Ali led Fang Tianfeng through several shops, and after a while he stopped and pointed to a place. Fang Tianfeng's eyes were immediately attracted by a special arowana.
The scales of this arowana are very special. The edges of the scales are light gold, and the background color inside the scales is dark purple. It is luxurious and mysterious. Against the background of the lights and the surrounding small fish, it is very majestic. Compared with this arowana, just now
The fish I saw could only be regarded as small loaches.
The scales on the head of this arowana are also completely gold-framed with a purple background. The whole body has no mottled colors and has a strong metallic texture. However, the scales on the head of the second-class cross-backed golden dragon in front are not gold-framed.
Ali said with envy: "Didn't you just ask me what a first-class golden arowana is? This fish is a first-class golden arowana, which is much more precious than a second-class golden arowana. And the purple color is so beautiful, it's like a golden arowana on a purple background."
The role model of the dragon is also the treasure of this store. It is said that the store owner even offered 300,000 yuan and refused to sell it. This fish attracted a lot of people."
Fang Tianfeng took a look and saw that several passers-by were indeed attracted by this golden-headed dragon with a purple background and stopped to watch.
Ali continued: "Golden dragons are divided into five grades according to grade, but if they are divided according to color, there are more. The background color of this golden-headed arowana is purple, so it is called purple-bottomed golden-headed. In addition, there are also blue
bottom, gold bottom, colorful and classic, and in order to sell more money, fish dealers will rename the ones with slightly different shapes and colors, such as big gold head, small gold head, 24k, cannonball head, etc. If you raise it yourself,
Don’t be misled by their claims and only buy what you like.”
"Actually, there is also a most high-end dream species of Arowana, which is a cross-backed golden dragon. Its full name is Dream Butch Mera. The main reason is that the background color is two-color, with four color gradients. As the light changes, the color changes greatly.
It is said that there are only a few in China. The Fuso people love this dreamy species the most, but I personally don’t like this kind. I prefer the ones with pure colors. If you want to see the flashy ones, it is better to raise koi.”
Fang Tianfeng looked at the purple-bottom golden-headed arowana with great pleasure. It was really beautiful. He thought that when he got rich in the future, he would raise a few of these arowanas and put them in the living room. They would make him feel comfortable all day long.
.
Ali added: "To identify an arowana, you should not only look at the color, but also the body shape, whiskers, eyes, head, mouth, scales, gills, as well as pectoral fins, dorsal fins, anal fins and tail fins, and of course, bloodline and place of origin. Inside
I have a lot of knowledge, don’t talk about me, even a veteran of dragon games may make mistakes sometimes.”
Ali then whispered: "This purple-bottomed gold head is good in all aspects, and its pedigree and place of origin are proven, except that the dragon's beard is not straight enough. Otherwise, the price can be increased by 50,000 yuan on top of the original price."
Fang Tianfeng didn't expect that there was so much knowledge in the dragon fish. If he invested rashly, he would definitely lose everything.
The two of them looked at several more fish, and apart from the golden arowana, the most valuable one was the red arowana.
The best red arowana is more expensive than the golden arowana, because the golden arowana has several defects, one is that the dragon's whiskers are short, the other is that the body is short, and the third is that the fins are too small, which is not as beautiful as the red arowana.
Ali is a nice person, and he repeatedly advised that if you really want to raise arowana, it is best to raise the golden dragon first, and then hire the red dragon. Don't bite off more than you can chew.
Fang Tianfeng is naturally not blind. Besides, this thing can easily cost tens of thousands, and he doesn't have the energy to raise too much. It is best to start with the second-class cross-back golden dragon. The first-class golden dragon will be more expensive, and anything less than that is worth twenty or thirty thousand.
The two of them were watching the arowana while walking, and Ali was very knowledgeable. In addition to introducing the arowana, he also introduced an ornamental fish that has a similar status to the arowana, the koi. However, the status of the koi in China is not as good as the arowana, but
It is extremely popular in Fuso, and almost all wealthy people in Fuso keep koi.
While walking, there were six or seven people gathered in front of a shop called Longhu Aquarium. These people were gathered around a medium-sized aquarium, pointing and talking. Next to them sat an old man in his sixties or seventies.
Years old, frowning.
Fang Tianfeng walked over curiously and saw that in the aquarium, there were two arowanas with their bellies turned up. Their bellies were swollen and their scales were extremely beautiful golden yellow. Unfortunately, some of the scales fell off.
Next to the old man, a sign was erected, which read: Whoever can cure these two golden heads with gold background will be the new owner and will be given a pair of gold heads with purple background.
Next to the sign, there is an aquarium with two purple-bottomed golden-headed dragons in it, but the purple color of these two fish is lighter, and only half of their heads are gold, which is far inferior to the treasure of the store that I just saw.
Ali sighed and said: "This old man is quite pitiful. He became obsessed with arowana a few years ago and raised a few of them before they died. Later he learned how to raise them, so he bought these two gold-backed gold heads and kept them for two years.
Duo has been doing well and has a very deep relationship. I often see him showing off with a smile when I come to buy fish food. But a few days ago, these two fishes suffered from ascites disease, which was not cured. Now it has entered the terminal stage and they will not live much longer.
"
Fang Tianfeng asked: "These four are all first-class gold heads. How much do they cost together?"
