The little Loach set off a wave of getting rich. Li Geping, a farmer in Chenzhou, Hunan Province, has an annual income of 200000 yuan.

On May 11, Baiyangtang Village, Yanquan Town, Yizhang County, a few large fish ponds sparkled, loaches for food tumbled and jumped, farmer Li Geping smiled and was feeding homemade soil feed to loaches in the pond: "These are treasures to get rich from poverty, they are listed, I want to take good care of them!"

In the past, Li Geping has been working outside, driving forklifts, working as porters, low income, families struggling on the poverty line. Once, see online said loach contains a variety of vitamins, there is "ginseng in the water", especially suitable for weak body, the elderly and cardiovascular disease patients to eat, Li Geping produced the idea of raising loach. After investigating and understanding the market, Li Geping went to Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, Zixing City, Hunan Province and other places to learn loach large-density ecological breeding technology, and began to learn loach breeding related knowledge.

In December 2014, Li Geping invested more than 80,000 yuan to lease 5 mu of land in his hometown and dig ponds. He introduced the first batch of 100,000 loach seedlings from Foshan, Guangdong Province, and started "big dry". However, loach is picky about the environment, breeding technology is harsh, at the beginning of breeding, due to lack of practice, technology is not mature, Li Geping breeding loach either died or escaped, or was eaten by birds and snakes, 100,000 loach seedlings survival rate is only 30% to 40%, that year lost more than 30,000 yuan.

The road to success will not be smooth sailing, Li Geping is not discouraged, but also gradually find out the way: with bean curd residue, fish meal and other high-protein feed, fermentation every morning and evening on time feeding; the most important thing is to grasp the water temperature and PH value, if the breeding water is not up to standard, feed formula is not appropriate, will lead to loach rotten mouth, white head or even death. While learning, he continued to summarize and adjust. He was finally handy. The loach was taken care of quite well by him.

In October 2015, he increased his investment, purchased another 150,000 seedlings, and surrounded the pond with nylon nets to prevent natural enemies. A set of equipment for measuring water temperature and quality was also purchased, and daily tests were carried out, increasing the survival rate to 70%.

Because of ecological breeding, Li Geping raised loach tender meat, rich nutrition, sales do not worry. "Each batch of loach yields 1500 jin per mu, 2 batches a year, the market price is 25 yuan/jin, and it can earn more than 200,000 yuan a year." At present, the second batch of loach has sold more than 1500 jin." Li Geping did the math by the pond.

For the villagers who need breeding, Li Geping will carefully guide them in management, epidemic prevention and other aspects, and provide free technical consultation. The surrounding 3 villagers will raise loach under the guidance of Li Geping to drive the surrounding farmers out of poverty.

"One person is not rich, everyone is rich." Li Geping is very bright, small loach churned out "get rich wave".
