My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 861 The fish in suspended animation

The sea water in this sea area is still relatively deep, and it is difficult for ordinary people to go directly to the bottom of the sea even with the help of advanced diving equipment.

Xiang Yang didn't bring too many people with him when he went into the water this time, he only brought a dozen or so people with relatively good lung capacity.

Going down to the bottom of the sea, Xiang Yang was disappointed to find that there were not as many corals as he expected on the bottom of this sea area. This was a relatively wide seabed beach, and a large number of benthic organisms lay on the soft white sand on the bottom of the sea, only a few corals. Clumps grow.

Suddenly, Xiang Yang saw a very strange fish, which was oval in shape, with a very flat body and a small head, but its eyes were very big, which was extremely large compared to the whole body of the fish. uncoordinated.

Not only the size was incongruous, but the color was also incongruous. I saw that the fish's body was a very bright golden yellow, but its head was just monotonous black and white.

Xiang Yang was stunned for a while, and then he was overjoyed immediately. Isn't this fish with the appearance of a fox just the famous fox fish in the ornamental fish circle?

Foxfish are named for their resemblance to a fox.

Most foxfish are docile, which goes against their devious exterior.

However, the spines on the dorsal and anal fins of the fox fish are sharp and poisonous. When the fox fish encounters danger, it will erect the poisonous back spines to make the enemy stay away.

If a fisherman accidentally pricks his finger by a fox fish, it will cause severe pain.

It is worth mentioning that all foxfish are very easy to keep. They have a strong body and wide adaptability. They do not have high requirements for bait and living space. In the sea tank, they can be regarded as very approachable. One type of fish, as long as they are raised in water with nitrate levels below 300ppm, they will do well.

And adult foxfish never harm other invertebrates in the tank.

However, because the fox fish is lively and powerful by nature, it sometimes destroys the rocky landscape in the sea tank.

Xiang Yang swam over quickly, grabbed the fox fish, and stuffed it into the net bag.

I didn't find the precious rock clam, but it would be good to catch a fox fish.

Foxfish has no natural enemies among ornamental fish, and it will not actively attack other fish. It can be raised with all other fish species. It is still very popular in the ornamental fish market.

Foxfish are omnivores, and most of them eat seaweed in nature.

In seawater tanks, the food of foxfish is mainly algae food, and the bait can be frozen fish and shrimp meat, water earthworms, algae, chopped and cooked vegetable leaves, pellet feed, etc.

The best bait for raising foxfish is flake feed containing seaweed ingredients. If they are fed meat with high protein content for a long time, they will suffer from indigestion.

Foxfish are very healthy if they are given fresh lettuce or cabbage once a week.

After this fox fish was caught into the net bag by Xiang Yang, it seemed very panicked and strayed around in the net bag.

About a minute later, the butterflyfish probably found that it couldn't escape Xiang Yang's palm, and suddenly stopped struggling in the net bag, and landed straight on the bottom of the net bag, as if it had suddenly died of breath.

And the color of the whole body is fading rapidly, the body turns from golden yellow to pale white, and the head turns from pitch black to gray white.

Xiang Yang smiled slightly, secretly thinking that this foxfish is really as cunning as a fox, even knows how to fake death, and even pretends to be like this, if someone who is not familiar with the habits of foxfish, I am afraid that he will be deceived by it.

Foxfish are very timid fish, and they will frequently appear in a state of suspended animation during transportation.

The overall color of the foxfish in suspended animation will be adjusted as if it is rotten, and then lie flat on the bottom of the water without moving.

However, as soon as a foxfish is placed in an aquarium and it is determined that it is now safe, it will recover in an instant.

Xiang Yang ignored the butterfly fish that was feigning death in the net bag, but quickly searched around.

Foxfish are social animals and generally do not appear alone.

Even if foxfish are raised, it is best to keep them in groups, and even if they cannot be kept in groups, they should be mixed with other fish schools.

Foxfish are afraid of being alone, and if there is only one foxfish in an aquarium with no other fish, it will often be in a state of stress and will not be very active in eating and exercising.

However, Xiang Yang once saw in a document that foxfish are not friendly to their own kind. They like to be with their own kind, but they also like to fight with their own kind.

Xiang Yang searched deliberately, and soon found a few more foxfish. The smallest of these foxfish was only as big as a palm, and the largest one was twenty centimeters long. It looks like a big golden cake.

Without exception, as soon as these foxfish were caught in the net by Xiang Yang, they immediately began to feign death, and the color of their bodies became extremely dim in an instant.

Taking the fox fish with him, Xiang Yang quickly swam to the sea surface.

"Brother Yang, why did you come up so soon? Did you catch the clam?" Fang Youqun shouted when he saw Xiang Yang surfaced.

Fang Youqun's lung capacity is actually not bad, if he really wants to dive, he can dive in this sea area.

However, when going into the water this time, Xiang Yang didn't let Fang Youqun go down, because this kid likes to show off. If the other crew members can't go down, they will come up on their own initiative, and they won't hold on to it, but Fang Youqun likes to hold on. This, so this kind of water area between the depths that Fang Youqun can dive and the depths he can't dive, Xiang Yang will never allow this kid to go down.

In case this kid is under the sea, he can't stand the strong pressure but refuses to float up, and then there will be an accident on the bottom of the sea.

Xiang Yang dragged the net bag and climbed back to the deck, dumped all the butterfly fish in the net bag into an empty water tank, then shook his head and said: "The sea area below is very wide, but there are not many corals. I haven't found any corals. Mussels, but found this other fish that is also very valuable."

Fang Youqun's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he quickly stretched his head to look into the water tank.

When I looked at it, I saw a group of fish with their white bellies turned over and their bodies all gray were wading at the bottom of the water tank.

Immediately, Fang Youqun's face was filled with disappointment, "Brother Yang, is this the other valuable sea fish you mentioned? Why are they all dead?"

At the same time, Fang Youqun showed great puzzlement on his face, "Brother Yang, why did you put these dead fish in the water tank? Do you want me to go to the cabin and bring some foam boxes and crushed ice?"

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, "Usually I tell you to read more books, but you have to fish."
