According to translator William Scott Wilson: "In Chinese, the character 侍 is a word that means waiting or accompany someone in the ranks of society, and this is also true of the original term in Japanese, saburau. In both countries the term usually means" those who serve present close to the nobility, "the pronunciation later changed to Saburai, according to Wilson, the initial reference to the word" samurai "appears in the Kokin Wakashū (905-914), the first imperial anthology of poems, completed in the first part of the 10th century. At the end of the century 12th, samurai became almost entirely synonymous with bushi, and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper class warrior. Samurai followed a set of rules that came to be known as Bushido. samaurai although still less than 10% of the Japanese population, their teachings can still be found to this day both in daily life - today and in modern Japanese martial arts.

The lovers of ornamental fish, if you want to know more about discus fish? This fish is very popular even for the beginners in the field of ornamental fish.

If you want to know in advance the types of freshwater fish a good idea to read the introduction of the kinds of freshwater fish first. Well we will go to the topic of discussion on the following discus fish.

Discus fish.

Symphysodon discus commonly known as a genus of cichlids that comes from the river Amazon. Fish body shape is unique and has a bright color caused discus fish are popular as aquarium freshwater fish. This fish is also popular in Indonesia to decorate aquariums at home.

There are three types of fish are popular among other Symphysodon genus Symphysodon aequifasciatus (Blue discus), Symphysodon discus (Red disc or Heckel discus), and Symphysodon tarzoo.

Discus fish live in the Amazon river. These fish live in the tropics and has a high diversity. Discus fish species have a deployment / distribution different.

Discus fish have a body shape that is flat, disc-shaped pieces. On the chart of the body side are motifs in green, red, brown, and blue. Height and length of each fish 20-25 cm.

Red fish discus (red melom, red cover) female has a redder color than the males. Another characteristic possessed Discus fish are those concerned with the larvae of fish produced. Most fish brooding cichlid genus there is a relationship between the child and parent to child. Discus adult issued secretion of the skin for her children who are still in the form of larvae.

Discus fit cultivated in tropical climates with water temperature 25-30oC. For maintenance in the aquarium should be a little patient, because the discus fish is stressed.
     

Taxonomy.

Discus classified in Symphysodon, which now encompass three species: ordinary Discus (Symphysodon aequifasciatus), Heckel Discus (Symphysodon discus), and new species are yet to be named that is Symphysodon tarzoo. However, a further study published in 2007 Ogos reserve the genus THAT classed in the species: S. aequifasciatus (green disc), S. haraldi (regular disc / blue / war) and S. discus (Heckel Discus). Both studies back up the three species; with the exception will be the scientific names for each of them.
     

Appearance.

Epertimana cichlid genus Pterophyllum, all of Symphysodon species has a flattened body. Contrary to Pterophyllum, which makes prominent dorsal body shape Symphysodon as if round. Of body shape is the name "disc" was published. Side of this fish usually have motifs in green, red, and blue war. Height and length of mature fish is approximately 20-25 cm (8-10 in).

Breeding.

Other characteristics Symphysodon species are guarding them would larvae. Climb into the process will take a period of two weeks and so the eggs will start to hatch after two or three days after the eggs of male and female compounded. Like most cichlid fish, childcare done by both female and male fish. Additionally, adult discus issued secretion through the skin, which depend larvae live in the first few days. This behavior can also be observed in Uaru species. However, for breeding in captivity, the larvae will depend on the life of mother and father for a few weeks.

Location and Habitat.

Symphysodon species inhabit the lakes-lakes and rivers in lowland floodplain of the Amazon river, where it is a part of the Neotropical fish.

Three species of Symphysodon have differing geography sprinkles. S. aequifasciatus be found in the Rio Solimões, Amazonas and Rio Rio Putumayo-Ica in Brazil, Colombia and Peru. In contrast to the sprinkling of S. discus that may be encountered with in downstream rivers Abacaxis, Rio Negro and Trombetas. S. tarzoo be found in the upstream Manaus in the western Amazon.

Do You Know Angelfish.

Butterflyfish are a group of tropical marine fish of the family Chaetodontidae brightly colored; flag fish and coral fish are also included in this family. Most are found in coral reefs in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic, butterfly fish consists of about 120 species in 10 generations. A number of species pairs in the Indian and Pacific oceans, members of the genus are large, Chaetodon, and their taxonomy is often felt confused by what species of this genus are considered a species or subspecies. A recent study using data from DNA sequencing to answer many of these questions. Many subgenerasi also been proposed to divide Chaetodon, and now it becomes clear how the genus should be divided if it desired.
Butterfly looks like a small version of the fish injel (Pomacanthidae), but unlike injel fish, butterflyfish preoperkulum not have spines on the gill cover. Some members of the genus Heniochus like Moorish Idol (Zanclus cornutus) from the family monotipik Zanclidae. Among the "Perciformes" which parafiletik, injel fish may not be too far related to butterflyfish, whereas Zanclidae seem more distant.

