Chapter 575
The first two types of fish to put into the tank are naturally the mullet and salmon at home.
Even if you keep them at home all day long to eat their meat, you should let them live in a large luxurious fish tank.
Among these two types of fish, mullet is originally an ornamental fish.
And they are bottom-feeding fish and bottom-feeding fish.
The vegetation of the landscape in the glass fish tank grows vigorously due to the spiritual water.
If they are all carnivorous fish, the plants in the fish tank will grow wildly in a short time if left alone.
So mullet fish is essential.
Besides, this fish is pretty.
When the fish is small, it has four or five black stripes.
As it grows up, its hair color turns into carmine red, and it looks very beautiful when it swims around in the tank.
As for the Qinling fine-scaled salmon, this fish has a strange name, but it is actually very beautiful when kept in a transparent glass tank.
After all, they are fish left behind by the ocean on the continent.
Although the salmon is a stream fish and likes flowing water, Chen Ling has spiritual water to raise it, and there is no problem at all if it is raised in still water in the tank.
In addition, this fish does not grow very big, and the maximum is less than 30 centimeters. You can keep more in the tank, and it looks very good in groups.
As for the salmon being a carnivorous fish, that doesn't matter.
As long as you put some fry or wheat fish in it every day, you can just catch a big handful in the net, which is enough for them to eat.
After they are full, they rarely fight.
The mullet and squid breed in Zhuangzi very quickly. One after another, a pair of male and female can breed into a large number. When the whole fish group breeds, it will naturally be densely packed. Large groups of people.
In the first half of this year, Chen Ling deliberately went to sell it two or three times. He made a lot of money from it. He ate it often, but there was still a lot.
Chen Ling took the fishing net and opened the fine-hole wire mesh covering the fine salmon canal. When he dropped the net, there were densely packed fish, large and small. They were all alive and full of energy in such a large density.
If you fish it out in a net, half of it will jump out.
Chen Ling picked it up and specially selected some medium-sized fish among the fine salmon.
Put it in the bucket.
I went to raise mullet fish again and caught a net, specially selected small fish that had just grown from fry.
It is better to put fish in the fish tank, these small fish can enjoy the fun of raising them from small to large.
“But it’s really time to reduce the density of my two kinds of fish. Let Sun Yanhong transport some more another day. After the weather is no longer hot, the crayfish fever will also subside.
These fish are suitable for eating in pots when the weather is cool. They can temporarily replace crayfish."
Chen Ling secretly planned to put the picked mullet and squid into the fish tank.
Without taking a closer look, he hurriedly took the tiger and weasel outside to look for fish.
It's sunny today, but not completely.
The breeze is gentle, bringing with it the unique coolness of autumn.
The cicadas in the trees gradually became less and less audible.
Only the birds in the forest are still active.
It chirps non-stop, jumps among the branches and leaves, and jumps in the grass to catch insects.
Chen Ling carried the fishing net, and Ah Fu and Ah Shou each held a bucket in their mouths and walked along their own canal. From the canal to the river at the foot of the back mountain, Chen Ling would fish out the net from time to time to see if there were any. An unexpected bonus.
If there is something suitable for the tank, put it in the bucket first.
If it doesn’t fit properly and it pops out again after being caught in the net, then it will be eaten by tigers and weasels.
They all like to eat fish, but they don’t treat it as a meal, just snacks. It’s a good change of taste.
We strolled back and forth between the canal and the river. Among the larger fish, there were the most peach blossom fish, and among the small fish, there were more catfish.
The catfish are not bad, their hair color is beautiful and colorful, and it is fun to put a group of them in the tank.
Peach blossom fish is also called horse mouth, and this fish is a bit fierce.
After entering the tank, any fish smaller than it will have no chance of survival.
These are wild fish that come from rivers and streams. If they are not fished for a period of time, there will be more fish than the domestic fish raised by Chen Ling.
But Chen Ling never cared, as long as he entered the area near Zhuangzi, it was his fish.
Drink his water, eat his food, and sell them at the same price.
So except for ferocious fish like the big cocked mouth, he doesn't care about all the fish swimming over.
Walked around along the canals and rivers.
After picking and choosing, many fish feed at night, and I couldn’t pick any good fish during the day.
Simply returned to the small fish pond near the small water tower.
Here are three small ponds where Chen Ling raises ornamental fish.
There are various types of goldfish, koi, and flower handkerchiefs. The flower handkerchiefs are the fighting fish caught from Fenglei Town.
These are the most popular ornamental fish, and they are naturally beautiful.
Furthermore, Chen Ling has also cultivated several batches of good goldfish and koi this year, both in the outside world and in caves, with all kinds of shapes and weird shapes.
There are even mutated luminous fish.
The reason why I didn’t immediately want to put them in the tank.
It’s also because most of the two types of fish, goldfish and koi, have rectal bodies, so they eat more and pull more.
You can raise it yourself in a water tank, a sink, or even a celadon tank.
This is an original tank, not so particular.
Fish feces can also be part of promoting the original ecological cycle of the fish tank.
