俺的鱼箱

  俺的鱼箱老实说和养宠物的闲情逸志相差很远,鱼们通常不怎么温柔贤淑,哪怕理论上应该是贤淑的鱼。那里不断发生神秘的追杀失踪,生命此消彼长不断流转,充满意外。死亡经常发生,有时还十分丑陋残酷,所以一直很惭愧,怀疑这是鱼的问题,还是人的问题。总之和所谓鱼缸距离遥远,都不好意思说那些鱼都怎么了,免得被爱鱼人氏讨伐。
  但就像所有有悬念有斗争的场所,有许多细碎的趣味和惊喜,尽管和优雅无关。也许鱼们本来就是残酷的,只是硬给罩上了梦幻的面纱。但肯定养得有问题,否则为什么别人缸里都是和平的呢?

My fish tank.
Sometimes I really feel sorry for them, for it is not a peaceful place as a fish tank should be, instead it's more an environment full of hunt and escape, live and die. There must be some problems, very likely, in us, more than in fish.


  
鱼箱是个复杂的地方,草,养草的基肥,石头(要有洞,鱼可以藏起来),加热棒,过滤管,充气管。水里面要加:硝化菌,会分解那些有机物,实现水质平衡;水质稳定剂;水草营养液。

The tank is a balanced environment, water weeds, nutrition for weeds under pebbles, pebbles and stones for hiding, heating stick, filter, air pump. And some need to add into water: bacteria to decompose organic compounds to keep water clean, water stablizer, nutrition drops for weeds.

  
此外,还有一个不成功的产房。论坛上说,产房要:上下分层,中间用网或砂布隔开,这样产下的小鱼会掉到下层,而不被大鱼吃掉。再加上水草,好让鱼躲起来,感觉安全。
把个水瓶剧开,壁上戳了洞透气,抓了两条大肚子鱼进去

A unsuccessful birth cabinet we build according to descriptions on net. The idea is: a net to separate upper and lower part so that the baby fish can go down and avoid eating by mother fish. Weeds need to add in so that they can feel safe.
It is made by a bottle, cut some small hole to recycle in fresh water.
We put 2 pregnant fish in.

  
鱼真是非常聪明,不论是小的经常被咬的,还是大的老咬别人的。这条红绿灯一进去,立刻作出死鱼状,把我们吓一跳,慌忙放出来。

This red-green light is very smart. Fish usually is very smart, big or small. It gives an almost die face at once. We are nervous and let her out at once.

 
它一回到大缸就生龙活虎,原来它就是不喜欢给关进去。好笑之余,就算了。
但一个小时后我们就知道这并不能尽用狡猾来解释,它们都有自己的道理。
那条温顺的孔雀,它在里面毫无意见。从菜场回来就发现它死在里面,就在网纱的位置。我不知道是太闷了,还是它跑到瓶口往下钻不成而困在那里了。鱼都很固执,往一个方向猛冲就不知回头后退。
很郁闷,产房失败,好在并不是所有大肚鱼都给关进去了。

But she revives in no second. She just doesn't want to go into it. OK, let it be.
However it is not so simple, she actually feels the danger. Once hour later when we came back from food market, the other amiable peacock died, just at the net position.
Is it no enough air? Or she just want to go down but stopped by net and can't turn arround?
Anyway, it is a failure. It's lucky not all pregnant fish is in.

  
右侧是另一个社会机构:监狱。
顶上接着过滤器的出水口,氧气就不成问题。圆罐子本来是养水培植物的,出差都死了,现在作监狱,水从罐子里溢出来,加入大缸的循环。
把一些鱼抓进去,让我犹豫很久,老实说这并不公平:难道就因为它们动作更敏捷,游得更快,时不时喜欢追着小鱼的尾巴咬,就要坐牢吗?
比较公平的是把缸一分二,但目前很难实现。

The other side: the prison.
The bottle is connect with the filter outlet so that oxygen is not a problem. Water overflow and join the tank recycling.
It is not so fair to put some fish into prison. Is that their fault if they just swim faster, turn more swiftly and have a so fun hobby to chase smaller fish and bite their tasty tails?

