Chapter 718: Aquarium
Rena went to appease and encourage the aggrieved clerk, but Zhang Zi'an took a few steps back and whispered to Fina: "Why are you reacting so much?
After the Chinese customer took the ball python away, Fina's eyes turned to the other snakes in the store, such as the golden python and the green tree python, and her eyes were as cold as knives.
Fina glanced at him and said in a cold tone: "This palace hates snakes the most, every snake deserves to die!"
Zhang Zi'an was stunned when he heard this, but then it occurred to him that it was rumored that Cleopatra died of a snake kiss at the end of her rope, and the ending of the movie was also based on this, is this why Fina hates snakes?
Without waiting for him to think about it, Reyna beckoned in front of her, "Jeff, come here, I'll show you around the aquarium." ”
"It's coming. ”
He answered, squeezing Fina's eyes and motioning for her patience, and walked briskly over to her.
Zhang Zi'an was startled as soon as he came to the aquarium area. At the entrance to this place stood an oversized fish tank, almost a wall, which he had never seen before. The most puzzling thing is that there is only one fish in such a large tank.
However, after seeing what kind of fish it was, he was even more shocked, because it was a white sturgeon about thirty or forty centimeters long, although it was not a Yangtze white sturgeon, but a European white sturgeon, but it was also extremely rare, and it was almost extinct in the wild due to people's pursuit of caviar.
Labeled as Poland, this white sturgeon costs up to 4,000 euros and is a well-deserved star among the aquariums of the shop.
Its pale gray body, streamlined appearance, and eyes small enough to mistake them for nostrils, moving quickly through a fish tank like a puff of smoke.
In fact, there are some small fish in this tank, but they are obviously the food of this white sturgeon, which is chased by it like a sharp sword, bites it with its sharp teeth, and swallows it into its stomach at once.
Zhang Zi'an understood why only one fish was kept in such a large tank, because this fish could grow to two or three meters long.
"How about it, do you like the white sturgeon in my shop?" asked Reyna with great interest, "If you are interested, I can keep an eye out for the relevant information and help you find one, which will definitely attract a lot of customers to your pet shop." ”
"Like. Zhang Zian replied earnestly, "But no, I don't want to receive a free meal ticket for 20 years." ”
Behind this oversized fish tank is a small pebble pond, where hundreds of koi fish swarm around when they see someone approaching, poking their mouths out of the water, gurgling and spitting bubbles, stirring the surface of the water to boil like boiling water, red, white, yellow, black, several bright colors mixed together, it looks very beautiful.
As they moved, the koi fish shifted ground and waited for their feeding, until they were far away from the pond before flicking their tails back to the bottom.
It seems that both Chinese and Germans like to raise koi fish.
In addition to koi, there are many other common tropical fish and cold-water fish, such as the German-bred three-lake cichlid is the top in the world, and the German fish farm selects the richly colored three-lake cichlid fish to repeatedly purify, and at the same time constantly introduces new bloodlines to avoid too close breeding, so that the birth of the three-lake cichlids is by no means comparable to the high-priced three-lakes cichlids sold by domestic online stores through feed dyeing.
There are two main directions for ornamental fish in the world, one is the breeding line led by Germany, and the other is the natural line led by Fuso. The German system focuses on optimizing the bloodline of freshwater fish, while the Japanese system focuses on maintaining the original ecology in the wild state, and it is precisely because of this that the price of the German aquarium is more expensive than the Japanese one. China's domestic ornamental fish market is more Japanese.
There are not only fish in the aquarium, Zhang Zi'an also saw a strange creature that looks like a fish but has limbs, and a lizard but has gills. It is pale pink in color, innocent and lovely in its eyes, and its fat body is completely disproportionate to its delicate limbs, the most obvious sign of which are three pairs of feathery gills on the left and right sides.
The label of the fish tank says that it is a newt, made in Mexico.
Listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016 and classified as "critically endangered", this rare animal sells for €9.99 a piece.
If you keep a few of these things at home, they will definitely attract more attention than those golden and silver dragons that are so expensive that they can make the jaws of the visiting guests drop.
This animal can not only be kept as a pet, but also an important object for scientists around the world to study tissue repair and development due to their excellent ability to regenerate severed limbs.
It's a pity that you can't sell it casually in China or raise it casually, of course, if you raise it secretly, try to keep a low profile, don't just post it in the circle of friends.
In 2017, there was also a news that "a flower and bird store in Xiamen sold 'dinosaurs' American American newt" on Xinhuanet, Zhang Zi'an didn't want to be famous in this way, for example, - in the form of "shocked! The manager of the pet store who was mad actually sold American American newt for huge profits, and was thrown into prison and stabbed by 10,000 people in chrysanthemums......
Zhang Zi'an followed Rena around the aquarium area, but he soon noticed a problem, that is, most of the aquariums here are freshwater tanks, and there are few seawater tanks, don't Germans like to raise saltwater fish?
He threw the question to Rena.
"No, no, Jeff, you're mistaken. "It's just that we don't have any more aquariums here." ”
However, the entire second floor is almost full, and there is no more space.
"Remember what I just said?" she laughed, "my father retired to the seaside and left the shop to me, but he was not completely idle, but specialized in the sale of marine fish and equipment. If you're interested, I can tell you his address, and you can visit him sometimes—he's a bit of a weird temper, but he's a nice guy. ”
Zhang Zi'an pondered, whether it is the American blunt newt or the white sturgeon, it is not something he can raise or sell, and freshwater fish such as the Three Lakes cichlid have been tossed by domestic online stores, so it is better to try saltwater fish, at least there are not too many taboo things in saltwater fish.
It's not early today, and before I know it, the whole morning has passed.
In the afternoon, there will be a pre-rehearsal of the opening ceremony, and if you don't go back, Director Feng Xuan may be in a hurry.
So he asked Rena for her father's address and contact information, and was ready to try his luck when the festival was over, and of course he didn't forget to settle the bill for Feimas's life-expensive sunglasses - the three-piece goggle set was given to Feimas by Rena, and the sunglasses still had to be paid for by himself.