He cherishes the many beautiful and exquisite artificial landscapes in the glass fish tank.
Besides, the goldfish and koi will also eat vegetation.
But when I came to these three ponds, I saw that some of the fish among the fish were so outstanding and beautiful that it would be a pity not to put them in the tank.
Chen Ling gritted his teeth: "It's better to pick some and put some in for fun. Even if the destructive ability is strong, I will rebuild the landscape at worst. Anyway, there is plenty of spiritual water, so we are not afraid of anything."
What he set his sights on was a pure black koi carp.
This fish was mixed in with the fish, wagging its head and tail in a very domineering manner. When Chen Ling saw it, he wanted to fish it into the tank.
Big fish such as koi are different from groups of catfish and squid, so they should not be put into the tank too much.
The first one is enough.
All that's left is to choose the goldfish.
The water in the pond is usually green water.
After the rain, algae die in large numbers and the water becomes much clearer.
It was easy for Chen Ling to choose, and he ended up choosing two mutated panda-colored black and white fish.
The most eye-catching fish in this batch is the panda-colored dragon eye fish.
A pair of bulging eyes are two small black balls, like panda ears.
The body and tail alternate between black and white, and the belly shows a large area of white, very much like a panda.
This colorful fish does not look good in ecological tanks such as livestock troughs and water tanks.
You still have to put it in a glass jar.
Other red, yellow, and various patterns of koi and goldfish don’t look good in a large tank, so it’s better to put a group of small luminous fish.
As for those colorful handkerchiefs.
Chen Ling thought about it and refused to let go for the time being.
These fish fight very well, and what's more, fish like betta fish have a special characteristic. They are very lively in small fish tanks, but they don't like to move in big fish tanks.
What fun is there if you don’t like swimming?
"Well, that's it for now, and then I'll put two cedar fish in. There are caves in the mountain scenery I created, and they can drill...and put two more river clams and mountain snails in the tank. Eat fish dung in it..."
Chen Ling thought about what else to put in: "By the way, there are also shrimps and crabs, some river shrimps and river crabs, and there must be shrimp soldiers and crab generals."< br>
When I was fishing along the channel just now, I caught some shrimps and crabs.
The crabs were fine, but the river shrimps were so fast that they bounced off as soon as the net was lowered.
So there are relatively few fish caught, and many are about to shed their shells.
"When I send Ah Fu and Ah Shou back to the city, I will go to the lynx to catch two deep water turtles. By then, the Prime Minister Turtle will also be there. That scene will be awesome."
Chen Lingchang thought.
Then we continued fishing for catfish, shrimps and crabs. After fishing, look for mountain snails and small river clams by the stream.
Waiting like this, I think the quantity is enough.
Go home later and slowly put it into the tank.
At this time, the mullet fish and the squid were already swimming around and exploring in this large fish tank.
There are not many mullet fish, only four or five small fish, the largest one is only half a stick long.
Keep touching and pecking lightly with your mouth on the 'green grass' at the bottom of the fish tank.
On the other hand, there are thirty or forty salmon in the middle of the water layer in the fish tank, half as long as they are, gathering in groups and swimming back and forth.
Chen Ling looked at the groups of salmon and planned to put a group of catfish in first to see the effect.
The giant catfish is originally a small fish.
Smaller than immature fish such as salmon and mullet.
It was only about three or four centimeters, and Chen Ling put hundreds of them in at once. They were swimming in the tank, and the scales of the small fish were shining.
Although they are all schooling fish, being in the tank with a group of slender salmon at the same time does not seem chaotic.
Mainly different sizes.
If the trout are like a swarm of mosquitoes, then the trout are like a swarm of small flying insects.
In addition, they each like different water layers, so they will not gather together to form a group.
You go your way, and I go mine, without getting in each other's way.
These little catfish are still very active. Not long after entering the tank, they ran into various small buildings at the bottom of the tank, crawling in and out.
Sometimes they will gather in groups and swim across the ‘mountain’ to reach another corner of the world at the bottom of the tank.
Chen Ling put the shrimp and crab in at this time.
After entering the water, the shrimp soldiers and crabs will fall directly to the bottom and crawl around, driving the giant catfish and small mullet fish at the bottom everywhere.
The bottom of the tank suddenly became lively.
Chen Ling stood in front of the fish tank and watched it for a long time. The two tigers and weasels also looked at it intently.
It’s fun.
When the sunshine outside becomes stronger, it is almost noon.
Chen Lingcai put two panda goldfish and a big black koi in.
These three fish are much larger than the others.
They were raised in still water in the pond. Chen Ling never fed them, and they never lacked food.
Not to mention tadpoles and small fish and shrimps.
There are also larvae and eggs of various mosquitoes, as well as grasshoppers and crickets.
In the koi pond, even if an insect lands on the grass blades beside the pond or floats on the water, they will suddenly jump out of the water to eat the insect.
So the body looks very strong.
Especially this black koi, when he enters the fish tank, he looks like a black dragon king.
It is several times larger than other fish.
Coupled with the nearly noon sunlight shining into the house, the fish tank is sparkling.