Description and ecology.

Butterfly fish are generally small, mostly 12 to 22 cm in length. The largest species, striped butterflyfish and the saddle butterflyfish, C. ephippium, grows up to 30 cm. Her name refers to a light-colored body and figured prominently in many species, with a touch of black, white, blue, red, orange, and yellow. But some ordinary colored species. Many butterfly that 'eye spots' in his side and dark bands that pass through their eyes, similar to the pattern seen in the wings of a butterfly. Flat round body is easily recognizable in the abundance of coral reef life, so that people think that the striking color was intended for interspecies communication. Butterfly butterfly fish dorsal fin is not divided, rounded tail fin or appear truncated but not branched.
Generally active during the day and are often located in the shallow water depth of less than 18 m (although some species down to 180 m), butterfly generally tied to specific habitat range. Butterflyfish coral eaters are generally territorial, form mating pairs and their own claim ownership over coral. In contrast, eating zooplankton form the group of large numbers of species. At night, butterfly hiding among the corals and crevices and show different body colors from color during the day.
Their color also makes fish butterflyfish popular aquarium fish. However, many species eat corals, polyps and anemones. This poses a problem in most reef aquarium where delicate balance must be maintained. Therefore, the species is maintained at a hobby or a common food species specialist zooplankton eaters.
Butterfly fish is a fish that spawn pelagic, ie they produce a lot of eggs that float which later became part of the plankton, drifting drift until hatch. Her son through a stage called tholichthys, where the body of the fish covered pascalarva large slab of bone that extends from the head. The bone slab disappear when they grow up. Phase protected such slab was only seen in one other fish families, scat (Scatophagidae).

Taxonomy, systematics and evolution.

Name familia butterfly fish comes from the Ancient Greek word Chaite ("Hair") and odontos ("teeth"). This refers to the rows of teeth-like brush in his mouth.
Chaetodontidae can be divided into two lineages that may be considered as subfamilia. However this is not finished, and the subfamily Chaetodontinae name not be used because he is a relic of a time when Pomacanthidae and Chaetodontidae combined in Chaetodontidae as one family. Therefore, Chaetodontinae now considered a junior synonym of Chaetodontidae. In any case, one lineage Chaetodontidae (in the modern sense) consists of a butterfly "typical" around Chaetodon, while others combine the fish genus flag and coral fish. Because "Perciformes" very parafiletik, the exact relationship of Chaetodontidae overall less known.
The fossil record of this little group of fish. This is due mainly to the fact that they are limited to staying in the reef where the carcass is eaten by scavengers, offset by excessive growth of coral, even if they were fossilized likely sooner or later erosion will destroy their fossils. However, there Pygaeus, very basal fossils from the Eocene epoch-middle end of Europe, dating from the Bartonian 40-37 million years ago. So Chaetodontidae may come from middle-early Eocene. Molecular clock combined with the evidence given Pygaeus allows placement of the initial separation between the two major lineages until late-middle Eocene, along with several other fossils, allowing it to conclude that most of the living genus may now be different at the end of the Paleogene 23 million years ago.

Generation.

Line-fish coral fish flag can be further divided into two groups; this may be considered Tribus but not yet officially named. Genera listed sequentially or based phylogenetic calculated, from the most ancient to the youngest:

Flag fish / coral fish line 1:

Amphichaetodon
Coradion
Chelmon
Chelmonops

Flag fish / coral fish line 2:

Forcipiger
Hemitaurichthys
Heniochus
Johnrandallia Nalbant 1974 (including Pseudochaetodon)
Butterflyfish "typical" may consist of more genera; Chaetodon see article for details:
Chaetodon (including Parachaetodon and Roa)
Prognathodes (sometimes incorporated into Chaetodon).

How To Maintain And Maintain Good Fish Koi.

Caring for and maintaining good Koi fish a must for hobbyists. Basic staple to keep in mind is an appropriate, within their water and feeding techniques.

Suitable Koi fish pond.

Koi fish can be kept in the pool cement, ground pools, garden ponds. Maintenance of koi fish in the aquarium is not recommended. Because koi need a broad and deep swimming area. In addition, koi beauty lies in the colorful back. If elegance is maintained in the tank body and the color does not look up.

Koi pond size is recommended at least 1.5m x 2m depths of 80-50cm. If pools are too shallow, the fish bodies will be constantly in contact with sunlight. Too much sun can change the color of koi body so pale and stunted growth.

Noteworthy distance to the lip of the pool water of at least 25cm is useful to prevent koi jump to the mainland. Swimming should be equipped sewer at the bottom. At the top of an installed pipes to deliver clean water that has been deposited.

