Recently, when I visited a treasure, I suddenly found that there were also salmon for sale, yes, it was a live salmon, which was also a common kind of salmon when we were young. Isn't that a surprise? His salary has not risen for ten years, and the salmon that no one wants is actually sold according to the bar! Instantly feel that they are mixed up even a small fish is not as good, a cursory look, the cheapest is also about 1 yuan a piece, of course, are the smallest, no hair color of the kind. And the colorful giant salmon we see in the pond, they all have to ask for a few dollars a piece, the original business opportunity is in front of us, but we did not find, no wonder it is still poor. Now think about the days when I was a child and went down to the net for tens of hundreds of dollars is gone, and the salmon is really a potential fish!

Pomfret, the common name of the cyprinid subfamily of the Cyprinid family, has many nicknames: such as: square skin, mirror fish, colored round child, time skin and so on. It is a small freshwater fish, with a total length of about 30 to 100 mm, and some more than 150 mm. The body is flattened laterally, tall and thin, with a height of about 1/4 to 1/2 of its body length, and a short head and tail. Interestingly, females develop spawning tubes during the reproductive period, and males produce marriage colors or pearls in order to attract females.
It is an omnivorous fish, mainly algae, generally feeding on diatoms and other algae, a small number of branches and copepods. It can also feed on aquatic plants, leaves of higher plants, zooplankton, and aquatic insects. It inhabits the bottom of slow-moving or static freshwater lakes and shallow river areas, prefers a lush environment of aquatic grasses, often swims in groups to feed, relies on freshwater river mussels to breed, and has a small range of activities.
It is widely distributed in East Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe, and almost all water systems in China. The whole growth cycle of the trout is divided into five stages: embryonic stage, juvenile fish stage, juvenile fish stage and adult stage. Most species of salmon can reach sexual maturity in this year, but the lifespan is relatively short, and the longest lifespan is generally only 4-5 years.
Eggs are laid from April to June every year, and the peak is in mid-May, because of the small individual, weak reproductive ability, and low egg carrying, so the breeding method of the trout becomes different. They will lay eggs in the river mussels, and the river mussels will also scatter the fertilized eggs on the trout, which greatly protects the safety of the juveniles, and the juveniles will leave the river mussels after 3-4 weeks and live on their own. Sturgeon and river mussels are a special breeding symbiotic relationship among organisms.

Although the appearance of the salmon is gorgeous, but there are many different varieties, of which the Chinese salmon and the high-body salmon are the two most numerous and widely distributed, let's briefly meet the old friends.
1. Chinese anchovy
Personally, I feel that the word "Zhonghua" alone is a kind of pride, a representative of a civilization, and the Chinese salmon must also be proud of having such a name! It also has two other names: Colored Stone Fish and Colored Stone Fish. Mainly distributed in the Yellow River, Yangtze River and other large river systems, generally Chinese salmon males are smaller than females, due to their wide distribution, they are divided into north and south Chinese salmon. The South Chinese Trout is taller and brighter, while the Northern Chinese Trout is a little thinner and darker.
2. High-body salmon
The group is numerous, almost all over the country's waters, flat and thin, oval in shape, unnecessary, and incomplete in lateral lines. There are 27 to 31 longitudinal scales and 9 to 11 transverse scales. The former Jinan sturgeon is now also included in the high-body trout, commonly found in lakes, ponds and shallow waters with slow flowing waters in river bends.
3. Volcanic salmon
Because of its rich hair color and rounded body, it has become a popular fish species among ornamental fish. The scientific name is Slender Scaled Flounder, discovered and named by Dr. Li Fan. The geographical range of the volcanic trout is very narrow, limited to a small tributary of the Yangtze River. Due to the high color of the volcanic scorpion and the fact that its origin is known to many aquarists, some people have begun to collect it in large quantities for breeding or trafficking. Driven by interests, a large number of volcanic sturgeon have been captured, and the number of wild populations is worrying!
In addition to the above three more famous species of salmon, there are Fang's catfish, Heilongjiang salmon, spiny finfish, Shitai trout, Emei barbed trout, coarse striped dark trout, white-edged trout, blue-nosed trout and so on.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > the new favorite of the aquarium world</h1>
When it comes to the aquarium industry, some friends may not be too familiar with it, because the fish in South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa are colorful, so China's aquarium market has long been dominated by them. And preconceived, or rare is expensive, China's native fish has not attracted the attention of domestic aquarists.
The round-tailed bucket fish is the first Chinese native fish to enter the European ornamental fish market, and the Germans have written a special article for it called "China's Paradise Fish: Never Give Up!" " article, thus winning the title of "Chinese Paradise Fish". The trout entered Europe in the 1960s and was known as the "Chinese Rainbow" because of its rainbow-like brilliant colors. The special breeding symbiosis between the pomfret and the river mussel has made European aquarists even more crazy. Then the Japanese emperor sent people to Wuxi Lake in the early 1990s to find Chinese salmon, which is still popular even now.
And in the past, the moon of foreign countries was rounder, seeing that foreign aquarists no longer played with tropical fish, and when they changed the Chinese salmon, they also expressed surprise, take a closer look, this is not the small trash fish in the ditch of the hometown when I was a child? How did it become a delicacy in the eyes of foreigners? Since then, the scorpion has become a native ornamental fish with great market potential.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > the scorpion becomes a "potential stock"</h1>
There are many species of trout, among which the most suitable for family fish tank culture are the genus Hetian genus, there are more than 20 species of the genus trout in the country, and the above are some species under the name of the genus trout. The reproductive and adaptability of the trout is very strong, and the base of fish species is very large. It is easy to collect, generally in the flowing river can catch them, using a special fish catching tool, sprinkled with a little ham sausage can collect a lot, so the scorpion can become the "potential stock" of the aquarium circle.
With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people like to put a fish tank at home, aquatic wealth, and raising fish naturally. And novice fish farming generally use small tanks, the fish has become the best choice, one is the price is moderate (of course, and the kind of money when I was a child can not be compared), and the second is that the fish has strong adaptability, temperature, water quality, bait are not picky, very skinny. This low breeding threshold and strong universal characteristics have allowed the salmon to enter thousands of households and laid a mass foundation for the "potential stock".
The icing on the cake is that the body color of the salmon is brilliant, which will reflect bright colors in natural light, and some salmon will also change the body color according to the surrounding environment, especially during the breeding period. Both novices and enthusiasts can raise based on their own skills, and can also raise river mussels together for breeding, which is very playable. Because of its bright colors and strong ornamentality, the trout has become a real "potential stock", and is sought after by many native players and aquarium enthusiasts.
So don't be underestimated any fish, 30 years ago the scraps can not be done to fight a turnaround battle, the salmon is a typical representative, especially some species of scarce fish, with the sharp reduction in the number of wild, it is really a fish is difficult to find! Of course it's good that we love the trout, but it doesn't lead to overfishing.