"I have seen these two gold-on-gold heads before. They are full of gold and are in excellent condition. Together they are worth at least 150,000 yuan. The two purple-on-gold heads are worth about 60,000 to 70,000. I am giving a conservative estimate.
, if I find one I like, I will pay a higher price.”
Fang Tianfeng used Qi-gazing to look at the two golden-headed arowanas. Sure enough, they had sick air, which was as thick as a toothpick and very solid. The sick air as thick as a toothpick seemed like a minor problem, but it was very scary to the fish, just like having a fever.
The sick air is only as thick as a toothpick, but a fever in a child can be fatal.
Fang Tianfeng thought for a while, walked to the old man and said, "I can cure it."
Ali looked at Fang Tianfeng in surprise, wondering why this young man was so unreliable. He knew nothing about arowana just now, but now he dared to treat arowana. If he didn't think this person was very good, he would have left long ago.
Everyone around looked over, and even the owner of the shop came out. He was a middle-aged man with a sinister face, and even when he smiled, he looked a little fierce.
But the old man slowly raised his head, glanced at Fang Tianfeng, and said numbly: "Treat me, any medicine you buy will be charged to my account."
But the shop owner of Longhu Aquaculture shook his head and whispered: "Young people today really dare to say anything."
Fang Tianfeng glanced at the shopkeeper, then looked at the old man and said, "I won't treat it outside. Let's bring the fish to my house."
The old man hesitated.
But the shop owner came over with a smile and said: "Little brother, ascites is in the final stage and it is difficult to treat. Even if it is cured, the two fish will be dead. What do you do and how long have you been raising dragons?"
Ali gently tugged on Fang Tianfeng's clothes, then said to the shop owner with a smile: "Brother Hu, don't mind, my friend just wants to try it, there is no other intention."
Brother Hu just glanced at Ali and asked Fang Tianfeng: "Why can you cure these two dragons?"
Fang Tianfeng asked curiously: "Are you the owner of these two arowanas, or is this uncle? I hope you won't interfere in my affairs with him."
The people around him quickly moved away from Fang Tianfeng and looked at him as if this kid was looking for death.
Brother Hu still smiled and said: "I think you are young and ignorant, so I won't argue with you. Old Zhou is so sad, so don't bother. If you want to invite a dragon, I have it here. How about I give you a 10% discount?"
"
Fang Tianfeng said: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's a pity that I am here just to treat these two arowanas."
Ali's face was full of anxiety. Others didn't know this, but he knew that Fang Tianfeng was just a novice. He didn't even understand the basic levels and classifications just now.
"Let's go, Brother Tiger is not to be trifled with," Ali said kindly.
Fang Tianfeng did not reply, but said to Lao Zhou: "I just ask you if you are willing to send the arowana to my home for treatment. If you are not willing, just tell me so that I can see other fish."
Brother Hu immediately noticed Fang Tianfeng's name for Dragon Fish and asked, "Are you a novice?"
Fang Tianfeng didn't answer, just looked at Lao Zhou.
Lao Zhou said helplessly: "Okay, the car is right outside. I'll find someone to move the aquarium over there. If you can really cure it, I'll find someone to send two purple gold heads to your home."
Brother Hu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but stopped, and then changed his words and said: "I'll find someone to help you carry it. Let someone follow the car, and you have to carry it back anyway."
"You're quite brave to say that." Fang Tianfeng said.
Brother Hu snorted coldly and called someone.
Soon, four people arrived and slowly carried the aquarium to a truck. In addition to the aquarium, there were also various fish food, medicines and other things, and there were a lot of bits and pieces. Before getting on the truck, Lao Zhou asked:
"Young man, where are you going?"
"Chang'an Garden."
Lao Zhou looked surprised, nodded, and told the truck driver to talk, while he sat in the back of a black Mercedes-Benz R300 with the driver in the car.
Fang Tianfeng entered the truck compartment with four people carrying the aquarium.
Ali also followed and said, "I sell this and can help out a little."
The truck was traveling at a slower speed, with two people holding on to the aquarium, while two arowanas over 40 centimeters were floating feebly on the water, with their bellies still upward.
Fang Tianfeng walked over and stroked the abdomens of the two gold-bottomed golden-headed arowanas. He first sent a little vitality into them, and then used the air-entraining technique to intercept a little bit of the sick energy.
The two fish started to move immediately, but their bellies were still turned up and they still looked weak.
The car entered Chang'an Garden and stopped at the entrance of the villa. The four of them slowly moved the aquarium out. When half of the aquarium was exposed in the car, Fang Tianfeng said: "The door is narrow, and it will be more troublesome for four of us to move it. You four don't have to go in."
, I can do it alone.”
The four people moving the aquarium looked at Fang Tianfeng as if they were idiots. There was a lot of water in this aquarium, about three to four hundred kilograms. It was difficult for two people to carry it, let alone one person.
Fang Tianfeng stepped forward to hug it, and with a gentle push, he easily carried the one-meter-long aquarium in his arms amidst the screams of everyone, and walked towards the villa with steady steps.
The four people moving the aquarium looked at each other, each one more surprised than the other.
"This man is too strong!"
"The key is to move such a heavy thing and walk quickly and steadily."
When Lao Zhou saw this scene, his eyes became brighter and he immediately followed. Ali also followed.