In contrast to this black koi swimming around in the tank, crossing mountains and ridges, shaking its head and tail, it is very domineering and very beautiful.
Chen Ling felt that if he was fine, he could stand in front of the fish tank and watch it all day.
"Well... Next, let's put in a few more luminous fish with good hair color. They will look good at night."
Luminous fish, luminous fish, you can tell by the name.
This thing is also nocturnal.
It likes to hide under aquatic plants during the day, and becomes active at night. It will float on the water two or three hours after dinner, making the water surface flash with light, colorful, magnificent and charming.
It seems that this luminous fish is also a mutation of the ordinary grass goldfish.
In fact, this type of fish should also be some kind of mutated and defective product.
Because with fluorescence, they no longer grow big.
The largest one is as big as a catfish, about five centimeters.
And my habits have also changed. I don’t like the sun and have become diurnal and nocturnal.
When it comes to fish farming, everyone is likely to raise mutated fish species.
Especially among the eliminated defective fish, disabled fish, and diseased fish, they often have special appearance.
The more common ones are small tropical fish, such as guppies.
Whoever takes it home may develop a special color and appearance.
Creating mutant fish species is not Chen Ling’s patent.
He just accelerated the process of fish mutation after he got the cave.
“There are still a few fish in the tank now. Let’s slowly add more when you see the beautiful ones in the future.”
Chen Ling thinks that he can also add two of his own red eels. At the bottom of the tank, as for eels eating fish and shrimps, that's no problem. You'd better just fish more small wheat fish in there when the time comes.
While I was watching the fish tank, my father-in-law came back from herding sheep.
Bring Zhao Yubao and Old Man Zhong to the house to eat watermelon.
A man came over with a tooth of watermelon and gnawed on it: "How about it, is the fish tank ready, Ling Zi? How many days have you been tinkering with this?"
As soon as they walked in, the three old men looked straight at each other. Eye.
“My dear mother, you, you, you are doing magic tricks, Fugui, the tank was full of rocks two days ago, but today it suddenly transformed into an underwater world.”
< br>Zhao Yubao screamed strangely, like an old monkey, put down the watermelon, lay on the wall of the fish tank with both hands and his old face, and looked inside closely.
Old man Zhong didn’t give in too much.
He also put his hands behind his back, bent his waist, and looked in with his mouth open: "It's strange, how did you create this scene? It looks like a whole new continent.
Didn't you just move it from the mountain? "Mossy stones."
Before Chen Ling could answer, Zhao Yubao shook his head firmly and said: "No, it's definitely not. You didn't come here two days ago, and it was still a bare stone two days ago. I don't believe you. Ask about Cunye? "
The father-in-law nodded and smiled without saying a word.
He knew that Chen Ling sprayed water inside, probably spreading some grass seeds or something like that.
That thing grows fast.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhong immediately wondered: "How can a bare stone look like this? Fugui, did you scrape off a layer of ground? Even put moss and ground on the stone?
Yes This... doesn't look like it, it looks like it's growing on the rocks.
It's just like the real mountains outside, and these small trees are no different from the mountains."
" What’s so strange about this? They are just aquatic plants. It has been raining the past few days. Where can I find moss? Besides, moss cannot be soaked in water.”
Chen Ling chuckled and raised his chin unconsciously.
It was my first time to get recognition for my fish tank landscaping, and I felt quite proud.
Do you feel a sense of accomplishment? !
“I don’t believe it, water plants can grow so quickly?”
Zhao Yubao lay in front of the tank wall again, like a big gecko, looking up, down, left and right against the tank wall.
Old man Zhong clasped his hands behind his back and tilted his head to look at Chen Ling: "Yes, can you?"
Chen Ling was speechless when he heard the words, thinking that you guys were talking with a hint of teasing, "Yes, the tank is covered Just put a layer of plastic sheeting on it, make some small holes, and use a watering can to spray some water into it every day.
You may have seen it as a bare stone before, but actually the seeds are in the cracks.
When it rains and gets wet, it will grow faster if you cover it with plastic wrap.”
“Ah, is it that easy? Let’s try it when we go back.”
Zhao Yubao was stunned for a moment, then looked back and thought: "Forget it, why should I bother? Since you made it so beautiful, Fugui, I can move your tank away.
I will buy a new fish tank as a gift. Here it is, what do you think?”
Old man Zhong laughed: “That’s a good idea. Fugui, you have to take care of our old people. Get me a tank like this in the future, and I’ll give you a bigger one.” Big."
Chen Ling rolled his eyes: "No way."
My father-in-law was not as surprised as Zhao Yubao, but he looked at the fish inside with interest, "Brother Zhao. , you two look at the fish, how beautiful it is.”
"What's so good about the fish? I still think the scenery of Fugui is good."
"I also think that even the small model of the ancient building here is a bit inappropriate. If the small attic inside is replaced, If it were made transparent or glazed, with the light coming in and the waves flowing, it would be like the underwater Dragon Palace."
Chen Ling listened to the two old men praising me and thought: Since you praise me so much. , then I will forgive you for coveting my fish tank.
