Pterofillum the scalar caused a sensation, and he was baptized the king of aquarium fish. Attitude

Scalar | Fish farming and fishing
In the writings of the famous ichthyologist, professor at Leipzig University, author of many books on aquarium, Dr. Günther Sterba said that angelfish in 1909. were brought to Europe. This is a mistake. In domestic literature on aquarium and crept another error: angelfish saladetuin breeding date - 1911. In fact, in 1911. only managed to drop off the first European living angelfish. Striking confirmation of this are the words of the outstanding Russian aquarist and editor of the "Aquarium and houseplants" Karl Karlovich Gippius, saladetuin visited Germany in April 1911. for exploring the hatchery Berlin and Hamburg: "This is extremely interesting fish was brought to Hamburg this year, but, but, unfortunately, she could not bear the long voyage, saladetuin and therefore travel to Europe has been in formalin" ("Aquarium and houseplants" , 1911, page 876). Paul Arnold in the journal Wochenschrift fur Aquarien und Terrarien - Kunde , VIII, 52, in the article "Pterofillum scalar. Lovely import saladetuin 1911 "tells the story of a fish belonging to the family of cichlids, which was brought in October 1911. The article is illustrated picture saladetuin of the author. In 1912. in the first issue of the newsletter "Blatter fur Aquarien und Terrarien - Kunde Arthur Rahim, referring to the Vienna Shtayndahnera ichthyologist, argues that the scalar pterofillumy saladetuin found in large quantities in the Amazonian waters, but due to the fact that these fish could not drop off alive it has been suggested that they are at home are rare.
In live form continues Rahim, was brought in October last year a single instance, but the fish died a few days later. saladetuin In November, the obtained new import angelfish, and shortly before that a couple of these fish and brought Kuntsshman Krepak.
Pterofillum the scalar caused a sensation, and he was baptized the king of aquarium fish. Attitude to this fish was the same care and attention as it is today to discus. In 1912. V. Kempe, despite the high prices (400 marks each), yet gained in Germany angelfish, which successfully drove to Russia. In September, 1913. 4 copies brought M.Zorin. Pterofillum fond of Russian aquarium, and they call it a crescent, less swallow. Another year passed, but neither in Russia, nor in another European country angelfish not given offspring. This fact says chairman of the St. Petersburg Society of aquarists A.A.Nabatov in his book "Freshwater Aquarium", 1914 (p. 439). But already in 1916. N.F.Zolotnitsky book "Aquarium lover" told about R.scalare spawning, which occurred twice in Paris aquarist Wisse, but both times caviar whitened (p. 256). Was the first to breed small Pterophyllum, imported in 1924. German firm Eimeke . Ichthyologist Ahl described it as a new species - Pterophyllum eimekei. If the species name scalare (ladder) comes from drawing hard rays of the dorsal fin, gradually rising up like a staircase, then Pterophyllum saladetuin means "winged leaf". R.eimekei R.scalare differ from the size and the characteristic fatty deposit on the forehead. But in 1967. Leonard P.Shults on material taken in nature and in the aquarium, proved that R.eimekei can not be considered a separate species, although some ichthyologists, for example, Dr. Werner Ladigez believe that if it is not an independent view that at least a subspecies of P. scalare. In our country the first angelfish were divorced in 1928. A.Smirnov (in Europe, according to Dr. A. Oliva - in 1925.).
Interesting circumstances under which spawning occurred. In the evening, saladetuin when the couple left the theater Smirnov, strongly flared warmer and the temperature in the tank has risen to 32 . After returning from the theater, they saw the spawning fish. But especially successfully started breeding angelfish after 1948. When A.V.Molchanov at the fish Moscow Zoo began mass breeding. He taught himself and learned from experienced aquarists Moscow A.V.Molchanov, S.G.Ionov, B.A.Fedorov, V.M.Maranchak, G.I.Kretov and other angelfish breeding method brought to perfection. In 1956. Carl Bushendorf of Hera (GDR) by artificial saladetuin selection was vualevoj form angelfish. Soon Zooobedinenie got to Moscow fans 29 copies. His observations on keeping and breeding veiltail skvlyary V.M.Maranchak shared in the collection of articles "Aquarium" (1960). New Mutation-scalar black Ludwig appeared in Deytroyte, saladetuin Michigan (USA), and fixed in 1957. In the USSR, it has delivered S.V.Obraztsov and exhibited at the Moscow exhibition of aquarium fish in 1959. Soon B.A.Fedorov successfully spread black angelfish, saladetuin and it seemed that this elegant fish and aquariums saladetuin will forever remain amateurs.
In addition, later appeared in a fine black V.N.Kuskova saladetuin scalar with transparent "little saladetuin windows" on the tail. Now in Moscow spotlessly black
