Виды беспозвоночных
Потрясающие обитатели аквариума: беспозвоночные
Хотя большинство беспозвоночных живут в морском аквариуме, вы все же можете найти много прекрасных пресноводных беспозвоночных. Креветки, ракообразные, крабы и улитки очень популярные животные, и многих из них можно содержать в небольшом аквариуме. Например, Закон Германии о защите животных запрещает содержать рыб в аквариумах меньше 54 л!
Maintenance
Shrimps are like crustaceans dependent on oxygen in the water because of their gills. Therefore the aquarium water needs to be well aerated by the filter or an air stone. For the filter it is important that a suction opening is no danger for shrimps (or shrimp offspring)! Please give therefore preference to filters with foam in front of the air intake system. Very suitable are: JBL CristalProfi m greenline , JBL PROAQUATEST Cu Copper .
For the aquarium water it is imperative to check whether any copper content is measurable ( JBL Cu Медь тест ). If you can measure even a trace of copper you MUST use a special water conditioner ( JBL Biotopol C ) since copper is essential for shrimps, but is deadly in measurable amounts. JBL plant fertilisers ( JBL PROFLORA Ferropol , JBL PROFLORA Ferropol 24 etc.) do contain copper, but NEVER in amounts that can be dangerous for invertebrates. They can therefore be used without any worries.
Snails
Snails can become pests or desired gems. Beautiful and fascinating snail species are becoming more and more popular.
Apple snails (Pomacea, Marisa, Asolene), swamp cover snails (Viviparus, Filopaludina)
Omnivorous, persistent and adaptable. JBL PRONOVO BOTIA TAB and JBL PRONOVO TAB M are happily eaten.
Nerites (Neritidae), antler snails (Clithons)
Crepuscular and nocturnal, do not maintain below 20 °C, reproduction in freshwater not possible, separate sexes, good algae eaters
Great ramshorns (Planorbidae), trumpet snails (Melanoides)
Often unpopular because of intense reproduction, very low-maintenace.
Sulawesi rabbit snales (Tylomelania)
Have special water requirements: 27-31 °C, pH around 8, soft water. Omnivores. Like to eat JBL PRONOVO SPIRULINA FLAKES M .
Predatory snails (Buccinidae)
Popularly used for slug control. Keep sexes separate. Temperature from 20 °C. Replacement food instead of snails: JBL PRONOVO TAB M .
Crustaceans
The subphylum of the crustaceans with over 50,000 species has more species than the order of the fish!
One of the most popular animals among aquarium enthusiasts must be the shrimp, since they are peaceful and generally remain small. Shrimps are particularly ideal for enthusiasts with aquariums of less than 50 litres volume.
Many crab species are also very popular. Only a few of them are real aquarium dwellers, however. They prefer an aqua-terrarium with land part to a pure aquarium, filled with water!
Another group are the crayfish, which due to their appearance are also referred to as freshwater lobsters. You do need to know exactly how big the species will grow, since a lot of them can grow to be very large, are incompatible and can also be dangerous for your fish stock.
Cherax species
Can have incredibly beautiful colours! Some species grow to 10-12 cm, but many species also grow to 20 cm. Temperatures from 20 °C. Food: JBL NovoCrabs .
Cambarellus & Procambarus species
Cambarellus & Procambarus species: Species that remain small and are not as aggressive within the species as Cherax species. Water temperatures 10-30 °C depending on species. Food JBL NovoCrabs .
Socialisation
Dwarf shrimps (Caridina and Neocaridina species) are very sociable animals, whereas longarm shrimps are loners. Larger fish sometimes prey on the smaller dwarf shrimps – while longarm shrimps can prey on fish.
Small crustaceans, such as Gambarellus and Procambarus are peaceful creatures and can be well socialised.
The large Cherax species can be dangerous for other fellow occupants and should ideally be kept in a single-species aquarium. Even if the crayfish leave the fish alone during the day, they may prey on the sleeping fish.
Gender differences
In many crayfish defining the gender is not difficult: the gonopores (genital openings) might look similar, but they are located in different places: on the male they are situated between the rear leg pairs, on the females they are further forward.
Креветки
The small and colourful tank inhabitants are not only beautiful to look at, but can also help with aquarium care. They are conquering more and more aquarists' hearts all over the world.
Caridina & Neocaridina species
Sulawesi shrimps
Fan shrimps (Atya species)
Red claws (Macrobrachium)
Bee shrimps
Bumble bee dwarf shrimps
Also only max. 3 cm in size. Demands: like bee shrimps, with which they can also interbreed!
Tiger dwarf shrimps
Shrimp species that grows to only 3 cm long and eats any kind of food. Prefers JBL PRONOVO SHRIMPS GRANO S and JBL PRONOVO SPIRULINA GRANO S .
Red fire or cherry shrimps
Amano shrimp