  
阿兹卡班囚徒现任:红尾玻璃和彩裙
最初的一任是一条橙色的金鱼。它和同一批买的其它木讷愚蠢的金鱼不同,灵活活泼,长着一个更像鲤鱼的脑袋。
喂了两天就会每次见我过去就游到水面要吃的。
但是它的同伴诡异地陆续死去了。别的小鱼也不断减员。
我烦恼了一番,搭了监狱,把喜欢到处游荡的它抓了进去。
没两天它就练就了‘鲤鱼跳龙门’的功夫,早上我时不时发现它又兴高采烈地在缸里晃荡了,当然又有小鱼少了尾巴或浮了起来。
抓进去跳出来,抓进去跳出来。
最后的结果是所有疑案中最惨的。后续补买了几条金鱼,用网把它们隔在一边。有一次离开两日回来,所有金鱼都死了。一整条吃剩的骨架在缸底,效果累死新龙门客栈。而它肚腹鼓胀突出,面目邪恶丑陋得认不出来。
这情景让我恶心坏了。从此再不要金鱼。
它的肚腹鼓胀其实也是疾病,不两日也死了。

The current Azcaban: skirts and red-tail glass
The first prisoner is a red golden fish. It is not like its dumb fellow golden fish. It's smart and delicacy. When I came to tank, it will swim up and ask for food.
But all other fish die mysteriously.
Finally I decide to setup the prison and put it in. Not very long, it gets a new skill: jump out. In some morning I can see it runs so happily outside and again some fish lost tail or simply die.
The story end is very ugly. We bought some fellow golden fish for it again. One day back from short trip, I see all golden fish die, one is a skeleton at tank bottom. And this guy with belly so full, and face distorted, hardly recognizable.
The full belly actually hurt it, it died the other day, too.
I lose any interest in golden fish any more.

  
就象金鱼,红尾玻璃和彩裙也是‘不会咬别的鱼的’,卖鱼人信誓旦旦。
这并不是假话。查鱼的资料,关于红尾玻璃:动作敏捷,性情温顺,可与其它热带鱼混养。
彩裙起初非常温顺,每日里动作缓慢,对其它都漠不关心。但是当囚徒小金鱼死去后,不知哪天,我赫然发现它们动作变得极其迅速,在缸里左追右扑。总之,不管什么原因,它们技能突然进化了,又得关起来。
红尾玻璃全身透明,游起来很鬼魅。
还是有鱼被咬掉尾巴,又一次买鱼和老板娘侃价,我说便宜点吧,反正我的鱼都活不长,每天早上捞死鱼,很快就又要买的啊。她大笑。我问这鱼能和其它鱼养吗,我的鱼老被咬。她问有什么鱼?我说有透明的。她说,红尾巴的?那种会咬的。
回去就把它们隔离了。
再到一个鱼店,指着红尾玻璃问它们咬别的鱼。老板说不会!
那为什么我的就咬?
老板简短地说,鱼有两种可能咬,一,这种鱼本来就咬,二,这鱼有病。
我当时以为老板是说我的红尾玻璃疯了,很不以为然。
但后来FEW有一天看了论坛说,如果有鱼病了,其它的鱼就会咬死它,这是它们的生存规则。

All fish are supposed not to bite others when I bought them.
But some developed. After golden prisoner died, skirts suddenly active, they start to chasing others.
Seller said red-tail glass won't bite. It is not a lie, on internet I also read the description: move fast, but amiable, can raise together with other small fish.
The group of transparent red-tail glass swims like ghosts.
The other day I ask a shop owner, why my red-tail glass bite? He replys simple, either the fish is a bite type, or it's sick.
At first I think he's ridiculous because I take his word as my fish is mad.
But later FEW told me someone on forum said, if a fish is ill, other fish will attack him, that's the fish's way to survive the group.
