Baby catch loach to play with
A few days ago, Bao Dad bought river prawns and came back to eat them, and there was just a live loach in it, so Bao Dad deliberately left it for the baby to observe and play. Growing babies are full of curiosity about the world, for loach is also very curious, with the hand to grasp will feel the loach body slippery, very difficult to grasp. When I first started to catch it, I was a little timid, a little scared, and then I was very excited when I caught it. Watching the loach babies swimming around will have a lot of questions and then ask questions. I didn't know much about loach, so I found a helper, Baidu, and let it explain to the baby.
Here's a bit of basic knowledge about loach, as well as some questions and curiosities about your baby about loach.

Loach is a loach family that belongs to the loach family. The body is elongated and cylindrical, with a flattened and thin caudal stalk. Small head. Kiss the tip. The mouth is lower and horseshoe-shaped. 5 pairs (1 pair of snouts, 2 pairs of upper jaws, 2 pairs of lower jaws). The upper part of the body is grayish brown, the lower part is white, and there are irregular black spots on the sides of the body. There are also spots on the dorsal and caudal fins. There is a large, prominent black spot above the base of the caudal fin. The other fins are off-white. (The above is from Baidu Encyclopedia)
Loach is a benthic fish that inhabits the bottom layer of various shallow waters, silt environments such as rivers, lakes, ditch paddy fields, pond swamps and so on. Diurnal and nocturnal, highly adaptable, can live in humus-rich environments. When there is a lack of oxygen in the water, it can jump to the surface of the water and swallow air for intestinal breathing. When the pool dries up, dive into the mud, as long as the soil has a small amount of moisture to keep it moist, it will not cause death. Loach is widely distributed in China, Japan, Korea, Russia and India along the Asian coast.
Baby observe loach and ask questions
When I explained the loach video to the baby, the baby listened, I didn't care too much, and then the baby suddenly told me one day that loach is afraid of salt, which caught my attention at this time, because I never knew that loach was originally afraid of salt, and then I listened carefully to my father to tell me why loach is afraid of salt. So I watched the video again to see if the baby was right.

There is a layer of mucus on the surface of the loach body, which is secreted by the auxiliary respiratory system, if it encounters salt, due to osmotic action, the water in the loach body surface cells is quickly lost, it is easy to die of thirst, on the other hand, the mucus on the surface of the loach body becomes dry, unable to breathe, and will suffocate. (The above comes from seconds to understand children)
Baby observe loach
Loach was kept at home for two days, and then one day when he came home, the baby looked at the loach and asked, "Mom, how did the loach color become lighter?" "The baby still loves to observe, and the observation is very fine, for the loach color change really I really did not pay too much attention, maybe even if you look at it, you will not go to the loach color Why does it become lighter?" But the child's questions make me want to understand, want to answer them, give him answers.

Chen Daqing, a researcher at the Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, explained that the shade of loach color has a relatively close relationship with its living environment, and light conditions will affect the formation of loach epidermal cytochrome. In general, the more sufficient the light, the darker the color of the loach, and if the light is insufficient, the color will gradually become lighter. Consumers often place the remaining loach in the kitchen or bathroom of the home in the dark place, after a period of time the loach color changes, is a normal phenomenon, in the turtle and other aquatic products will also appear similar phenomenon, we do not need to worry too much.
