He said that the baby fish breeding is different from other poultry, livestock, the breeding environment is relatively clean and has a high economic value, for this reason, he spent nearly 4 years, has been in Guangdong, Shaanxi and other places while helping others to breed baby fish, while learning breeding technology.

Since then, in addition to "soaking" the time on the farm every day, he is reading books and materials about the breeding of baby fish at home. After mastering the local living habits and feeding characteristics of baby fish, he began to carry out large-scale breeding, and after three years, he raised 70 or 80 tails, and at the end of the year, he earned more than 200,000 yuan, and then he continued to purchase seedlings and expand the scale.
"Baby fish are more afraid of light, so we chose this dark cave to raise, to help its growth, there are currently more than 6,000 baby fish, the market value is between 1.2 million and 1.5 million, we now sell 30 to 50 per day." Jiang Jianchen, a doll fish farmer in Daoxian County, introduced.
At present, Jiang Jianchen's baby fish is sold to Chongqing, Guangxi, Guizhou, Guangdong and other provinces and cities at a price of more than 120 yuan per kilogram. The villagers saw that Jiang Jianchen had a considerable income through the cultivation of baby fish, and they came to the door for consultation, and Jiang Jianchen also introduced himself to the villagers without reservation, and encouraged many villagers to join the breeding.
