Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkuhlatshwa kudinga udokotela. Ukufa kuyivelakancane kakhulu.
Uma sihlaba
- Faka inxeba emanzini ashisayo, ashisa ngendlela umuntu angakwazi ukuyibekezelela ngaphandle kokusha (yihlole ngesandla sakho), imizuzu engama-30 kuya kwengama-90. Thola usizo lwezokwelapha, ikakhulukazi kuma-stonefish nama-stingray.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso
Its natural range was once cut off from the upper Paraná basin by the Guaíra Falls. After the Itaipu Dam was built, the falls disappeared, which let this species and several others spread into that area.1
Its spotted pattern is so variable that one pattern was once described as a separate species, P. castexi, and another as P. menchacai. All of these are now treated as variants of this species.1
It is sometimes kept in aquariums, but it needs a very large tank because of its size.1
