Zhang Zian actually didn't know much about raising fish. He basically decided to find information to make up for it after opening an aquarium, and also asked Carl and Paul for help. When his parents used to run a pet shop, there were only two or three freshwater fish with a styling tail in the shop, so there was no rich experience in raising fish.

While they walked, Xiaoxue passed on the questions of fish lovers in the live broadcast room to him. He did not answer the questions of cats and dogs as he answered them easily, and often needed to think about it before answering them. However, since the two of them were walking, they needed to avoid pedestrians and vehicles, and they also had to wisely fight back against netizens' jokes. Neither netizens nor Xiaoxue could see that he was screeching to answer the questions.

What netizens said is actually right. Basically, one person who opens aquariums in Binhai City loses one by one, and there are basically no one who barely maintains a balance of income and expenditure, because opening aquariums is too expensive. Not to mention the price of fish tanks, equipment, materials and aquarium organisms, just the electricity bill is a huge expense.

The inventory cost of aquatic creatures is much larger than that of cats and dogs, but it is not as popular and popular as cats and dogs. It loses more and earns less.

Zhang Zian was also worried. If he was not well-managed, he might lose all the money he had saved before.

Aquariums have suffered hard survival, but the fish market in Binhai City has not disappeared. Fishmongers in the fish market will try to reduce inventory pressure. The fish purchased this week must be sold this week, and at the same time try to avoid the death of the fish. The method is nothing more than not feeding the fish and drugging it in the water. It is basically a secret that is open to the industry.

The two walked through several streets and came to the fish market.

Although it is a working day, since most primary schools have not yet started yet, parents with their children often come from the fish market.

Parents hold a fish tank in their hands, and children carry transparent plastic bags in their hands. There are one or two cheap cold-water fish in the plastic bags. Parents and children are having fun, although Zhang Zi'an knows that most of these fish may die in a few days.

Children do not know how to raise fish and are not patient. They want fish to grow up in the blink of an eye. They are afraid that the fish will be hungry and will feed the fish frequently. They often feed the fish to death. Even if they don’t, the water in the fish tank will become turbid in a few days, floating with food residues, and eventually die due to the deterioration of water quality.

Germany's strict pet breeding regulations can prevent this from happening, but if China follows the example, the fish market will probably be in a state of chaos the next day.

"Is it a fish market over there? My first time here." Xiaoxue stood on tiptoe and looked away.

“I haven’t been here before.”

Zhang Zian was also looking at the fish market.

The fish market is actually slightly higher than the dog market. The dog market is full of open-air stalls, probably because the pets sold there are relatively strong and are not afraid of wind and rain. However, there is a three-story building in the fish market that covers a large area, providing shelter for the merchants who have settled in the wind and rain. It seems that the management is much more standardized than the dog market, and it may still not avoid cheating, but at least it is not as conscientious as the bad businessmen in the dog market.

At the entrance of the fish market is a rusty archway. It seems to be a bit old, with the words "Binhai City Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market".

drop!

There was a sound of car horns behind the two.

They turned sideways and made way for the road. A van drove into the fish market with all kinds of ornamental fish. Stopped on the back of the fish market building. Several fish-smelling workers walked out and unloaded the tanks of fish. The fishmongers who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward and bought cheaper fish by pound.

There are also some scattered fish vendors around the three-story building. The fish they sell are cheaper, and the fish that children carry may have been bought from here.

Zhang Zian and Xiaoxue discussed a little. Since they had come, they would just go around and start from the scattered stalls around.

As he expected, most of the fish sold in scattered stalls were very cheap, which is the so-called "hand-practice fish".

The industry divides ornamental fish into hand-held fish, commercial fish and boutique fish according to the price from low to high and the difficulty of feeding from easy to difficult. The ornamental fish is divided into hand-held fish, commercial fish and boutique fish. The price of boutique fish is not capped, and the specific boundaries are very blurred.

The vendors in scattered stalls are generally not professional fish sellers, but fish lovers sell their own fry and small fish. First, they cannot raise too many fish in their own fish tanks, and second, they subsidize their household consumption. The price of fish is often lower, which is relatively affordable. Maybe they can find one with good quality.

"That's grass gold, that's koi, that's peacock, that's Mary... These are all hand-training fish, which are easy to raise. As long as there is a filter and a heating rod, you can feed it. If it's a cold-water fish, even the heating rod can be saved."

They walked past stalls one by one, and Zhang Zian introduced the species of these fish to Xiaoxue one by one.

"Miss, do you buy a few? It's cheap and easy to raise."

When the vendors saw Xiaoxue's pretty face and well-dressed clothes, they all sold her their fish.

"Wow! Is this a koi? It's so cute!"

Xiaoxue squatted in front of a stall and was attracted by the koi sold on the stall. After all, the koi are fat and big, which is more eye-catching than those peacocks and Marys who are gorgeous but smaller in size.

There are several colors of koi sold at this stall, all golden, pure black, and red, white, yellow and black. Several of them are about 15 cm long and are very fat and are gushing bubbles in the water.

What Xiaoxue is staring at are these fat big koi.

"Little girl, do you want it? If you want it, you can take away 2 merchandise for 70 yuan." The vendor spared no effort to greet him.

These koi are of the worst-quality type, and they are estimated to be 50 yuan for 2 bargains, but Zhang Zian didn't say anything. After all, it is not easy to set up a stall outside in the cold weather.

Xiaoxue just saw the freshness. She didn't want to raise fish too much. The last time her snowball slapped the crucian carp caught by Jin Er with one claw. She still remembers it freshly and is worried that she will buy fish and become a food or a plaything for snowballs when she goes back.

After seeing enough, she stood up with a smile and shook her head apologetically to the stall owner and said she didn't want it, and then continued to move forward.

"What are you doing there? Is there a bad-hearted businessman cheating people?" she asked, pointing ahead.

There were several people around the stall, and it seemed that they were still arguing loudly. A middle-aged woman with a child had a high voice. The stall owner was scolded so hard that he had no power to talk back. Several others were also helping the middle-aged woman.

Since Xiaoxue went to the dog market with Zhang Zi'an last time, she hated those profiteers who dyed chickens or sold sick dogs as normal dogs. Seeing this scene, she subconsciously thought that the profiteers had cheated people again.

"Don't rush to make a conclusion first, let's go over and take a look."

Zhang Zi'an suggested.
