Hello everyone, welcome to Little Blue Play Native! Raise native fish and feel the charm of native fish. Today we will talk about the representative of China's native fish, which is also the best among the native fish.
Brightly colored male carp
I believe that many people lived in the countryside when they were young, the stream at that time was very clear, there were many fish in the stream, and a bright fish shuttled through the rapids, suddenly left and right, suddenly down the river, suddenly and quickly against the current.

Some places call him peach blossom fish, and many places have various names, and this beautiful fish has a very difficult name to write, that is, the carp.
The fish is a kind of fish native to China, and the range of the fish is actually very, very large, and every place has a representative fish.
High-screen carp, with vertical stripes on the sides, are reared in fish tanks
For example, Chengdu in Sichuan has Chengdu carp, and Zhejiang has Zhejiang carp.
In remote areas, such as Guangxi, there is currently a kind of carp without an unspecified scientific name, which is the following picture.
Guangxi's unique carp: orange spotted carp, rainbow carp, characterized by orange patches
I will not say the characteristics of the carp, I believe that those who come to see this column must have seen or raised it to a greater or lesser extent.
In the title, we said that the carp can basically be said to be the best among the native fish in China, and it can also be said to be the representative of the native fish in China.
The albacore carp, common in Jiangxi, is also very good in color
Why is it said that the carp is the representative of The native fish in China, each country has its own native endemic fish species, while the carp is basically only distributed in China.
Local rivers
Why are there so many carp in country streams and very few in large rivers and lakes? Water quality is one reason, most of the streams in the country creeks are natural rainwater and groundwater, which are so pure that we can even drink it directly.

And the carp is like this environment, looking at a few years or even more than ten years ago, the water quality of the creek in the countryside is clear and not polluted, so there are a large number of native fish living in it, and now after the 70s and 80s and 90s should all remember, their impression of the changes in the countryside should be the most profound.
As I said before, the impact of economic development on the environment is the most profound, all kinds of pollutants destroy the environment, at that time many factories to the countryside to build factories, because the land price and labor is cheap, pollutant emissions are also convenient.
The carp that have been kept in the fish tank for a long time can easily fade its bright color
Basically every village has streams that go from clean to turbid, and gradually, there is no one in them to wash clothes, pan for rice, drink water, and the fish are long gone. Nowadays, the country has gradually begun to pay attention to environmental problems, factories have been rectified, pollutants have been cleaned up, but the creek has lost its original taste.

In the memories of many people, you can see a man standing in the stream, with a bamboo rod in one hand and fishing in the other, and in a short while, his fishing basket is full of brightly colored fish. At that time, materials were scarce, and these fish would soon be served on the dinner table and enter the stomachs of adults and children.

Later, in addition to the familiar people in the village, many people in the city and outsiders also took bamboo rods and fishing, and each time they took away less and less catches.
The stream was getting emptyer and quieter, and the colors were becoming more and more monotonous. We will also wonder why there are fewer and fewer colorful fish, and the older generation does not often say that wild things are inexhaustible.

Time slowly passed, when the good life of the Chinese people needed to be dispersed and reorganized, when people's material life became more and more abundant, more and more people liked to raise ornamental fish at home.
In addition to the bright tropical fish, there is also a person who thinks of the colorful stream fish of his childhood. Gradually, the native cylinder stepped into the vision of the big guys.

In fact, for the original tank, the aquarium circle does not have a very clear definition of the original tank, and the public aquarists recognize the fish tank landscape that simulates the wild environment as the original tank. And my personal opinion of the original cylinder is similar, I think the original cylinder is divided into these categories.
One is the ordinary native landscape, such as the pond on the shore, the beach by the river, the swamp, etc., which are relatively few people will do. Now more popular are the stream tank, and the stream still water area stone view.
Next we talk about the carp, the carp likes the rapids in the stream, especially in the breeding season, and the breeding season is also their most colorful time, so many aquarists like to raise the breeding season of the best male fish.
The carp likes the water flow, you can add water flow to the tank, so that the fish will be more comfortable
This actually has little impact on the population of wild carp. What is important is the female carp in the wild, and many of them treat the carp that swims up the stream during the breeding season as food fish, which is what I said before.

Now in many places, the emergence and non-emergence of carp has been two-stage differentiation, some aquarists respond that there is not a single carp in the local creek, while some aquarists say that they have a lot of carp here.
I know this situation better, there is a village in my local area, not far from the city, the village is not large, there are not many people, in 2005 there were many varieties of stream fish in the stream.

Several species of shrimp tigers, sucker loach, strip loach, as well as military fish, southern horsefish, albacore, broadfin carp, a variety of small fish and shrimp.

At that time, many people went fishing in the stream to eat, and the scenery was very good, I often went there to play and pick up some strange stones. Later, in the lower reaches of the creek, a small dam nearly vertical was built to facilitate the storage of water.
Such dams are deadly to the migration of native fish
Every year in June and July, you can see a lot of carp and stream groupers migrating in the dam is stopped, desperately jumping upwards, and in the upper reaches of the dam, there is no new fish to replenish, the remaining fish through a variety of fishing, first of all, all kinds of carp disappear, after being intercepted in various places, the water flow slows down, and the loach is basically invisible.

The whole creek is basically devoid of native fish from above the dam, leaving only a little bit of black-shelled shrimp and cunning creek groupers. The disappearance of these native fish in this stream has no effect on our own lives, but it is the sadness of nature.

So, my attitude towards native fish is gradually changing now, and a few years ago, when I first started raising native fish in fish tanks, I was constantly learning about their living habits and indulging in observing native fish in the wild, such as wearing a diving goggle to the stream to observe the native fish up close.
The clutter of rocks in the stream, the fish ran away as soon as they got out of the water
I have also been to the origin of native fish in many regions, such as the origin of baiyun gold wire, these native fish are really really beautiful, they are deeply attracted to me, I am now more eager to let more people know and understand the native fish, and then let everyone protect them, native fish in nature can show the most beautiful appearance.
The high-screen carp that has just been caught in the wild is much better looking than the indoor fish tank
Of course, I am not against raising native fish in fish tanks, because the root cause of the disappearance of many native fish in the wild is environmental pollution and artificial fishing and consumption.

It looks like a wild state, but in fact this is a close-up of the stream tank in the picture above
At the end of the article, I will talk about a native fish that was forced to become extinct in the wild, and everyone must be very familiar with the white cloud gold wire fish, its scientific name is Tang Fish.
White cloud gold wire and gold wire
The origin is narrow, the Pearl River Delta is the model production area, and the Pearl River Delta is the plain, and in recent decades it has been an important development site, and when our interests are aligned with this humble small fish, the small fish retreat, yes, the population of the wild white cloud gold wire is extinct. At present, what we breed and buy is artificially bred, and what is in the wild is also artificially released.

At present, there is only a little bit of sporadic in Baiyun Mountain, Hua County, and the mountains and streams near Guangzhou in Guangdong Province, and only here is it suitable for them to survive, but it is all artificially released.
There are many stories of the extinction of native fish in China due to development and pollution, which we will talk about slowly later.
Let's talk to you about it today, thank you for reading my article, these are my heart words, it is really comfortable to write it.
