Chapter 155 Trial production of pellet feed for ornamental fish
The yeast pancake fish feed sold by the Fire Dragon Aquarium Store has been widely praised by customers. They all say that the fish babies at home like to eat this seemingly crude pancake very much, and they grab it every time they feed it.

Some old customers have also reported that the use of fish feed and special water can enhance the physique of ornamental fish, make them less sick, and make them more lively and cute.
The only drawback is that the packaging of the dough pancakes is too rough, they need to be broken into pieces to feed the fish, the size is difficult to control, and the dregs are easy to fall to the ground. There seems to be a problem with storage and shelf life in summer.
Therefore, I hope the aquarium store will change the noodle cakes into small packages and divide them into different sizes for large, medium and small fish, so that feeding them will be very convenient.
Most people living in cities are busy every day. They raise fish and flowers to adjust their life after work and relieve nervousness. In this case, things that save trouble and are convenient are naturally more popular.
In view of the needs of customers, Fatty Luo checked a lot of fish feed classifications and production methods on the Internet, and then decided to trial-produce new products. (For text novels, go to ‘Piaotian Literature Network’)
In the evening, Fatty Luo returned to Baozi Shop with Li Fangcheng, found Uncle Qi by the fish pond, and discussed with him about making commercial fish feed.
Uncle Qi was breaking up homemade dough pancakes and feeding them to the fish. He knew that Fatty Luo was fully responsible for the aquarium store. This was something Boss Xiao Li had clearly stated, and he should cooperate.
"Fat man, it's a bit difficult to make small packages of fish food. You see, what we feed now are yeast pancakes, which are usually used within three days. Of course, the pancakes made with special water should be kept longer than ordinary pancakes.
It will take longer, but with the weather being so hot, I estimate the shelf life will not exceed one week." Uncle Qi said while feeding the fish.
The broken dough cake fell into the water, and the fish rushed to eat it, causing ripples in the water.
"Uncle Qi, you can't use this kind of soft dough cake to make small packages. You need to dry it to make it look like biscuits. Then find a packaging factory to use small bags to package it, so that it can be stored for a long time. (Read the text novel.

Most of the hard-packed fish feeds on the market now are extruded pellet feeds. The advantages of extruded feeds are long shelf life, good shape stability in water, slow dissolution, and enough time for fish to eat. However, the disadvantage is that after the expansion process, nutrients are lost.
The loss of substances, especially vitamins, is relatively
However, the special fermented dough cakes made by Baozipu for feeding fish are definitely not as stable in water as the puffed fish feed, but because of their delicious taste, they are very attractive to fish. Basically, as long as they are put into the water, they will be eaten by fish immediately.
Therefore, there is almost no problem of waste and poor water quality caused by leftover bait.
"Oh, that's it. You can give it a try." Uncle Qi nodded in agreement.
Fatty Luo asked Uncle Qi to prepare some things, and he could just do the rest himself.
That night, Fatty Luo said hello to Li Youran and refused to go home. He worked on developing fish feed in the shop and went to the rooms of his two subordinates to squeeze in at night. (For text novels, go to 'Piaotian Literature'

Li Fangcheng went to school, and Fatty Luo asked Huzi to go to the kitchen with him.
Uncle Qi has already prepared a dough made of standard flour and cornmeal, to which vegetable residue and some fish meal and shrimp meal have also been added.
The dough has risen. Fatty Luo stretched the dough into long strips and asked Huzi to put it into the meat grinder.
Huzi shook the handle of the meat grinder, and the dough was squeezed out in the shape of noodles. He caught it on a tray and sprinkled some bean flour to prevent sticking.
Put the noodles on the chopping board and chop them with a kitchen knife to form particles, then put them into the baking tray and bake in the oven.
About half an hour later, as the oven beeped, the new fish feed was freshly baked.
"Hmm, it smells pretty good." Huzi put his nose to it and smelled it.
"Would you like to try it?" Fatty Luo said with a smile. (For written novels, go to 'Piaotian Literature Network')
"Forget it, this is for feeding the fish. By the way, Fat Brother, wouldn't it be better if you put some oil in it? When we were in the countryside, we made fishing bait. In addition to earthworms, we just made dough and sesame oil." Huzi suggested.
.
"It's not good to use oil. It's easy to chew and hard to preserve." Fatty Luo explained.
"Now this thickness is suitable for big fish. After mass production in the future, it can be made into three sizes: large, medium and small, suitable for different types of ornamental fish. Okay, now let's find a fish to try a new taste." Luo
As the fat man spoke, he found a bowl and scooped some of the still-hot fish feed into it with a spoon.
Huzi was surprised, where could there be ornamental fish in the store? Fatty Luo motioned to Huzi to follow him.
The two of them went straight to the south warehouse on the first floor. Fatty Luo turned on the room lights and the fish tank lights in sequence.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. Is this also an arowana?" Huzi was surprised when he saw Lanlan for the first time. This fish was much more beautiful than all the fish in the aquarium shop. The blue luster of its body was reflected in the light.
It shines brightly under the light, like a dream.
"Of course she is beautiful. You have to say, this is the Arowana King of Tianhai City this year, can it be any worse?" Fatty Luo had a rare and strange expression on his face.
"Brother Fatty, why don't you put such a great fish in an aquarium store?" Huzi asked strangely.
"Hey, you think I don't want to. But this is the wild girl's precious pet. The wild girl wants to see it every day. Did you know that someone offered 400,000 yuan but didn't sell it?" Fatty Luo couldn't help but feel regretful when he thought of the scene on the day Lan Lan won the championship.
.
"Four...four hundred thousand, one fish?" Huzi felt that his brain was not enough.
"These days, there are so many rich people, so what does 400,000 yuan mean? At the auction held by Jinchang Auction Company a few days ago, a piece of high-quality jadeite as big as half a palm was sold for 13 million yuan." Luo
The fat man remembered the news published in the newspaper.
Huzi was almost stunned. The last time he won the cockfight, he shared 70,000 yuan, and besides paying off the debt, he still had tens of thousands left. In this way, he felt that he was already very rich. Now it seems that he is simply a bottom of the well.
"Okay, don't think so much, just do the job in front of you." Fatty Luo said, touching the fish feed in the bowl, it was no longer too hot, he picked out a few and put them into the fish tank.
The pellet fish food has not been puffed and sinks quickly, but Lanlan reacts very quickly. It takes a total of two seconds for him to smell the food and swallow it. Then he approaches the wall of the fish tank, wagging his tail as if he wants to continue eating.
attitude.
"This fish is so smart." Huzi has never seen a fish that is so understanding of human nature. Today is really an eye-opener.
"Arowana has a long lifespan. It can live for decades if raised well. It has a higher IQ than other fish. Well, this fish food is fine. Lanlan likes to eat it. I guess other fish will be the same." Fatty Luo said to today.
I was very satisfied with the results of my late work. I threw some more fish food into the fish tank. Lan Lan quickly accepted all the fish food as ordered, not a single grain was wasted.
"That's right. I'll take some to the store tomorrow. If there's no problem, we can start mass production." Fatty Luo nodded and said.
