The Freshwater African Butterfly Fish - Butterfly or Dinosaur? Film 4K

Описание: In this film you can some infos and videos about African Butterfly Fish. The Butterfly Fish is an ancient and unchanged fish, and is referred to a true living fossil. These fish are said to have survived unchanged for 100 million years! Thats's why my Zenek, Butterfly Fish wants to be called Dinosaur, not Butterfly ;-) and this is the reason that at home my fish are known as dinosaurs :-) These fish can jump out of the water, and can even glide short distances. It is therefore very important to have a tight fitting top on the aquarium to stop the fish from jumping out.
They prefer still water, so filtration should not be too powerful. A shady, shallow aquarium is best, one that's only about 6 to 8 inches (15-20 cm) deep and loosely planted. They are happiest with more length and width to the tank, rather than depth. This gives them the large surface area where they naturally like to reside.
It' good to know that the African Butterfly fish Pantodon buchholzi was described by Peters in 1876. They are found in West Africa, Nigeria, Cameroons, Zaire. The genus name, Pantodon, is derived from the Greek terms "pan" meaning "all" and "odon" meaning "teeth", so together this literally means "all tooth". The species name "buchholzi" is a patronym. This fish species was named after the man who discovered it, Professor R. W. Buchholz. Other common names it is known by are Freshwater Butterflyfish, Butterfly Fish, African Butterfly Fish, and Butterflyfish. The species is NOT listed on the IUCN Red List.
This fish will normally be found at the surface hoover for prey. It has a unique ability to breath surface air and its swim bladder not only regulates buoyancy but also helps with gas exchange while breathing surface air.

Have a nice time enjoy my film!
