Fang Youqun blinked his eyes. "Isn't this fish a spotted fin fish?"
"This fish is called the color-changing fin fish, also known as the green frog. It is a small warm-water marine fish with a very high charm index. It is small in size, and an adult is generally only about 7 cm. It mainly lives on the sandy bottom of shallow reef areas and feeds on local invertebrates." Xiang Yang said.
Although both the color-changing fin frog and the spotted fin frog are called fin frogs and look like frogs, one's scientific name is the crown frog and the other's scientific name is the green frog, but they are indeed not the same creature.
The body of the chameleon is a light olive green with many dark brown eye spots or long stripes. The spots on its body are like camouflage uniforms, and the edges of the spots are decorated with green, black and orange.
Xiang Yang had seen a pure black color-changing fin in the biological exhibition hall of the Ocean University before.
The chameleon has fiery red patterns on its head, a red mouth, and many donut-like patterns on its body. Those donut-like patterns have a green outermost circle, black inner circle, and then there is another fiery red circle inside the black. It is very magical, as if they were carved by humans.
However, black color-changing fins are not the mainstream among color-changing fins. The most common colors among color-changing fins are light olive green or dark brown, and the patterns on the body also have white lines.
Most chromatic finned fish have wavy orange or blue patterns along the edges of their fins.
Unlike the spotted rayfin, the pectoral fins of the color-changing rayfin are translucent light red and generally undecorated, appearing very plain and elegant, while the pectoral fins of the spotted rayfin are very brightly colored.
The tail fin of the color-changing finfish is consistent with the main color of the body. If the body is black, the tail fin will also be black. If the body is olive, the tail fin will also be olive. However, the edge of the tail fin of some color-changing finfish is decorated with wavy lines.
It is worth mentioning that the color-changing finfish is often mistaken for goby by fishermen.
In fact, the color-changing fins have nothing to do with gobies; they are not even in the same family.
The color-changing finfish has nothing to do with the goby. The reason why it is mistaken for the goby by most fishermen is that the eyes of the color-changing finfish are very large, and the eyes of the goby are also large and protruding.
It is actually normal for color-changing fins to be mistaken for gobies.
The color-changing wingfin has always been misunderstood. Some people mistake it for a colorful frog, while others mistake it for a spotted wingfin. There is no way around it. The color-changing wingfin does have a common face and is very rare.
Fang Youqun's face was depressed. "I finally found a frog-like fish with a beautiful appearance, but I didn't expect it to be a color-changing fin. Brother Yang, this spotted fin is really hard to find!"
Xiang Yang nodded and said comfortingly: "Not only you haven't caught it, Chen Qingsheng hasn't caught it either. It's okay, we'll take our time. This fish has a very good hiding ability, we have to be patient and look carefully."
Fang Youqun felt much better when he heard that Chen Qingsheng was not caught either. He asked, "Brother Yang, what about you? You came up from under the water, so you must have gained something, right?"
Xiang Yang nodded, "Well, the net bag is full, so I came up."
"Fang Youqun: "???"
"The net is full?" Fang Youqun's eyes suddenly widened. "Brother Yang, are you sure that all the fish you caught in the net are spotted silver carp?"
"Yes." Xiang Yang nodded and smiled, "I was lucky. When I went down just now, I happened to find a nest of spotted silverbacks in a crack in the rock. I caught more than a dozen of them."
Fang Youqun: “@￥#&*... ... ”
"Brother Yang, please give me the net bag back. I want to go down." Fang Youqun said.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Now that you're here, take a break, drink some water, and take a look at these spotted silverfin mullets I caught." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"No, I'm not thirsty." Fang Youqun's face turned red like Guan Gong. He thought that he had been underwater for so long and only caught one fish, so he swam up excitedly. However, what he caught was a color-changing silverfin, not a spotted silverfin at all. Xiang Yang caught more than a dozen spotted silverfins in the same amount of time. Fang Youqun felt his face burning.
Xiang Yang smiled and stopped teasing Fang Youqun. It was not easy to encounter a spotted silverfin mullet, and Xiang Yang was also anxious to catch one.
Xiang Yang took off the empty net bag from his waist and handed it to Fang Youqun.
Fang Youqun took the net bag and immediately dived into the water.
Xiang Yang looked down at the net bag in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then poured the color-changing fins in the net bag into the water tank. Xiang Yang was not sure about the specific price of the color-changing fins, but since he had already caught it, he might as well take it back first. What if it was valuable
After dealing with the color-changing fins, Xiang Yang put on his helmet and dived into the sea again.
Xiang Yang specifically looked for places with crevices in the coral reefs. Since Xiang Yang swam very fast on the seabed and his power on the seabed was very strong, Xiang Yang was able to find and catch the spotted silver carp very quickly. After only a few minutes, Xiang Yang's net bag was bulging again.
The number of particularly ugly spotted silverfins is almost the same as that of top-quality spotted silverfins, which is almost negligible. Most of the spotted silverfins caught by Xiang Yang have ordinary body colors, and on average they cost about one thousand yuan each.
In just a few minutes, Xiang Yang earned tens of thousands of yuan. This speed of making money is simply incredible.
After getting on the boat for the second time, Xiang Yang tore open a pack of sandwich biscuits and started eating. He did not choose to continue going to the sea.
Firstly, judging by the time, Chen Qingsheng and Fang Youqun should be about to find the spotted silver carp.
Xiang Yang could say that he was lucky as he was able to fill the net bag after one or two trips.
Three or four times, the net bag was filled every time. It couldn't be explained by luck.
Secondly, although the spotted silver carp is a gregarious fish and there are quite a few of them living in its habitat, the number of spotted silver carp in the entire ocean is actually extremely small. Not to wipe out the entire family or catch them all in one net has always been Xiang Yang's bottom line in fishing. No matter how valuable the spotted silver carp is, Xiang Yang will only catch a very small part of them.
Soon, Chen Qingsheng emerged from the seabed. He held up the net bag, took off his helmet, and shouted, "Haha, it wasn't easy. After wandering around on the seabed for a long time, I finally caught two spotted silver carp. I made a fortune."
Xiang Yang smiled. A spotted silver carp costs one thousand yuan, and the cost is just a little oxygen. Isn't this a big profit
"Brother, let's settle the accounts clearly. Although we didn't go out on a boat this time, you used my diving equipment. Plus, I discovered these spotted silver carp. So we'll split the catch 50-50." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
