Inhlanzi yokuhlobisa - njenge-koi, i-goldfish, ne-tropical aquarium fish - yizinhlanzi ezinhle ezigcinwe ngenjongo yokubonisa noma yizibuko zamanzi noma izinhlanzi ezinhlanzi.
Ukukhiqizwa kwezinhlanzi ze-ornamental eNingizimu Afrika kuncane futhi kunomkhawulo kubalimi abambalwa, okhiqiza ama-Koich, iLake Malawi ama-cichlids, i-discus fish, i-killifish kanye ne-fishfish. Lokhu kwenziwa ngokuyinhloko eMpumalanga Kapa, eMpumalanga naseKwaZulu-Natali. Ukukhiqizwa okukhethekile futhi okuncintisana nokuthengiswa kwezinga eliphakeme kakhulu kusukela eMpumalanga Ekude - cishe ama-95% wezinhlanzi zezinhlanzi zaseNingizimu Afrika ezihlotshisiwe.
Akukho ndawo emakethe yaseNingizimu Afrika yezinhlanzi ezishibhile, ezisezingeni eliphansi lezinhlobonhlobo. Ukuthengiswa kwempahla kusengabizi kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nezindleko zendawo zokukhiqiza nokusabalalisa.
Uma iNingizimu Afrika ingacubungula ukungena kwezinhlanzi zokuhlobisa ngokukhiqiza kwayo, kufanele ihambisane nalezi zidingo ezine, okuyiwona oqinisekisa ukuphumelela kokukhiqizwa kwezinhlanzi zase-Far East:
Iwuchwepheshe kakhulu.
Ikhwalithi yezinhlanzi iphezulu kakhulu.
Ukumaketha kuphakathi.
I-aquaculture yezinhlanzi ezihlotshaniswayo yenziwa ngaphansi kwezimo ezifudumele ze-equatorial ezihambisana ne-biology ngakho-ke ukukhiqiza nokukhuphula izinhlanzi ezishisayo.
Ukukhiqizwa kwezinhlanzi zekhwalithi akunakwenziwa eklasini yama-aquaria noma ngisho namathangi weplastiki noma ama-concrete. Ikhwalithi ephakeme ngokwanele ayikwazi ukufezwa ezinkambisweni ezinjalo. Ukukhiqizwa kweMpumalanga Ekude kwenziwa ikakhulukazi emachibini omhlaba, kaningi ngamanzi aluhlaza nokudla okunemvelo kwemvelo. Ukukhiqizwa kwamanzi aluhlaza lapho umanyolo wengezwa emanzini ukukhuthaza ukukhula kwemvelo yemvelo yenhlanzi njenge-daphnia, i-cyclops ne-algae.
eNingizimu Afrika, ukukhiqizwa kwezinhlanzi zokuhlobisa kuzofuna ukusetshenziswa kwemigwaqo ezindaweni ezifudumele lapho amanzi angagcinwa ngaphezu kwama-25°C. Ukukhiqizwa kwe-goldfish, abaphilayo kanye nezinhlobo zomphakathi ezifana ne-tetras, i-labeo 'sharks' ne-catfish azifinyeleli izinga elifanele ngaphansi kwanoma iyiphi enye indlela yokuklama.
Ukugxila kakhulu emininingwaneni nokulondoloza ikhwalithi kubalulekile ekuphumelelweni kwempumelelo yokulima inhlanzi. Isibonelo sokuthi kubaluleke kangakanani lokhu kuboniswa ipulazi elikhulu lezinhlanzi e-KwaZulu-Natali kangangokuthi ngonyaka wama-1990 kwakhiqiza izinhlanzi eziningi kakhulu emakethe yaseNingizimu Afrika. Leli famu lalinamasethingi angaphezu kuka-150, ngisho nokuthumela ama-guppies aphezulu e-USA. Inhlangano ikhuliswe njengebhizinisi eliyinhloko elinomsebenzi oqinile, owazi kahle futhi onolwazi. Uma sekuhlanganiswe abasebenzi abasebenza ngabanye, ngamunye obhekene nemishini yokudonsa eyodwa noma ngaphezulu, kwehluleka phakathi nonyaka, ngokucophelela ngemininingwane, ikhwalithi ngisho nokudla okujwayelekile, kwaphela.
Ukukhiqizwa kwezinhlanzi zokuhlobisa eNingizimu Afrika kunqunyelwe, njengoba izinhlanzi zidinga izimo ezifudumele zokuzalisa, kodwa indawo enkulu yabantu, eGauteng, kanye nemakethe enkulu ikhona e-Highveld epholile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuphazamiseka kagesi okungaphazamiseki kubaluleke kakhulu futhi kufanele kuthathwe ngokucabangela.
Kuzohlala khona imakethe ye-niche yezinhlobo ezikhethekile lapho izindleko ezitholakalayo nezokuthutha zibiza izindleko zokukhiqiza ezikhiqiza lezi zindawo ngabalimi abambalwa bezolimo. Izibonelo yizinhlanzi zaseLake Malawi, izinhlanzi ze-discus kanye nezinye izinhlobo zezinhlobo ezinzima.
Ukuqeqesha abalimi abasha bezinhlanzi eNingizimu Afrika kunomkhawulo ochwepheshe bezokudoba abazimele. Kukhona ubuchwepheshe obulinganiselwe eminyangweni kahulumeni kanye nemboni yokulima yezinhlanzi, okuzofanele ukuqeqesha abalimi abamhlophe bezinhlanzi ezintsha.
