the vivarium (container closed and transparent to keep animals), in addition to insectarium and terrarium.

Aquariums for aquatic habitats only, terrariums for terrestrial habitats only, insectariums for insects and aquatic habitat combined land and water habitats, sometimes air. Generally palud, the designation for paludarium, is made solely for aesthetics, such as for home decoration.

However, some also use it for research or to accelerate animal reproduction or encourage the growth of plants in the aquarium.

Due to being able to combine terrestrial, aquatic and aerial habitats, the types of flora and fauna are kept increasing, ranging from amphibians, reptiles, fish, to insects and birds. As a result, the types of ecosystems that can be made also vary.

Examples of ecosystem themes created are tropical rain forests, river banks, swamps, and even beaches. "For those themes, we are just approaching, cannot be exact, because there are so many details," Ariawan explained.

If you want to approach the original ecosystem, the size of the paludarium is very influential, though the paludarium does not actually have a standard size. To date, Montreal Biodome in Canada which includes five ecosystems, 4,000 fauna, and 1,500 floras is still the largest paludarium in the world.

According to Ariawan, "The difficulty in making the paludarium depends on the theme that will be made." For example when creating a miniature coastal ecosystem. When the objective approaches the original ecosystem, then the water used must be sea water, so that the marine fish can be kept alive.

The problem is, unlike fresh water that consists of only a few components, seawater has many components to be maintained (such as pH, KH and CO2). Each component affects each other. The choice of plants also become less jaug because, the high salt content in sea water makes plants difficult to grow.

For that, "The concept of paludarium is not necessarily standardized with certain theme (read: ecosystem), sometimes can be modified," said Ariawan who finished his education at the Faculty of Biology, National University. (Ade Sulaeman / Online Digest).

Louhan fish is one of the most popular freshwater ornamental fish species in the world, especially in Indonesia. Fish is a lot of fans because the type of louhan fish has advantages in the forehead of the jenong and beautiful scales. However, if we cannot take care of it properly, then the excess of the louhan fish does not necessarily arise. Therefore, we need to know how to care for louhan fish properly. Here's how to care for louhan fish properly.

How to Take care of Flowerhorn Cichlids

Aquarium
The aquarium used to care for the louhan fish needs to be considered in size. The size of the aquarium should be adjusted to the size of our louhan fish. A good aquarium size for louhan fish is 3/4 larger than the size of our louhan fish. For example our louhan fish has a length between 40-50 cm, preferably the aquarium size used for our louhan fish has dimensions of about 200X70X80cm.

Aquarium Supplies
To be able to provide fish comfort and simplify us in caring for louhan fish, there are some equipments and equipments that need to be prepared in caring for louhan fish. Equipment and equipment needed include:

Aerators
Maintaining fish in an aquarium is very different from fish that live in the wild. Fish that exist in the wild get the air or oxygen more than the fish kept in the aquarium. Therefore, fish kept in an aquarium need the help of a tool to supply oxygen.

Tools that can be used to supply oxygen into the aquarium are Aerators or air pumps. Aerators have a function to give air into the aquarium and remove air from the remnants of fish breathing. To choose a good aerator, choose an aerator that can remove a lot of air, but requires a small amount of electricity.

Heater & Thermometer
Water temperatures in the aquarium need to be arranged so that our louhan fish have good growth. Because the growth of louhan fish will slow down if the water temperature in the aquarium is cold. The way to find out the temperature of water in an aquarium is to use a thermometer.

If the thermometer shows the temperature of the aquarium water in a cold state, we can raise the air temperature by means of Heater or heater. The ideal air temperature for louhan fish is about 28-30 degrees Celsius.

Filter
Cleanliness of water in an aquarium is very important to note. If the aquarium water is dirty, then most likely our louhan fish will die. So, we should always clean the aquarium water. This is very inconvenient to us because the aquarium water is usually very dirty quickly. To solve this problem, we can use filter tool or water filter. Filters have a function to filter aquarium water at all times to keep it clean. However, we still need to replace the water aquarium, but replace the water is not as often when we do not use filters.

Lighting
The lighting in the aquarium is very important for our louhan fish so that our louhan fish do not become timid. To illuminate the aquarium, we can use TL lamps. In addition to illuminate our aquarium, TL lamp also serves to add to the beauty of our aquarium. (Read Also: How to Take Care of Louhan Fish)

However, these TL lamps can produce hot temperatures, so they can affect the temperature of the aquarium water. So, we need to pay attention to the size of TL lamp with aquarium size. The ideal TL lamp size for the 80X40 cm aquarium is 20 watts.

Water plants
In order to resemble a habitat in the open, aquariums need to be provided with ornamental plants. It can also beautify our louhan fish aquarium.

Sand & Rock
Sand is used for grounding laying rock or gravel. The sand is still mixed with humus is the best sand for our aquarium. A 3-mm-size cylinder also needs to be added in our aquarium. 

Fish feed
Food for louhan fish needs to be considered so that our louhan fish can develop well. Good food for louhan fish there are two kinds, namely natural food and artificial food. Natural foods include hair worms, silk worms, earthworms, blood worms, water fleas, artemia, mosquito larvae, and shrimp. While artificial foods include special pellets for louhan fish. Feeding using pellets should be accustomed since the louhan fish is still small. We can combine the two kinds of food.

Aquarium Control
Flowerhorn Cichlids aquarium every day must be seen or controlled water temperature, water ph, and clean water. To know the condition of water temperature, we can use the thermometer we have provided. Whereas, water ph can be known by ph meter. The normal water ph for an aquarium is 6-8.5. In addition, we also need to make a schedule to replace our aquarium water. However, aquarium water replacement is not necessary too often. Because we already use filters. The ideal schedule to replace water in the aquarium is about once every two weeks.
