What varieties of loach fry are there, and how much does each one cost per fish?

Loach, also called pond loach, is distributed in greater numbers in the south, where they live in lakes and ponds and have high nutritional value, so they are also known as "ginseng of the water." Because the loach market is relatively stable and they can basically be harvested all year round, their good economic returns also attract many farmers, and loach farming begins with loach fry, so choosing the right variety is very important.

For artificial loach farming, you should choose loach varieties that grow well, have strong disease resistance, and are deeply loved by consumers. Especially for breeding loach fry, you need to first separately select female loach (mother loach) and male loach (father loach), then combine them in a certain ratio for artificial breeding. Some of the varieties and prices are as follows:
