Remarkable prehistoric amphibian Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), there are more than 350 million years is one of the many advantages of Alushta Aquarium:. Axolotl in its origin is the larval form of certain types of ambistom is an amphibian of the family unit Ambistomovyh Tailed Beasts. The name comes from the Spanish 'igrayuschiyy in the water' or 'water toys. " This nickname is tailored to his appearance: his eyes are small – the playful, wide mouth stretches the entire width of the big head, so it seems to us that the larva is constantly smiling. Aksolotnl reaches maturity and becomes capable of reproduction is not even turned into an adult form, so it larva remains eternal. The body length is 30 centimeters.

On each side of the head are three pairs of external gills that look like a very long shaggy branches. Axolotl excellent swimmer, and it helps a long wide tail. Color pretty interesting – the body of greenish-brown, covered with small round black spots, but the abdomen – the light. It is interesting that the amphibian larvae breathe by gills under water and on land – through the lungs and through the skin. Axolotl – a predator. Basically spends his time lying motionless on the bottom of the pond, his head bowed, waiting for prey, occasionally surfacing only to povrhnosti gulp some air.

But only spotted movement axolotl sharply rushes on extraction, which are swallowed whole. Generally axolotl totally harmless amphibians are not endowed with any natural protective agents. Each other, they also paid little attention. Although in hungry times eat around the gills, legs and tails of their own kind, that eventually grows back. Habitat: lakes Chalco and Hochimilko in Mexico. Reproduction: Marriage Game axolotls usually occur at night. The female lays from 600 to 1000 eggs. Caviar develops about 15 days. In the first 4-6 days the larvae are fed by the contents of their yolk sac. Content in Alushta Aquarium: Water temperature for the larvae of 18-20 C, need constant aeration basin at by aquarium compressor. They eat snails, worms, crustaceans, small fish and amphibians. To feed axolotls need pomelteshit flesh around his mouth, then he would take her prey, and rushed to the tasty slice. In principle, the axolotl temper quite peaceful and can contain a few individuals, and the better to make a band bandstop them to each other, since they do not like to be seen. If you move the axolotl in a dry and cool climate or to lower the water level in the home breeding, he turns into an adult ambistomu. The transformation of the axolotl in ambistomu can also cause added to food or injections of the hormone thyroxine. Transformation can occur within a few weeks, apparently it is characterized by the disappearance of external gills, change the body shape and coloring.

Feline shark (Scyliorhinidae) often has a very bright color, usually they have two dorsal fins, one of which is located above the pelvic fins or slightly behind them. Only representatives of one genus (Pentanchus), in contrast to other lamnoobraznyh sharks have a single dorsal fin. Family includes 14 genera and 60 species of small sharks, reaching 50-150 cm in length. Mainly distributed in coastal shallows, but there are some feline species of sharks living at considerable depths. Almost all kinds of bad heat transfer in tropical waters occurs only Indian cat shark. Usually the cat sharks inhabit the relatively cool water continental shelf in the temperate zone, and rarely appear in the coastal zone of tropical areas. Dwells at the bottom of a shark in shallow coastal zones, eats mainly benthic invertebrates – crustaceans, worms, mollusks, and sometimes even fish.

In our waters can be found chernorotuyu cat shark, known for instance, conveyed more than a century ago from the shores of the Kola Peninsula. This shark, whose length is not than 1 m, is found in coastal waters off the bottom and rarely goes deeper than 400 m. It feeds on small fish and crustaceans. The family cat shark is also a California Inflationary shark (Cephaloscyllium uter), which directly can contemplate in Alushta Aquarium:. Distributed by this shark in coastal waters off the Pacific coast of Mexico and the United States. It's pretty brightly painted in yellow-brown color and has dark spots and stripes on the body. It feeds on fish, sometimes catching a fairly large prey.

Reaches 1 m in length. The most fascinating fact related to that species of sharks, is that, being extracted from water, the shark can swallow air and strong inflate their bellies 3-4 times, which gives it a very strange look. Occasionally there were inflated shark spotted floating on the water surface. Among the deep-sea representatives of the family may be noted black cat sharks (genus Apristurus), their There are about 16 species. This is a small shark, a length of about 60 centimeters. Black cat shark has a broad flattened head, resembling in shape a shovel. They all have dark brown or almost black color. Found in all oceans, they live at the bottom and are usually caught at depths of 600-1500 m. It is not necessary to be afraid of the cat shark, there is no danger of human life they represent. Commercial value of their very low. Common cat shark is edible and rarely attracts the attention of fisheries. Range: Common cat shark inhabits the shores of Europe (up to the coast of Norway). It is also found in the Mediterranean and Marmara seas, where sometimes comes and the Black Sea. Different kinds of cat shark found in temperate zones of waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Breeding: Breeding occurs in spring. Almost all cat sharks lay their eggs on the bottom, enclosed in a solid horn capsule, but among them are known and yaytsezhivorodyaschie species for which egg development occurs in the oviduct females up to complete resorption of the capsule and the yolk sac of the embryo. The female lays from 2 up to 20 eggs which are closed in a firm capsule, which is called the 'mermaids purses'. This capsule is equipped with spikes to attach to the bottom. Period of development of a baby about 1 year.
