Zhang Zi'an actually doesn't know much about fish farming, basically all of them are based on the information he found after deciding to open an aquarium, plus the knowledge of asking Carl and Paul for benefits. When his parents used to run a pet shop, they only had two or three freshwater fish in the store, so they didn't have much experience in fish farming.

As they walked, Xiaoxue relayed to him the questions of the aquarists in the live broadcast room, and he was not as easy to answer as the questions of cats and dogs, and often needed to think about it before he could answer them. However, because the two of them are on foot, they need to avoid pedestrians and vehicles, and they have to shake their wits to fight back against the ridicule of netizens, neither netizens nor Xiaoxue can see that he is searching his stomach to answer questions.

Netizens are actually right, the people who open an aquarium in Binhai City basically open a house and lose one, and they basically don't even barely maintain a balance of payments, because opening an aquarium is too expensive, not to mention the price of fish tanks, equipment, materials and aquarium creatures, just the monthly electricity bill is a big expense.

The inventory cost of aquarium creatures is much larger than that of cats and dogs, but it is not as popular and popular as cats and dogs, and it is more expensive to lose more and make less money.

Zhang Zi'an's heart is also beating a drum, if he doesn't manage well, he may lose all the money he saved before.

The fish market's fishmongers try to keep their stocks to a minimum, and the fish that comes in this week must be sold this week, while trying to avoid fish death, by not feeding the fish and drugging the water, which is basically an open secret in the industry.

The two walked a few streets to the vicinity of the fish market.

Even though it was a weekday, since most of the elementary schools had not yet opened, parents with their children often came from the direction of the fish market.

Parents and children are happy with fish tanks in their hands and children in transparent plastic bags with one or two cheap cold-water fish in them, even though Zhang Zixin knows that most of these fish may die in a few days.

Children don't know how to raise fish and have no patience, I wish the fish would grow up in the blink of an eye, and I am afraid that the fish will be hungry, so they will frequently feed the fish, often feed the fish to death, even if they don't die, the water in the fish tank will be turbid in a few days, full of food residues, and finally die because of the deterioration of water quality.

Germany's strict pet keeping regulations can prevent this from happening, but if China follows suit, it is estimated that the fish market will be cool the next day.

"Is that the fish market over there? Xiaoxue tiptoed and looked away.

"I've never been here before. ”

Zhang Zi'an was also looking at the fish market.

The fish market is actually slightly more advanced than the dog market, the dog market is full of open-air stalls, probably because the pets sold there are relatively strong, not afraid of wind and rain, but the fish market actually has a three-story building that covers an area of not small, providing shelter for the settled businesses, it seems that the management is much more standardized than the dog market, and it may still not be able to avoid the situation of pit people, but at least it is not as unconscionable as the black-hearted merchants in the dog market.

At the entrance of the fish market, there is a rusty archway, which looks like it is some years old, and it reads "Binhai City Flowers, Birds, Fish and Insects Market".

Drip!

Behind them, car horns sounded.

They turned sideways to get out of the way, and a van loaded with all kinds of ornamental fish drove into the fish market, and stopped at the back of the fish market building, where several fishy-smelling workers came out to unload the fish tank after tank, and the long-waiting fishmongers rushed up to buy cheaper fish.

Around the three floors, there are also a few scattered fish vendors, selling cheaper fish, and the fish that the children carry in their hands may have bought from here.

Zhang Zi'an and Xiaoxue discussed a little, since they had come here, they simply went shopping, starting from these scattered stalls on the periphery.

As he expected, most of the fish sold at the scattered stalls were very cheap fish, also known as "practice fish".

According to the price from low to high, the difficulty of feeding from easy to difficult, the ornamental fish is divided into practice fish, commercial fish and boutique fish, the price of fine fish is not capped, and the specific boundaries are very blurred.

The vendors of scattered stalls are generally not professional fish sellers, but aquarists will take out their own breeding fry and small fish to sell, one is that they can't raise too many fish in their own fish tanks, and the other is to subsidize the family, the price of fish is often relatively low, relatively affordable, maybe you can also find a good quality.

"That's grass gold, that's koi, that's peacock, that's Mary...... These are training fish, very easy to raise, as long as there is a filter and a heating rod can be raised, if it is a cold-water fish, even the heating rod can be omitted. ”

They walked past the stalls, and Zhang Zi'an introduced the types of fish to Xiaoxue one by one.

"Little girl, how many can you buy? It's cheap and easy to raise. ”

Seeing Xiaoxue's pretty face and well-dressed, the vendors sold her fish to her.

"Wow, is this a koi? Fat Dudu is so cute!"

Xiaoxue squatted in front of a stall and was attracted by the koi fish sold at the stall, after all, the koi are fat and large, and they attract more attention than the peacocks and Marys, who are gorgeous but smaller.

This stall sells several colors of koi, golden, pure black, and red, white, yellow and black variegated koi, some of which are about 15 centimeters long, and they are quite fat, gurgling and spitting bubbles in the water.

What Xiaoxue was staring at was these fat koi.

"Little girl, do you want it? If you want it, it's cheap, take it for 70 yuan for 2 pieces. The vendor went out of his way to greet him.

These koi fish are the worst kind, and it is estimated that the price of cutting is 50 yuan for 2 pieces, but Zhang Zi'an didn't say anything, after all, it is not easy to set up a stall outside in the cold.

Xiaoxue just looks fresh, she doesn't really want to raise fish, her own snowball last time a claw shot the crucian carp caught by Jin Er away, she still remembers it vividly, worried that buying fish back to become Snowball's food or plaything.

When she had seen enough, she smiled and stood up and shook her head apologetically to the stall owner, saying no, and moving on.

"What are you doing over there? Is there a black-hearted profiteer cheating people?" she asked, pointing ahead.

There were several people around the stall, who seemed to be arguing loudly, a middle-aged woman with a child had a very high voice, the stall owner was scolded so much that he could not fight back, and several other people were also helping the middle-aged woman.

Since Xiaoxue went to the dog market with Zhang Zi'an last time, she hated those profiteers who dyed chickens or sold sick dogs as normal dogs.

"Don't rush to conclusions, let's go over and see. ”

Zhang Zi'an proposed.
