The survival ability of this fish is so strong that it can enter our country and spoil the local fish only by eating feces.

The author grew up in the countryside from an early age, speaking of childhood rural life, it can be said to be rich and colorful. In the countryside at that time, although the living conditions were not as good as they are now, and the rural children had no toys to play with or snacks to eat, there were better things than toys and snacks in the countryside, that is, there were all kinds of wild fruits to eat and all kinds of game to catch, such as river shrimps, crabs, fish and so on.

At that time, as soon as it was a holiday, many rural children would follow their adults to catch fish in nearby ditches or dry mud ponds, not only for fun, but also to take them home for a good meal.

When it comes to catching fish, many friends who have lived in the countryside must have experienced it, especially in summer and early autumn, catching fish in rural ponds is the most interesting. The fish is not only big and fat, but also the meat is very delicious. Many peasant friends also like it very much, but there is a kind of fish in the countryside that is rejected by peasant friends. Although it is very big, few people are willing to eat it. This kind of fish is the "Egyptian pond fish".

Speaking of the Egyptian pond fish, we have to say that the pond fish is a local fish species in China. It is basically wild and rarely farmed. Because it is similar to a catfish and has a long beard, it is also commonly known as the "moustache catfish."

Originally, this pond fish is a very delicious wild fish. however, it is small and generally weighs only half a kilogram in the wild. The largest wild pond fish can only grow to about 20 centimeters and weigh about 1 jin. Because this kind of fish is too small, many people feel that it has no head to eat. therefore, the exotic species of "Egyptian pond fish" was introduced from the Nile River in Egypt.

Although the name of the Egyptian pond is very similar to that of the pond, its habits are not at all similar. China's native pond mainly makes a living by plants in the draught, while the Egyptian pond is very ferocious and gluttonous, and has a strong ability to survive, and basically eats everything, such as insects, small fish, shrimp and other small aquatic animals in the water, and even pig blood and feces can be eaten, especially after eating pig blood and feces. So if the living environment is not good, Egyptian ponds can survive by eating feces, while other fish cannot.

Compared with China's native ponds, Egyptian ponds are not only strong in viability, but also very large. Chinese native ponds can generally grow up to 1 jin, while Egyptian ponds can grow up to 4 jin, which is 4 times that of native ponds. And the small fry of Egyptian ponds can grow to this size within a year, so when they first entered our country, they were very popular with fishermen in the countryside.

But it is such a large, strong survival of the fish, in the later period of time was the most disliked, why?

The main reason is that after this kind of Egyptian pond entered our country and crossed with the local pond, the local pond also became a ferocious hybrid fish, which tarnished the reputation of the pond under the name of eating feces, and was considered to be very dirty so it was rejected.

But now, as the culture of Egyptian ponds becomes more and more mature, the situation of this kind of hybridization has also decreased, and the living environment of Egyptian ponds has become better, and they no longer live on feces as they used to.

Because of its fast growth, high yield, short production cycle and good meat quality, it can be raised for three seasons a year in southern China, so it is more and more popular, especially in southern China, such as Fujian, Guangdong and other places.

Dear friends, I wonder if you have ever eaten this kind of Egyptian pond. Welcome to leave a message and exchange!
