The Mysterious Ocean World
The force transmitted through the fishing rod was not great; Chen Zhiyao judged by feel that the fish weighed about a pound.
Just as she started reeling in the fish, several cheers came from behind her, indicating that others had also caught fish.
Chen Weiqiang shouted the loudest, so it must have been a big one.
After playing the small fish, which weighed a little over a pound, Chen Zhiyao got tired of it after a couple of tries and simply started reeling in the line.
In less than two minutes, she easily pulled a beautiful pink fish out of the water.
This fish is quite beautiful. It has a long dorsal fin, which looks like a pair of outstretched wings, and a long anal fin, which looks somewhat like a swallow's tail.
This was the first time Chen Zhiyao had caught this kind of fish, but at least she had grown up by the sea.
Looking at the patterns on its body, I immediately remembered that it was a discus fish.
Discus fish
Looking at the stunningly beautiful angelfish, Chen Zhiyao beamed and said:
"The name is quite fitting."
Angelfish, also known as angelfish or angel fish, are tropical ornamental fish found in the South China Sea, Taiwan Strait, and other waters.
Angelfish typically have a diamond-shaped body with long dorsal and anal fins, resembling angel wings, hence the nickname "angel fish".
Angelfish come in a wide variety of colors, including mixed colors and patterns, and they are very beautiful.
"This fish is so beautiful, it's perfect to put it in the fish tank and keep it together."
Chen Zhiyao thought that the pufferfish at home had been kept for three or four days. Although it didn't look very healthy, at least it was still alive.
So he thought confidently that he could definitely keep the fish alive.
"One is too lonely, it would be great if there was another one."
As she spoke, she cast the bait back to the spot where she had been fishing for angelfish.
This time, the fish were caught much faster.
It felt like the bait had just hit the water when, in the next second, I felt a pull on the fishing rod in my hand.
This time it was a small fish, and the pull was barely noticeable, so Chen Zhiyao stopped playing the fish and frantically spun the reel.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The fishing reel spun wildly, and in no time, she pulled a round, plump angelfish with black spots out of the water.
This fish is different from the one before; it has a bright yellow body with black spots.
This is a panda angelfish.
Panda Angelfish
This name wasn't her own idea; it's just called Panda Angelfish.
Chen Zhiyao happily took the fish off the bucket and put it in.
Two angelfish were splashing happily in the live fish bucket, showing a remarkable ability to adapt and appearing to be getting along quite well.
The fish was plump and festive, and it was also very good-looking. Chen Zhiyao liked it more and more the more she looked at it.
"This panda angelfish is also beautiful. I'll keep you. Let's stay together."
Two angelfish were enough. After rebaiting, Chen Zhiyao used a little force to cast the bait a little further.
This time, the fish took longer to bite. It took her two or three minutes to feel a slight drag on the fishing rod.
After setting the hook and feeling that it was firmly attached, Chen Zhiyao began to reel in the line forcefully.
This fish feels light and airy, just like the two we just had; it feels like another angelfish.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
As the fishing line was reeled in, she soon saw a pair of big, red eyes in the splash of water.
Caught off guard, Chen Zhiyao was startled and nearly dropped her fishing rod.
This fish is the same size as the angelfish from before, and it also has long dorsal and anal fins, but its color and pattern are different.
What's most unusual about it is its eyes, which are bright red, and Chen Zhiyao finds them a bit scary.
Red-eyed Diamond Angelfish
"You can't keep this fish at home. If you get up in the middle of the night and see those red eyes, you'll probably think you've been possessed."
This fish looks scary, but it has a very nice name: Red-eyed Diamond Angelfish.
After removing the fishhook, Chen Zhiyao examined the angelfish in her hand with great interest.
"Are the fish eyes real? They look fake."
She took a closer look and discovered that the fish could blink, which was indeed true, but it looked very strange no matter how she looked at it.
Chen Zhiyao casually put it into another bucket, and then hung a lively little shrimp on the hook.
These angelfish are beautiful and expensive, selling for over 100 yuan each.
However, compared to other large fish, the price is still too cheap, and the fish is weak, making the fish-playing experience unpleasant.
After catching three angelfish in a row, Chen Ziyao was getting a little tired of it and longed to catch a big fish.
After the bait hit the water, the fishing rod quickly and suddenly sank.
Unfortunately, apart from the initial burst of power, the force was noticeably weaker afterward.
Chen Zhiyao sighed, "Another small fish, how about a big one?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Zhiyao heard her mother's laughter behind her:
"Haha, this red sea bream must weigh at least 5 pounds."
Then, Dad's smug voice rang out again:
"It's only a little over 5 jin, what's there to be happy about? Look at my flower eel, it weighs a full eight jin."
"..."
Chen Zhiyao felt even more heartbroken, knowing that everyone else's happiness belonged to others, and the air itself seemed to be thick with sourness.
She only came to her senses when she felt the pull from the fishing rod.
The fish in the sea were darting around, and their movements and strength felt somewhat different from the angelfish from before.
Chen Zhiyao thought to herself, "This time it shouldn't be an angelfish, right?"
A short while later, she pulled a beautiful fish with special patterns out of the water.
This fish is longer and looks different from the previous three, but it is also an angelfish, called the Masked Angelfish.
Masked Angelfish
The fish's patterns look like they were sprayed on; it looks quite unique.
Chen Zhiyao happily placed it together with the discus and panda angelfish she had just caught.
These three little guys each have their own unique features, and she plans to take them all home to raise.
After catching four angelfish in a row, she didn't want to catch any more of them, so she deliberately chose the largest shrimp and cast the bait in the opposite direction.
Chen Zhiyao waited and waited, but several minutes passed without any movement.
Just as she was about to change positions, she suddenly felt a huge pull on the fishing rod in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhiyao excitedly shouted:
"Goodness, this fish must weigh at least 20 pounds."
She hadn't caught a big fish for two days in a row, and she was very excited, feeling as if her blood was boiling.
Chen Zhiyao changed to a more powerful stance, ready to give this big guy a good workout.
Friendly reminder: The angelfish mentioned above may not live in the same sea area, so just enjoy the pictures for fun (?v?v?).
