Leina went to appease and encourage the aggrieved clerk, while Zhang Zian took a few steps back and whispered to Fina, "Why are you reacting so strongly? Did that ball python provoke you?"

After the Chinese customer took the ball python away, Fina's eyes turned to other snakes in the store, such as the golden python and the green tree python, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she could not get rid of it.

Fina gave him a sidelong glance, and said in a cold tone: "I hate snakes the most, every snake deserves to die!"

Zhang Zian was startled when he heard the words, but he immediately thought of the rumor that Cleopatra died at the end of her life and was kissed by a snake. The ending of the movie was also based on this. Could this be the reason why Fina hates snakes

Before he could think about it, Reina greeted from the front: "Jeff, come here, I'll show you around the aquarium."

"coming."

He responded, winked his eyes at Fina to let her be patient, and walked over quickly.

Zhang Zian was taken aback when he first arrived at the aquarium. At the entrance here stood a huge fish tank, almost a wall, he had never seen such a big fish tank. The most puzzling thing is that there is only one fish in such a large fish tank.

But after seeing what kind of fish it was, he was even more shocked, because it was a white sturgeon about 30 to 40 centimeters long. Although it was not a Yangtze River white sturgeon, but a European white sturgeon, it was also extremely rare. Caviar is highly sought after and nearly extinct in the wild.

The place of origin of this white sturgeon is Poland, and the price is as high as 4,000 euros. It is a well-deserved star among the aquariums in this store.

Its body is light gray, with a streamlined appearance, and its eyes are so small that people can mistake them for nostrils. It moves quickly through the fish tank like a puff of smoke.

In fact, there are still some small fish in this fish tank, but they are obviously the food of this white sturgeon. It is like a sharp sword and it chases aggressively, bites it with its sharp teeth, and swallows it into its stomach in one go.

Zhang Zian understood why there was only one fish in such a big tank, because this fish could grow to two or three meters long.

"How about it, do you like the white sturgeon in my shop?" Lena asked enthusiastically, "If you are interested, I can pay attention to the relevant information and help you find one. It will definitely attract people to your pet shop." Lots of guests."

"I like it." Zhang Zian replied earnestly, "But no need, I don't want to receive a 20-year free meal ticket."

Behind this oversized fish tank is a small pond made of cobblestones. Seeing someone approaching, hundreds of koi swarmed around, sticking their mouths out of the water, and bubbling bubbles, stirring up the water surface. Boiling like boiling water, red, white, yellow, black, several bright colors mixed together, it looks really beautiful.

As their footsteps moved, the koi also shifted positions, eagerly waiting for their feeding, and only returned to the bottom of the water wagging their tails after they were far away from the pond.

It seems that both the Chinese and the Germans like to raise koi.

In addition to koi, there are many other common tropical fish and cold-water fish here. For example, the Sanhu cichlids bred in Germany are top-notch in the world. At the same time, new bloodlines are constantly introduced to avoid excessive inbreeding. The Sanhu cichlids born in this way are by no means comparable to the Sanhu cichlids sold at high prices through feed dyeing in domestic online stores.

There are two main directions of ornamental fish in the world, one is the breeding line headed by Germany, and the other is the natural line headed by Fuso. The German series focuses on optimizing the pedigree of freshwater fish, while the Japanese series focuses on maintaining the original ecology in the wild state. It is precisely because of this that the price of the German series is more expensive than that of the Japanese series. China's domestic ornamental fish market is more inclined to Japanese.

The aquarium area is not limited to fish, Zhang Zian also saw a strange creature that looks like a fish but has limbs, and looks like a lizard but has gills. Its color is light pink, its eyes are innocent and cute, its fat body is completely out of proportion to its thin limbs, the most obvious sign is three pairs of feathery outer gills on the left and right sides.

The label on the tank says the axolotl is native to Mexico.

This rare animal is included in the "IUCN" 2016 Red List of Endangered Species and belongs to the "critically endangered" level. It is priced at 9.99 euros here.

If you have a few of these at home, they will definitely attract more attention than those extremely expensive gold and silver dragons, and can make the jaws of visiting guests drop.

This kind of animal can not only be kept as a pet, but also an important object for scientists from all over the world to study tissue repair and development due to their excellent ability to regenerate severed limbs.

It's a pity that you can't sell it or raise it casually in China. Of course, if you raise it secretly, try to keep a low profile as much as possible, and just don't post it on Moments.

In 2017, there was also a piece of news about "a flower and bird shop in Xiamen selling 'dinosaur' axolotls" on Xinhuanet. Zhang Zian didn't want to be famous in this way. He actually sold axolotls for huge profits, and was imprisoned and stabbed by tens of thousands of chrysanthemums" and landed in the UC shock department...

Zhang Zian walked around the aquarium area with Lena, but he quickly noticed a problem, that is, most of the aquariums here are freshwater tanks, and there are very few seawater tanks. Don't Germans like to raise seawater fish

He threw the question to Reina.

"No, Jeff, you misunderstood." Reina explained, "It's just that we have no room here, and we can't put more aquariums."

This is true, the entire second floor is basically occupied, and there is no room for more space.

"Remember what I said just now?" She laughed, "My father retired to enjoy the seaside and left this shop to me, but he is not completely idle, but specializes in the sale of seawater fish and equipment .If you're interested, I can give you his address, and you can visit him sometimes—he's a little queer, but he's a good fellow."

Zhang Zian pondered, whether it is axolotls or white sturgeons, they are not something he can raise or sell, and freshwater fish such as Sanhu cichlids have been tossed into chaos by domestic online stores, so let's try seawater Fish is better, at least there are not too many taboo things in seawater fish.

It's getting late today, and the whole morning has passed without knowing it.

There will be a pre-rehearsal for the opening ceremony in the afternoon, and Director Feng Xuan may be in a hurry if he doesn't go back.

So he asked Reina for her father's address and contact information, and he planned to try his luck after the film festival was over. Of course, he didn't forget to check out the extremely expensive pair of sunglasses of Famous—Goggles 3 The set was given to Femus by Reina, but he had to pay for the sunglasses himself.
