一偏转自ED的好文章

我比较懒，调主要的给大家翻译，ED是委内瑞拉人，住美国，是那里最大神仙鱼网站，埃及板块的版主，我很佩服的。而且真的教人好东西

Ed Ruiz is an altum guru. This is his list that I have followed with 100% survival rate.
ED Ruiz是埃及大仙，我按他的单子作，100%成活率

The following 15 elements are in his opinion
essential for the acclimatization of wild P.
altum to captivity:
以下15条是他认为人工定水饲养埃及的必要条件

1. pH 4.5 to 5.5
这个大家都知道

2. Electroconductivity 0.5 to 0.15
导电度 0.05到0.15

3. Constant maintenance temperature =
84F (83-86F)
饲养温度：29

4. Therapeutic treatment temperature = No
more than 88F-90F
治疗温度：31到32

5. Dissolved oxygen ( by means of
appropriate circulation and UV)
含氧量，通过水泵和UV灯提高

6. Substrate – white river sand, 1-2mm,
eroded, round, smooth (Torpedo Beach*
type or equivalent)
低沙，白色细沙

7. Dead hardwood branches (oak,
mahogany, cherry wood and similar)
硬木的树枝，橡树，红木等等

8. Peat moss, T. catappa (Ketapang
leaves), alder cones, and similar organic
media to naturally acidify and soften
water and provide important astringent
properties. Water should never be so
dark that you cannot easily see your fish.
You need to see your fish to know for
sure they are healthy.
泥草，橄榄叶，松球等散发自然酸的物质，可以软化水。但是水不要黑的看不见鱼

9. Muriatic or Sulfuric acid, to further acidify
water if results cannot be obtained using
natural botanical media alone. Only use
diluted aqueous solutions and very
slowly.
可以用人工降酸，如果天然物质降酸效果不好，用稀释溶液，缓慢进行

10. I strongly recommend covering back
and sides of the aquarium.
强烈建议遮住鱼缸3面，只留前面

11. Sufficient UV filtration (to kill any
microbes present in water column).
This will in turn augment dissolved
oxygen by controlling micro bioload
and allowing improved oxygen levels.
紫外线灯可以杀死水中有机物，提高含氧量

12. Strong uniform and indirect aeration
allowing complete water column
turnover in all directions thus creating
a moderate river current. Altum prefer
more dynamic waters than discus.
强烈不直接的水流让水充分循环，模仿河流。埃及比七彩喜欢水流

13. Subdued lighting or simulation of a
canopy habitat (light shaded and
broken up by vegetation above)
暗的灯光模仿水面上自然植被的遮挡

14. Diet: Live foods are preferred.
Mosquito larvae, black worms, gut
loaded pin head crickets, Hydei fruit
flies (the larger of the species
commercially available), Daphnia
magna, live clean cultured gut loaded
feeder fish, etc. Frozen and freeze
dried foods as well as prime grade
pellets should also compliment the
diet. Vitamin and mineral gut loaded
live feed will do very much to increase
growth rate and a strong immune
system.
多用活食，红虫，线虫，蟋蟀等。冻的和干的食物作为补充，提高生长速度和免疫力

15. Bioload: Optimally 15-20 gallons per
adult fish, but 10 gallons per adult will
suffice as long as water changes are
accomplishing null nitrite levels.
Ammonia levels will not bother due to
the low pH we will be keeping the fish
at
最好每条成鱼15到20加仑水（一加仑等于3.8升）。至少10加仑每条成鱼，但要保证换水以减少硝酸盐。氨在这么酸的水里不是问题
