These 6 species are among the more expensive ornamental fish
Do you like keeping ornamental fish? Many people like to keep cats and dogs at home, but some people like to keep all kinds of cute ornamental fish. There are a great many species of ornamental fish on the market, some are relatively expensive and some are cheap. Below we introduce 6 kinds of expensive ornamental fish, and you can see whether you have ever kept any of them.
1. Red Arowana
The Red Arowana is a red subspecies of the bony-tongued fish, and there are many classifications, mainly 4 kinds: orange-red, pink-red, deep red and blood red, among which the blood red one is the most beautiful and precious, and most importantly, it is extremely few in number. In 2004, another Singapore Red Arowana was bought by a Japanese person for 600,000 US dollars (about 5 million yuan). For a time, the Red Arowana became the most expensive ornamental fish in the world at present.
2. Platinum Arowana
The Platinum Arowana is very unique. Its whole body is snow white and it also has a slightly transparent feel, its entire body is plain and clean, without a trace of black or impurity, making it a very elegant fish. Many people think that the Platinum Arowana, whose whole body is snow white and has a fine texture, is a Snow Dragon. This kind of fish sells for about 300,000-310,000, and the fish's appearance affects its price.
3. Red-tailed Golden Arowana
The Red-tailed Golden Arowana is a fish without even a single row of scales. From the juvenile stage, the upper and lower parts of their tail fin are different in color: the upper lobe is rather dark, while the lower lobe is slightly red. A Red-tailed Golden Arowana sells for between 6,000-8,000 at 50 cm, and for beginners it is a very good entry-level Golden Arowana.
4. Yellow Croaker
The Yellow Croaker is a species unique to China and belongs to the national second-class protected animals. Because of its scarcity and the ever-intensifying fishing intensity in coastal areas, wild Yellow Croaker is currently on the verge of extinction. In recent years the price of Yellow Croaker has soared, from 10,000 yuan to breaking through 20,000 yuan, and some can even fetch a price of 30,000 yuan per jin. Both the swim bladder and the head of the Yellow Croaker can be used as medicine, so some people also call it yellow goldfish.
5. Bluefin Tuna
Tuna is a kind of delicacy, but many people's impression of it is that it keeps breaking records. In 2013, at Tokyo's Tsukiji, Japan's largest seafood market, a sushi restaurant bought a tuna weighing 222 kg for 155 million yen (about 10 million yuan, 1.8 million US dollars). This price broke the highest price record of 2012 and created a new historical record.
6. Freshwater Polka-dot Stingray
The Freshwater Polka-dot Stingray is also called the Crown. I believe many people know that stingrays are poisonous; in fact, their price is also quite expensive. Those caught in the wild are given an expensive price tag of 100,000 US dollars (about 680,000 yuan). However, now because of artificial breeding, the price of stingrays may not be that high.
The above is the introduction to ornamental fish. Keeping ornamental fish can cultivate one's character and add unique pleasure, and it is a very popular breed to keep now.
