Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Blood Red Dragon
Zheng Lao told sù Weihang and others that there will be a large-scale exhibition of flowers, birds and fish in the provincial capital in a few days, and there will be many rare varieties at that time.
"Third child, do you want to go or not? Why don't you play here for a few days? Chen Jianliang saw that it was rare for the four buddies in the dormitory to gather together, and he really hoped that Weihang could stay longer.
Wei Hang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't have much interest, and I don't have such a big elegant birdfish." We are all from the same province, as long as we want to get together, when can't we get together for two meals?"
He wanted to make a few more trips to the sea now and make more money. It's a bit of a cliché, but he does need money at the moment.
Weihang was not interested, and others were naturally not in the mood to watch.
Zheng Lao was a little regretful, he could see that Wei Hang had the talent to develop in this area, but this kid seemed to like to fish more, I really don't know what he was thinking in his head? How hard is fishing? It's also a little dangerous.
No one knows that Weihang did this because of Haizhu. Only by being close to the sea can Haizhu's ability be fully realized. Getting this sea pearl, Wei Hang felt that it was his chance, and if he didn't make good use of it, the sky was thundering!
"Come, here, let's go see the red arowana first. Zheng Lao said.
Wei Hang lifted his spirit and followed Zheng Lao to the back. Coming to the front of a luxurious fish tank, a red arowana with blood-red scales appeared in everyone's eyes.
The blood red dragon is the supreme among the fish in the Arowana family, if the red Arowana is the nobleman in the Arowana, then the blood red dragon is the royal family, which is very noble.
Seeing this fish, Wei Hang saw that something was wrong. Generally speaking, the red arowana likes to swim in pelagic waters, but this one almost always swims to the bottom of the tank.
"This fish is very dazzling!Old Zheng, I'm afraid this one will cost two or three hundred thousand, right?" Yun Rulong leaned over to the edge of the fish tank.
Zheng Lao smiled and said nothing, and Wei Hang replied: "You underestimate this fish, don't look at its appearance first." With such a large blood red dragon, it is difficult to fight for it without more than a million. ”
He knew that this kind of blood red dragon was basically not available on the market. At the time of the fry, once the fish appears, it will be snatched up at a high price and will not enter the market at all.
Su Meng, Zhang Yuexin and others were dizzy. Although they have a small net worth, they still have to be cautious about buying a fish for millions. They looked left and right, and they thought the fish was beautiful, but they couldn't see that it was worth so much money.
"This fish is so expensive!" Zhang Xueru was the most shocking person.
Poor girl, a few months ago she was a working girl with a monthly salary of more than 2,000, and when she suddenly came into contact with this level of life, she always felt very unaccustomed, and felt that she was not from the same world as others.
Wei Hang nodded: "You just treat it as a slightly beautiful fish and appreciate it, there is no need to care about its price." We don't play fish, we just have a long experience. ”
In fact, this is the difference between insiders and outsiders, and whether they understand or not appreciate. Only in the eyes of insiders can the value of a thing be seen. It's like an antique, in front of an uninformed outsider, it may still be a hindrance.
"Can I catch it?" Wei Hang asked.
"Okay, be careful. Zheng Lao nodded, he had to check it carefully, and he had to catch it and take a good look. Before, those professionals were also caught up and scrutinized.
He told Sù Weihang that there was absolutely no problem with the water quality, and he personally checked it. This is weakly acidic, soft water with a normal pH and a temperature between 24 and 28, which is also the most suitable water temperature for Arowana. The nitrite content and chlorine content in the water are also strictly controlled, and the residue is very small.
These external factors can be ruled out, then it is likely that there is a problem with itself.
Zheng Lao was taken aback again, the red arowana was easily frightened, and they were all careful when changing the water, trying not to let it be frightened. However, in Wei Hang's hands, there was no struggle at all, and he seemed very well-behaved.
Wei Hang does not have advanced knowledge of treatment, but he has a simple diagnosis method, directly through Guò Haizhu to convey his inquiry to the red Arowana to see what the Arowana is uncomfortable with. As for the treatment, it is even simpler, the Arowana just now has a breath left, and he can save it with Haizhu.
The information conveyed by this blood red dragon made Wei Hang quite surprised, and he looked up at Zheng Lao.
"Didn't those people check for problems before?"
When Zheng Lao heard this, he was overjoyed, Wei Hang raised this question, and nine times out of ten he knew the reason. He nodded hurriedly, indicating that there was nothing wrong with it, and everyone felt that it was normal. It's just that when you look at the state of the arowana, everyone can see that it is not normal, which is a strange thing.
"Brother Wei, do you see the reason?" he asked urgently.
There is no reason for him not to be in a hurry, there are so many fish here, and the most precious thing is this blood red dragon, which was purchased by nearly two million, can he not care?
"This is a good thing, first of all, congratulations to Zheng Lao, but you will have a headache in the future. Wei Hang laughed.
Everyone can't understand the meaning of this, there is a problem with the Arowana, congratulations?
"How?"
"This blood-red dragon is pregnant. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary to make corresponding changes not only in the environment such as water quality, but also in the diet. The most troublesome thing is that Zheng Lao, you have to find a male fish and come back. In order to ensure the bloodline of its offspring, it is best to find an equally pure blood red dragon to return. Wei Hang put the Arowana back.
Everyone was stunned, and Zheng Lao reacted quickly, first happy, and then worried.
"No, right?, third child, how can you tell it's pregnant?" Yun Rulong questioned.
Su Meng was also a little puzzled, and said something that made people laugh and cry.
"This female hasn't mated with a male yet, why is she pregnant?"
According to normal thinking, there is nothing wrong with this statement. But for fish, almost all of them are pregnant out of wedlock, and the mother fish gives birth to eggs before fertilization. Some fish species don't even need to be mated, they can be fertilized in vitro, and the world is so strange!
Hearing Wei Hang's explanation, Su Meng's face turned red and he was slightly embarrassed. Subsequently, Wei Hang pointed out the characteristics of Arowana's pregnancy, and others were still skeptical, but Zheng Lao was convinced.
They hadn't thought in that direction before, and they always thought it was sick, so they ignored it. In addition, this period is not the spawning period of the blood red arowana, so it is also subconsciously filtered for this.
"Yes, it's a headache, it's not easy to find a blood red dragon that matches it, and it's so hasty. Zheng Lao smiled bitterly. He tried to remember, thinking that the aquarist had such a pure blood-red dragon smelt.
"It's not too late, I see that the arowana is about to ovulate. Wei Hang reminded.
