Just about 10 kilometers from our place is a fish farm that has been breeding tropical fish for aquarists and fish fans for a long time already. I had the chance to visit it as I was searching for newer species for my ponds. It was a wonderful trip and I was longing for more foot energy though because I haven't visited everything as it was just plain enormous.
It was also incidental since I saw the largest Pleco in the farm. It was about 30 inches and it just costs 50 PP or about one dollar. I wanted a Pleco for my pond but not a monster like this. Anyway, I bought the shorter one though it still costs the same.
Romaing around, I saw all types of Cichlid. Cichlids are actually not only very beautiful fishes but they are perhaps easy to breed and are not very demanding fishes. There were peacocks (Oscars), Angelfish, Auratus, Pindani, Ice Blue, Yellow Labs, and Zebras. There were also live-bearers like swordtails, guppies, mollies, and platys. There were also bettas and they're all long-finned. I've been breeding bettas in the past and the bettas I saw there were just amazing. I could be planning on breeding with these later.
The only thing I need is more energy and foot muscle. :) Really. I just couldn't see it all. As the caretaker who was acting as a guide showed me farther, I simply turned my head. I've got another day or perhaps another "days".
Here goes some pictures. A pity though, that in my excitement I forgot to take pictures!
Those white things are young Albino Blue Ice cichlids. Great sight!
These are the smaller ponds that contain the cichlid youngs of all colors.
These larger ponds teem with angelfishes.
Occasional greens accent the ponds filled with young Pindani.
Frankly I never liked swordtails, but this sight changed the story.
Ubiquitous as they are, Japanese koi fishes are a great pond species.
