Abstract

A variety of fish species have proven instrumental in the investigation of evolution, behavior, ecology, and physiology, among many other fields. Many model systems (e.g., zebrafish, guppies, and three-spined sticklebacks) have been maintained by institutions and have had protocols written with respect to their husbandry. Here we present the protocols we have developed to maintain and breed a variety of Corydoras catfish species, which are native to the tropical Americas. Corydoras species are excellent systems for investigating behavior, ecology, and other topics, and our husbandry protocols would be suitable for nearly every species in the genus. In addition, these protocols are appropriate for a variety of softwater Amazonian species, and we present options for a variety of housing and husbandry conditions. On the whole, we suggest that, in a scientific laboratory setting, the use of remineralized reverse osmosis water is most appropriate and that in context, a single measure, total dissolved solids, can be used to monitor the water chemistry for water introduced to fish enclosures.

科里多拉斯鲶鱼和许多其他亚马逊鱼种的综合饲养规程。
事实证明,各种鱼类在研究进化、行为学、生态学和生理学等许多领域都发挥了重要作用。许多模式系统(如斑马鱼、幌鱼和三刺鱼)都由相关机构维护,并制定了饲养规程。在此,我们将介绍我们为饲养和繁殖原产于美洲热带地区的各种科氏鲶而制定的规程。鲯鳅是研究行为学、生态学和其他课题的绝佳系统,我们的饲养规程几乎适用于该属的所有物种。此外,这些饲养方法也适用于多种亚马逊河软水鱼种,我们还提供了多种饲养方法和饲养条件。总的来说,我们建议,在科学实验室环境中,使用再矿化反渗透水是最合适的,而且在具体情况下,可以使用溶解性总固体这一单一指标来监测引入鱼类围栏的水的化学性质。
