Chapter 443: Lucky Crocodile

The flower and bird exhibition is a bit big, divided into several areas, animals and plants, and animals are also divided into those on the road and those in the water. Wei Hang and the two went straight to the fish exhibition area.

In the middle of this area, there is a very imposing central shared space that rises to four floors, and five huge fish tanks decorate the shared space like an aquarium museum.

In the fish tank in front left, more than 300 red parrot fish and Fortuna fish swim, all of them the size of a palm, and from a distance they look like a slow-moving fireball. In the fish tank on the right front, there are 10 huge Taidao dragon and phoenix koi, the largest of which is 60 centimeters long and weighs 10 kilograms. The koi fish, one by one, swim unhurriedly, plump pectoral fins and tail fins, like the skirts of noble ladies in ancient times, and their every move is full of manners.

In contrast, in another fish tank behind it, hundreds of golden river tigers from the Amazon River in South America are like a group of rampagers, shuttling back and forth, refracting a piece of silver light.

And the few flying phoenixes mixed in it are calm and atmospheric, just like their patriarchs. In autumn and summer, watching these fish quietly is refreshing.

"Brother, do you know all these fish?" Zhang Xueru asked curiously.

Gradually, she called Brother Wei Hang directly. This makes it more intimate, and Weihang likes to listen to it. A man always likes women to call him brother.

"Basically, I know, the parrot fish and the God of Wealth fish here are basically a hundred or dozens of dollars a piece. However, these are all very good quality individuals, and they can generally be sold for thousands of dollars. Well, the parrot fish, do you see, the leader in front should be the patriarch and the king, and there are people who want tens of thousands of dollars. Weihang introduced.

The koi is also the best, the dragon and phoenix koi, which is very rare, and there are people who grab one or two million.

These five vats are already worth millions, or even tens of millions. No wonder, some people say that the flower and bird exhibition here is famous throughout the country. On such a large scale, can it not be famous?

"Isn't this the kind of fish you picked up at the beginning?" Zhang Xueru said suddenly, pointing to the front.

Wei Hang looked over, it was a stingray, there are several varieties, all of which are of high value, such as emperor stingrays, stars and so on.

The kind that Zhang Xueru refers to is the starry sky, and the black disc body is dotted with white dots, which is its biggest feature, and the black and white two-color system that will never fade away. As a result, black and white rays have become the most popular fish species in the market.

"This is the stingray, and what we see now, is basically the most precious species. In the market, it is generally a few thousand dollars. However, it is very rare to show that there are tens of thousands of pieces, or even hundreds of thousands. Wei Hang said carefully to Zhang Xueru.

The relationship between the two is very plain and unpretentious. But very sincere, true, perhaps, this is the love of the countryside. It doesn't need to be romantic. It doesn't need to be vigorous and unpretentious, that's precious.

Stingrays are cartilaginous fishes like the sand fish we all know, accounting for only 5% of the world's total fish stock. Their most important feature is that except for the teeth, which are hard bones, the rest of the main bones are composed of cartilage shapes.

The Amazon River in South America is the birthplace of the living freshwater stingray, as the early Amazon basin was a sea. And there are a lot of saltwater fish living there. Later, as the water level of the sea slowly decreased, the Amazon River also slowly desalined and became a freshwater river, and the marine rays enclosed in the Amazon River also slowly evolved into the current freshwater stingrays with the desalination of the Amazon basin.

"What about this?"

"That's the leopard ray, named because of the leopard-like pattern on the body, belongs to the large South American stingray, healthy and easy to raise, is an out-and-out big stomach, the body color is mostly coffee, the dots are small and dense and dense, evenly distributed. ”

Listening to Wei Hang's explanation, although she didn't listen to the professional knowledge at all, Zhang Xueru enjoyed the process very much and stole honey. That's what it's like to be in love.

Looking down, they found a very strange fish.

"Crocodile?" Zhang Xueru's eyes flashed.

It is a fish with a head that resembles a crocodile and a body that resembles a fish, and the whole body of this fish is silvery white, and its expression is serene.

"Lucky crocodile, right?" even Weihang was a little uncertain.

At this time, an old man next to him raised his thumb appreciatively.

"Young man, I have seen a lot! There are very few people who can name these two guys now. That's right, this is the Lucky Crocodile, also known as the White Ghost Rocket, which is the ancestor of the crocodile, and there are only a few dozen left in the world, which are about to become extinct. The old man said.

You know, crocodiles are brothers and sisters of dinosaurs, and the big dinosaurs have been extinct for so long, and they still live well on the earth. And this fish in front of me is still the ancestor of crocodiles, how old is this!

"Isn't that valuable?" Zhang Xueru was very surprised.

There are only a few dozen left in the world, and they must be precious.