Water For Fish Coins Good.

Filter four layers need to be installed to maintain cleanliness and smooth supply of water. Filters are four layers

- The first filter is composed of gravel, sand, and palm fiber filter function littering rubbish and mud pools.
- The second form of carbon zeolite filter function removes toxins, odor, and kill germs.
- The third filter in the form of non-lethal pesticide-degrading bacteria that play a role in the process of water purification pond.
-Filter Fourth form of plants or rocks that can bind to dirt.

The degree of acidity (pH) of water that is suitable for the growth of koi is from 6.5 to 8.5. To maintain the water circulation pump can be installed capable of delivering as much as 25 liters of water per minute. In this way, the pool water does not need frequent cleaning, but need to clean the filter and filter tub. How, spray filters with clean water about 5-10 minutes.

When using this filter, you should do the replacement of water every two weeks. The goal is to get rid of toxic substances from the leftovers are decomposed into nitrite are harmful to fish health.

Do You Know Termites.

Termites are social insects member infraordo Isoptera, part of the order Blattodea (cockroach) is widely recognized as an important pest of human life. Termites eat wood and lodged in the frame home furnishing or causing many economic losses. Termites are still allied with ants, which are also social insects. In English, termites called "white ants" (white ant) ​​because of the similarity behavior.

Wood damage due to termite attack.

The term actually refers to the animal termites in general, but there are several different forms known as the ant colony or social bees. In the colonies, termites do not have wings. However, some form of winged termites can achieve that will come out of the nest in droves at the start of the rainy season (which is often a sign of a change to the rainy season) at dusk and fly closer to the light. This form is known as moths or termites.

Termite Control.

A study proves that the application of NE effective in controlling subterranean termites C. curvignathus. Subterranean termites are pests that have habitat specificity and have typical behavior. Termite colonies build his palace in the soil to a certain depth, even often looks firmly on the ground. Termite colonies in the soil could number in the hundreds of thousands to millions and led by a queen termite termites protected by thousands of soldiers in a sturdy building that is composed of soil. Habitat and behavior is difficult termites termite control using chemical pesticides because of the shape and nature of the pesticide does not support. Instead, use NE to control termites are very effective because mobility NE strongly supports the achievement of target pest accuracy and habitat NE accordance with termite habitat. Therefore, the results of these studies proved the high percent termite mortality due to NE application is very significant compared to the control treatment.

Termite life cycle.

Termite life cycle we can learn that we understand their life cycle that starts from the soft egg shape transparent orange and the next egg will hatch into larvae. Of these larvae will grow up and become a little termites commonly called nymphs. When growing up, the young termites will choose their role in large colonies in the group.

Termite eggs.

After hatching and becoming new termite known that these small termites into what kind of termites, so he could be a soldier termites, termites and termite workers queen and king termites. Most of them will be the worker termites. Termite workers in colonies numbering at most. As their work is finding and collecting food, caring for the parent and its larvae, building nests and improve both existing and new nests.
This kind of caste worker termites have the ability to digest cellulose contained in the wood, and then digest the wood to then be spit out and become food for the mother, the soldiers and the larvae. Termites This type is generally the most damaging many buildings are wood therein.
As for the types of termites are the most destructive Formosan termites because it has a very large colonies and spend most food among other termite species.

Termites workers

In addition there is also a worker termite nymphs which then became a termite soldier who served to keep a colony. However this type of termite has the disadvantage of this type of termite is not able to eat alone. They rely heavily on workers to provide them with regurgitated food. The soldier termites will cooperate with termite workers in finding and distributing food.

Termite soldier.

Termites sires in charge of production (Alates), termites are the future queen of a new colony of termites. Their body shape when the newborn is not as great when it became queen termites but still slim, of a termite kingdom only those who have wings. The wing is what is needed to move from one place to another in order to build new colonies in different places, two pairs of wings of the same size will appear on their backs.
Queen termites or termite sires we often refer to as moths and appear before the rain. Beautiful shape of their bodies to a class of termites (slim and winged) will not be able to last long. Because of this wing has the disadvantage that vulnerable and very fragile, and quickly fall out once they have found a place to build a new colony.
If elected to the queen, the body of the female moths will not be slim again and will be obese, because the purpose of his life until death is laying for the colony. Where they will continue to eat and eat again to be the most energy and raw materials into the eggs.
Termite queen and king termites in a colony there is only one king and one queen. Termite queen is also the world's longest living insect can live 50 years under the right conditions.

The queen termite.

When a termite colony becomes too great and the queen can not lay eggs enough to maintain it, sexual reproduction by reproductive termites would run to ease the burden of the queen. Thank you for reading this article. Written and posted by Bambang Sunarno. sunarnobambang86@gmail.com
