A breeding station for the 21st century. Rapportage He is author of many statues, several books, the famous Czech propagator of marine aquaristic. He initiates regular seminars of marine aquaristists with great experience and he is also the peak breeder, who bred like the first Altolamprologus calvus or Petrochromis trewavasae. He began to engage in the 90th in the fully new discipline – marine aquaristic. Until that time was breeding of the marine animals in periphery of interest in our country and business exists only with the animals from Adriatic Sea. Mr. Darbujan became the adviser and he created the marine aquariums. Later he established an importing station of the marine animals.

His breeding and importing station is among the best ones in our republic. Let’s go and look at it! The equipment is located is the single one-floor building with a flat roof. Sunshine is coming through skylights and it helps to nice colors of the fish, to their condition and to their reproduction. No metal is in station. There are only glass stands, which are in the fact only stick aquar- iums, which stay one on the other. The sides are by 25cm higher then aquariums and the upper aquarium is stick on these sides even to the 4th floor. The bottom sides hold the three aquariums above. Who engaged anytime in marine aquaristic or who bred Cichlids of the great East African lakes, knows without doubts name of Ing. Hynek Darbujan. You can come to the station either through an office or directly through a cargo ramp. It is rather large for our country, all in all aquariums content about 50 thousands of litres. It means – no rust and big reduction of finance. The cleaning and disinfection are very simple and you can’t room for stands.

Who engaged anytime in marine aquaristic or who bred Cichlids of the great East African lakes, knows without doubts name of Ing. Hynek Darbujan.
You can come to the station either through anoffice or directly through a cargo ramp. It israther large for our country, all in all aquariumscontent about 50 thousands of litres.
It means – no rust and big reduction offinance. The cleaning and disinfection are verysimple and you can’t room for stands.
It is necessary to have some helpers, as the station is rather large. Mostly breedersemploy their family members, but the owner of this station prefers work of handy women.The women’s hands are absolutely without competition – in the whole station is order andcleanness. The work is easier through various innovations. F.e. two-way filter from bioaquacite,which is cleaned itself by every change of water and it is not necessary to clean it. Thefilters are in all big tanks.

Behind the last row of the aquariums are located large content tanks, where the water is temporized,where substances from water sediment and chlorine naturally evaporates.You can take in by the view from higher level airy luminosity and efficient performance of the station.A lot of sunshine is here thanks to skylights above corridors. More, below skylights is in the wholelength ramps with lights and ventilators.

90cm wide corridors are among the stands. It is veryimportant detail. Cleaning, feedingor catching is very comfortable and more, sunshine isenough even for the lowest aquariums
Service lines of air and water are usual. Nevertheless, it is seen in the picture, how it isserviceable and easy to survey.

The young Cichlids are here after leaving of their parent’s mouth, the small fish of otherkinds have better luck and they live together with their parents (f.e. Tanganjika specieNeolamprologus falcicula syn. cygnus). No incubators are here for the fish eggs andlarves.
As the breeding hall is large enough, the aquariums with the collection of Tanganjika Cichlidsof family Cyatopharynx are here too. Two kinds in five colors are here at this time.
I took pictures of three from them. But no photo is able to show beauty of the fish indaylight.
Cyathopharynx furcifer “Kabogo” is in the picture. Down thera is Cyathopharynx furcifer"Kabogo"

Of course, there are efficient dehumidifiers there.
Except the main breeding hall and the office are still in the building the room for technicalsupport (support power station, source of compressed air, freezers and stock of transportboxes) and the smaller breeding hall with another smaller aquariums.

The fish of family Aulonocara live in lake Malawi a little deeper than most of usualbred Cichlids. That’s why their eyes are bigger and adapted on worse lightconditions. Females are grey, silver or brown, but beauty of Males is unbelievable.The following pictures are only small examples of many kinds and shapes in thebreeding station. The more famous is Aulonocara stuartgranti, named by the well-known exporter of the fish from Malawi. The blue form “Ngara” is in the picture.
Dominant yellow or black discoloration with metallic shine is typical for kinds living inlakeUkerewe (Victoria’s lake). It is very difficultto correct determine the fish there thanks torapid evolution and thanks to today rapid dieing out and mutual crossing, which iscaused by change of living conditions. The fish in the picture is called in business Astatotilapia nyerei “Ruti Island”, but the correct scientific name is probably Pundamilia nyerei.
Aulonocara kandeensis ( apart of the scientifists are almost sure,
that this nice black specie is onlysubform of Aulonocara maylandi
kandeensis.)
Aulonocara sp. Eureka appropriate to Aulonocara sp. Mamelela the group of specie A. jacobfreibergi.

Other interesting fish is blue-black Fossorochromis rostratus. The males occur in the lake in the big shoals. Horizontal and perpendicular dark gratings on the silver sides are typical for them.

Astatotilapia sp. “Yellow belly” is another lovely fish, which was recently imported. (photo up left).
Cichlids from lake Tanganjika are most numerous in the aquariums. It is nonsence to name allkinds of them here, but I can show at least two from them, Tropheus moorei and T. duboisi, orsand Cichlid from family Xenotilapia and Enantiopus. Gay discoloration of the Males ofEnantiopius melanogenys (shoal of them is in the picture above) is evident in the time ofimpression. At that time is more expressive wide black margin of fins and yellow head.

Ing. Hynek Darbujan is the person, who realized his dream. He has job, which is interesting forhim, which feeds him and in which he is reputable specialist. He visited several times Africa in thelast time and he watched, took photos and caught Cichlids in their natural world.He imported even some new forms of the fish. He tries hard to create optimal conditions foracclimatization of the imported fish and for their reproduction in his breeding station. QualityIs in the first place. The advanced attention is paid to choice of the fish parents, quality offeeding and purity.
