Chapter 432: Fox Fish
ps: It's been broken for so long, and I don't have the face to say anything to everyone, so I'm sorry to those persistent readers!
It took two hours to finally deal with everyone, Wei Hang breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was really not a person to deal with, so it was no wonder that he didn't mix well at the beginning. In today's society, everything is inseparable from communicating with people, and people with strong communication skills are often very popular.
When he came back, he saw the boss Gao Fei sorting out the treasures that others brought back to him, and next to him was Zheng Lao, an "expert" in ornamental fish.
He was changing the water for the fox fish, and he was very careful in his movements, for fear of angering the fox fish and being stabbed.
In appearance, the body of this family of fish is oblong and oval, with polar flattening. Small head. The snout is slightly pointed, or protruding into a tubular shape. The mouth is small and cannot be retracted. The eyes are large and dark, and the body color is varied, so it resembles a fox, so it is named.
Although the fish has the appearance of a "fox", it does not have the cunning and ferocity of a "fox", and has a gentle temper, but the spines on the dorsal and anal fins are sharp and poisonous, and when in danger, it will erect a poisonous backspur to make enemies stay away.
It was captured by those crew members and sold to Goofy for a profit.
Zheng Lao pointed out beside him: "Fox fish have no natural enemies, and they never attack other types of fish, they can be raised with all other fish species, but they are not friendly to other fox fish of the same kind." ”
In the artificial environment, it can be put into the reef tank for cultivation, which will not pose a threat to the coral, but the number should not be too large, and 1-2 tails are appropriate. Note that if not fed well, it will eat some of the hard and soft polyps in the reef tank.
In the aquarium, natural marine algae plants such as seaweed such as seaweed and kelp can be fed, as well as frozen vegetables and special synthetic feed.
"I saw the seaweed in the sea near Tangjia Village yesterday, and the quality is very good, no wonder even dugongs linger and refuse to leave. ”
That's the manatee. It is one of the oldest marine animals in the world and the only vegetarian in the ocean. Dugongs are commonly known as "mermaids" because female dugongs cuddle their cubs like humans when breastfeeding. Named after the milk part of the water, it is a national first-class endangered and rare mammal protected animal.
"So I want to build a breeding base here. Goofy nodded. Even the funds are ready.
Speaking of which, even Zheng Lao was a little moved. He likes the environment very much. At this time, I saw Wei Hang coming from a distance.
"Third child, you came just in time, Zheng Lao has something to look for you. Goofy laughed.
Wei Hang was a little surprised, he didn't have much intersection with this Zheng Lao, this is the second time they have met!
"What's the matter with Old Zheng?"
Zheng Laole smiled and said, "There is nothing particularly big. I just want to entrust you to help me keep an eye on several kinds of marine fish in the future, and help me catch a few when I meet them. ”
He had already inquired, this guy's ability to find things was first-class, and the experts in the Institute of Biology asked him for help one by one. What those people are looking for are almost all creatures that have not yet been discovered, or are about to become extinct, and Zheng Lao does not believe that he can't find some ornamental fish.
"If you encounter it, it's a matter of effort. However, Zheng Lao, don't expect too much, it is not difficult to find a marine fish in the ocean, and it is not easy to say that it is not easy. Or even a needle in the bottom of the sea. Wei Hang left a few points to speak.
Zheng Lao waved his hand, saying that it didn't matter, he understood the reason.
Subsequently. He went to his residence and found some information about the ornamental fish. Gao Fei also stole teachers on the side, during this time, he was learning from Zheng Lao, and with the help of Zheng Lao's connections, he could be regarded as gaining a foothold in this industry.
Wei Hang saw the little girl who spoke very interestingly again, which was the pearl of Zheng Lao's palm. The little girl actually slipped out with his grandfather to play.
"Brother, you're so much fun here. I was at the beach just now, and the baby dolphin kissed me!" He's an active Lord. It is precisely like this that gives Lao Zheng an unusually headache. I kind of regret taking her out.
"If it's fun, stay longer. Wei Hang touched the little girl's hair.
He didn't know that this little girl had already mingled with her goddaughter Beibei. has almost become the eldest sister of a group of little girls, which is quite imposing.
After a few words, Zheng Lao looked for an opportunity to take the little girl away before entering the topic.
He told Wei Hang that the marine ornamental fish mainly come from the coral reef waters in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, and there are many varieties with strange body shapes, rich body colors, extremely varied, good at hiding, and have a primitive and mysterious natural beauty. Common production areas include the Philippines, Taiwan and the South China Sea, Japan, Australia, Hawaiian Islands, India, the Red Sea, and the east coast of Africa.
Tropical marine ornamental fish are extremely diverse, they live in the vast oceans, many of which are inaccessible to people, and there are many species that have not been discovered by humans. Tropical marine ornamental fish is the most promising ornamental fish in the world, representing the future development direction of ornamental fish.
"Don't look at the general price of marine ornamental fish is not as high as freshwater fish, but I am optimistic about its prospects, and it will definitely be mainstream in the future. Zheng Lao said very confidently.
Gao Fei nodded admiringly on the side, he has also studied, now it is mainly limited to the conditions of breeding, the conditions of marine fish are a little harsh, and the technology will definitely develop greatly when the technology matures in the future.
In terms of unit price, there is really no comparison between marine fish and freshwater ornamental fish, and 10,000 thousands of saltwater fish are already high-end.
Among the freshwater ornamental fish, more than 10,000 are at most in the middle, and the top ones are tens of millions, such as Japanese koi.
The Japanese koi is a valuable large ornamental fish, and is known in Japan as a "living work of art", "living jewel in the water", and "king of ornamental fish".
The beauty of these koi fish is that as they age and the temperature of the water in their environment, the color and shape of their patterns change constantly, just like a special ink painting that you draw with your own hands. The top-grade koi are all one in a thousand, depending on the bloodline, skeleton, color, pattern, swimming style, etc. If the color is too mixed, it will be eliminated, which is similar to a beauty pageant, so that you can raise precious koi.
In Japan, koi fish are regarded as "sacred fish" and "national fish" because of their auspiciousness, peace, and longevity. Koi fish do not struggle even if they are placed on the chopping board, and they still have a fearless demeanor, which is in line with the spirit of Japanese bushido, so it is quite popular.
Therefore, koi fish are the most valuable in Japan, followed by China, and the market is also very large.
"Speaking of ornamental fish, I also caught an interesting one when I went out this time, do you want to come and see it?" Wei Hang suddenly remembered that in Haizhu, he found a very interesting sea fish, and it didn't hurt to take it out and share it.
Zheng Lao and Gao Fei both had bright eyes, knowing that it was difficult for ordinary things to enter this guy's eyes, and since they were caught, there must be something unique.
"You said it was interesting, so I really want to see it. Gao Fei hurriedly said