"Yes, you know? I don't buy this fish, so you don't know what the price is. The old man shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

He knew that this fish was very edible, and there were few natural predators in nature, and it was the only one that ate anything else. It is said that even if it is a man-eating pomfret in front of it, it can only be used as a snack. It's no wonder that people have lived for so long, not without means.

As far as Wei Hang knows, this fish, also known as the alligator gar or the big gar, is very ferocious. The scales are diamond-shaped, hard scales that are said to have been used by American Indians as gemstones.

The alligator gar is a carnivorous fish, which is extremely destructive, and if released into natural waters, it will bring disaster to the local water ecosystem, "as long as it is a living creature in the water, it will eat almost everything". Moreover, its eggs and flesh are highly poisonous. If a person provokes it, or if it is frightened, it will attack the human.

"This kind of fish is too dangerous to put in the wild, unless there is no place where there is no human track. Wei Hang said.

"Well, that's right, it's a bit dangerous. The old man nodded, he still appreciated Wei Hang's knowledge, and the young man had this ability to understand, which was very strong.

Anyone who knows this fish knows that the alligator gar is a primitive fish, with the earliest fossil record dating back 150 million years.

The fish's ability to last for centuries is entirely due to its unique physiology, first of all, the alligator gar's swim bladder has evolved a lung-like function to breathe air. This allows the fish to survive for more than two hours after leaving the water, effectively coping with the common water shortage in the process of vicissitudes.

Moreover, the eggs of the alligator gar are highly poisonous, and any warm-blooded animal that feeds on the eggs will soon die, and over time there will not be many predators who dare to harm them, which ensures the safe hatching of the eggs to a certain extent;

"How is this kind of fish put out, is there anyone still interested?" Zhang Xueru couldn't quite understand.

Weihang understands that the reason why it can be treated as a pet and enter the eyes of pet lovers should be optimistic about the characteristics of this kind of fish that do not refuse to come and "eat all the sizes", hoping that he will also swallow clouds and spit out fog like them and expand their financial resources.

After listening to Wei Hang's opinion, the old man clapped his hands and smiled: "Young man, you are right, that's right, haha!"

However, he then smiled a little strangely: "That's why everyone gave the alligator gar a nice name - 'Jufu Crocodile', but most of the breeders did not get rich from it, but some of them were ruined by this fish." ”

Zhang Xueru couldn't cry or laugh, such a result is really ridiculous.

"So, now that this fish is found in the wild, people who know that it is powerful will immediately send it to the zoo, which will give the zoo people a headache. The old man said humorously.

There have been several such cases, and I heard that the manager of a zoo is still in a dilemma.

This fish is not very worried when it is young, but once it grows up, you have to prevent it from running out every day to make trouble, and if you are not careful, you don't know that the animal will fall into mold for eight lifetimes and be eaten innocently.

Various fish, crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles, birds, small and medium-sized mammals, and carrion. In terms of eating, this kind of guy is really not a picky eater, and if he can bite it, he will send it to his mouth.

The zoo, which is not very strong, really has to have a headache for its food.

"Young man, I have a stall over there, do you want to go and see it? The old man sent out an invitation.

Wei Hang smiled apologetically: "I also have friends over there, and they called me this time." If I don't wait a minute, I'll walk again, and maybe I'll pass by you. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" the old man was very indifferent.

After everyone said goodbye, Wei Hang took Zhang Xueru to the other end.

At this time, Gao Fei also called and asked where he was, whether he would leave, and so on.

"Wait, I'm on my way to the scene. You don't have to come here, I see you all. Wei Hang smiled at his phone.

When I came to that place, I found that the boss's stall was connected to Mr. Zheng's.

There are a lot of ornamental fish in Gaofei, and they are also more miscellaneous, generally all of which are worth more than 1,000 yuan, and only five are worth more than 10,000 yuan. And Zheng Lao's "goods" are very few, no more than ten. However, everyone else's is the best.

"Zheng Lao's flower arhat, someone has already sent out 660,000 just now. Goofy said with a little envy.

"Not sold yet?" Wei Hang was a little surprised.

"Sold, this number Zheng Lao also said that he had good intentions, six or six Shun. However, the goods are left here for the time being. Goofy explained.

This fish is red all over, and it is a sacred bird bathing in the fire, so it has this name. The plum blossom arhat mark on the classical beauty is the most distinctive of all the new fish species, and the tail to the fin is not only a dense line, but also expands to the head nodule, which is used as a turning point, and is scattered and printed on the back of the fish in five flowers. The dorsal fin is curved and shaped, the tail is semi-rounded, and there are small shiny stars on the body.

"It's called a classical beauty, it's beautiful!" Gao Fei introduced.

Because there are also many varieties of flower arhats, such as the one in front of you, as well as the blue moon star, the heart blooming, the seven stars with the moon and so on. (To be continued......)
