The Fighting Fish | 斗鱼

English Original

Fighting fish are popular among customers, but they are difficult to keep because they constantly fight each other. Therefore, we keep them separately, even using thick paper to block their view of one another.

Once, a staff member placed a fighting fish into another tank. The other fish attacked it as a group, and by the time I noticed, it was nearly dead. I immediately moved it to a separate tank for recovery.

Tom once told me a bloody story about fighting fish. The male creates a nest of white bubbles on the water's surface to lure the female into laying eggs inside. After she lays her eggs, the male kills and eats her. He then guards the eggs, waiting for the fry to hatch and grow. Once the young fighting fish mature, they kill and eat their father.

If this is true, it's truly brutal!


中文翻译

斗鱼很受顾客欢迎,但它们很难饲养,因为它们总是互相打斗。因此,我们分开饲养它们,甚至用厚纸板隔开,防止它们看到彼此。

有一次,一名员工将一条斗鱼放进了另一个鱼缸。缸里的其他鱼群起而攻之,等我发现时,它已经奄奄一息。我立刻将它移到一个单独的缸中进行救治。

汤姆曾给我讲过一个关于斗鱼的血腥故事。雄鱼会在水面制造一堆白色气泡来引诱雌鱼在其中产卵。雌鱼产卵后,雄鱼会杀死并吃掉她。随后,雄鱼守护着鱼卵,等待幼鱼孵化长大。一旦幼年斗鱼长大成熟,它们就会杀死并吃掉自己的父亲。

如果这是真的,那真是太残酷了!
