Red shiner "Cyprinella lutrensis", Ir- red shiner jew kif tigi mssejha mil- americani, rainbow dace jew red-head minnow, hi huta li wiehed mhux ta spiss jaghra. L’isem ta din il- huta ifiser, “Cyprinella- bil grieg ghal “small carp” u “lutrensis” ifisser otter, referenza ghal post “otter Creek” minfejn giet misjubha l-ewwel darba din il- huta. Mihijiex komunni man- nies maltin ghal diversi faturi, meta din tkun ghal- bejgh fil hwienet go akwarju minajr post fejn tistken, il- lewn taghha jiccarha u wieghed ma joqodx ihares darba tnejn lejn huta ta’ lewn griz palidu, ghax ma tigbiedx l’ghajn u is- sajf malti hu shun wisq ghalijhom. Il- verita hi li din il- huta, specjalment ir- ragel, hi wahda mil- sbieh fost il- familja kbira tac- cyprinids, bhal barbs u danios. Lewn din il- huta hu ikhal car bil- pinnen hommor, fuq gembu, vicijn il- gargi ghandu zewgt strixxi verticali wahda lewn rosa u l-ohra blue. Fuq ir- ras, ir- ragel ghandhu dabra hamra li fin- namra johorgula qieshom ponot bojod (tubercles), listess bhal ma jkolhom il- goldfish fuq il gargi fi zmien in- nammra. Il mara, mghandiex ilwiem attrajenti ghax lewn il fidda, imma sabieha ukoll la darba tisetilja fil- akuarijum, Barra min hekk, jien li Ghandi par, rajt li verament l’ isem ta rainbow dace jixxirqielhom ukoll ghaliex meta jiedhol xi ragg tax- xemx go l- akwarjum, hu dawn is shiners jadhu minnhu, lilwien tal qawsalla jirifletti fuqhom , hu verament ikollhom kullur li jpaxxi lil ghajnejn! Ir- red shiner t’origina min North Amerika, specalment fil- west tal missisipi, south Dakota, New Mexico u Texas.Bhala daqs, din tikber sa 8cm (3.2 inch) Gewwa l’akwarju din hi huta li tisetilja facilment, hi attiva hafna, thobb tkun go ‘shoal’ u mhux ta min iqeda ma hut kalm ghax tgerxu u barra min hekk l’ikel tilhqu min ta l’ewwel hu ftit li xejn thalli ghal haddiehorBhalla ph, s- shiner hi adattabli immens izda tipreferi ph alkaline (7.0- 8.0)Fattur importanti hu li tejx bla heater. Filfatt ikunu ghaktar komdi fix xitwa milli fis- sajf. Dwar l’ikel, din hi fost l’inqas hut li jattu problemi, jieklu kull tip ta ikel tal- hut, li jiedhol f’halqhom u jiggenu ghal ‘livefood’ huta wahieda kapaci tiekol sa’ tazza mimlija dud tan nemus f’gurnata.Sabiex tkattar min din il- huta trid thalijha ghal stagun kiesah, halli tikundizjona ruha ghar- rebbieha. Dan hu l’uniku zmien fejn kiehed ikollu success minnha. Bhala setup ghal- breeding, wiehed ghandu jarma aquarju zghir, qisu 20ltr bil qieh miksi caghaq u ftit javamoss. Is setup iridt ikun qisu tal- barbs u id- danios. Meta il- par titfahhom ghal breeding, dawn jibdew nimbxu lil xulxien, jigru gol- mops u xi kultant ir ragel immur quddiem il- mara, jibda qisu jirtghod bil- pinnen miftuhien u bl’ielwien ikangu iktar min qatt qabel. Flimkien imbghad jibdeghew iduru cirku, hu jerhu il- bajd fejn gie gie, imma spiss jipruvaw jerhuh mal- javamoss.Wara li ilestu, bhal barbs, jinzlu iffietxu il- bajd sabiex jiekluh, hemmekk wiehed jrid ifitex jnehiehom. Il- bajd jiehu mat- tlieta sa hamest ijiem sabiex iffaqas u jiehdu gighma sabiex jsieru ‘freeswimming’. Dan hu kull ma nista nejd fuq din il huta hekk ghal qalbi. Dnub li f’pajjiza titqies bhala ixka ghal hut il- kbir hu jaghmluhom purpetti ukoll! Waqt li fl’Europa tigi meqjusa bhala pest, hu ta’riskju ta’ dannu lil ambjent u fawna lokali, jekk tigi imwadba f’xi xmara. Ghalekk, hbieb meta tkunu f’xi hanut u taraw xi huta griza u bla ilwien, tibqawx ghadejien ghax jaf li dik il- huta griza cassa, la darba titqied fxi’ aquarju komda, timbidhel hu isser kolla ilwien, hekk kif gralli jien biex shiners! ( l’informazjoni dwar it- tkattier giebtu, b’esperjenza personali li kelli meta rabejt dawn il-hut. Lilli bieduli, imma ma kelliex xorti infaqqas xejn!) Bertrand Sant.
