I ka loaʻaʻana o nā meaʻai, ua loaʻa nā kuhukū,ʻaʻole iʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā pōpoki, nā'īlio a me nā kāleka. Akā naʻe,ʻaʻole iʻike nā kānaka a pau inā inā lākou e mālama pono a mālama i kēia mau holoholona, e lilo lākou i mau hoaaloha pono a me nā kauā o ko lākou mau haku. Hiki i ke kuhū ke lilo i pihalālā piha o kekahiʻohana. ʻAʻole ponoʻole kēia mau holoholona aʻaʻole e hoʻopilikia i ka wā i hoʻonohonoho ponoʻia ai nā kūlana noho.
ʻAʻole e like me nā holoholona'ē aʻe, nā lūlū ua lōʻihi ka lōʻihi ola. I nā kūlana maikaʻi, ua ola nā kuhukū no 30 mau makahiki. I ka hapanui o nā hihia,ʻo ka make mua o ka holoholona he hopena o ka mālama ponoʻoleʻia. ʻO ia ke kumu no ka nui o nā mea waiwai e pili ana i ka pehea e komo ai i kahi kuhū. ʻO ka mea mua, he mea pono e'ōlelo aku i keʻano o ka mālamaʻana i ka momona'āina a me ka wai. Ma kēiaʻatikala, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i nā kuʻuna i ka wai-ula a mālama iā lākou.
ʻO ka helu o nā kuhukū wai-ulaʻula
ʻO nā pāʻani uila-ulaʻula he mau meaʻai nui loa a he pili i nā kola wai. ʻO ka mālamaʻana a me ka mālamaʻana i ka ulana ulaʻula i ka home, he hana hoʻohenehene a me keʻano hoihoi. A ināʻoe e hahai i nā'ōlelo a nā poʻe akamai i nā kūlana o ka mālamaʻana i nā kolalaʻulaʻula, eʻoluʻolu ana kēia holoholona i nā paia o kou hale.
ʻO ka hopena maikaʻi loa,ʻo ia ka mālamaʻana i nā kolo uila-bellied i loko o kahi aquarium ākea. ʻO ka hapanui o ka manawa e noho ai kēia mau holoholona i loko o ka wai, akā, makemake lākou i ka'āina a me ka ea hou. No ka hanaʻana i kēia, pono e hoʻonohonoho i kahi moku kūikawā i ka aquarium, a ma luna o ia mea e kau i ke kukui'ōmaʻomaʻo. Pono e hoʻololi i ka wai i loko o ka aquarium i hoʻokahi manawa i ka mahina. No ka mālamaʻana i ka'ilu wai eʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻohanaʻana i ka wai kū.
He mea nui i ke olakino o ka'umeleʻulaʻula e pāʻaniʻia ma kaʻai pono. Pili kēia mau mea i ka protein a me ka paʻakai i kēlā lā i kēia lā. I loko o nā hale kūʻai puaʻa, hiki iāʻoe ke kūʻai i kahi hui kūikawā no ka hānaiʻana i kahi mūlū, akā ua'ōlelo nā kauka e hāʻawi i ka pipi me ka hoʻonui i nā meaʻai. No ka hoʻohālikelikeʻana i nā kūlana o ka mālamaʻana i nā kolalaʻulaʻula ma ka home i nāʻano kūlohelohe, pono e hānai mauʻia me ka iʻa. ʻO kahi iʻa liʻiliʻi e pono ai no ka hānaiʻana i nā lūlū, hiki ke hānaiʻia i nā puaʻa me nā iwi. Pono e hoʻokaʻawale muaʻia kahi iʻa nui. Hiki i ka iʻa momona ke hāʻawiʻia i nā kuhukukū, eʻaila ia a hiki i ka hapalua o kaʻaila. Ma keʻano he meaʻai, he mea ia e hāʻawiʻia i nā kuhukūʻulaʻula e hāʻawi aku i kaʻiʻo'ōpiopio, keʻohe liʻiliʻi, ka hoʻopiliʻana i ka aquarium. Pono pono e hānaiʻia i nā kola'ōpiopio-ulaʻula i kēlā me kēia lā,ʻo nā kānaka i piha i nā makahikiʻelua i hānai i nā manawa he 2-3 i ka hebedoma.
ʻO nā rula e pono e mālamaʻia ma ka mālamaʻana a me ka mālamaʻana i nā kola uila-bellied:
- ʻAʻole pono ka laumeʻa e hele ma ka papahele. Hiki iā ia keʻimi i ka anu i loko o ke kiʻi,ʻai i nā mea liʻiliʻi e moe ana ma ka papahele, eʻeha i kekahi meaʻoi aku;
- ʻAʻole pono ka hānai e hāʻawi pinepine i ka meaʻai - he paʻakikī kēia mea iā ia a heʻino no kona olakino;
- ʻAʻole hiki ke'ōhūʻia ka lūlū,ʻoiai inā ulu nuiʻia e ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi. Hiki i ka pele ke hanaʻino i kaʻili a hoʻohaumia i ka carapace o ka holoholona;
- Hoʻopiʻi ka'umelo wela. I kahi aquarium me ka'āinaʻole, hiki iā ia ke make;
- i ka mālamaʻana i ka mūkini ulaʻula,ʻaʻole e pono i kekahi ke hoʻohaumia i nā kīʻahaʻona likeʻole. ʻAʻole lākou e hāʻawiʻia i kekahi holoholona "ma kaʻike".
ʻO ka mālamaʻana a me ka mālamaʻana i nā koloʻulaʻula-kala,ʻaʻole ia e hana i nā kūlana kūpono no lākou. No kēia mau holoholona, hoʻohui nui aku me ka pūʻali nui. Hoʻoikaika wale nō ka huliʻana o ka pipi i kahi hoaaloha aloha no nā makahiki he nui.
