Mysterious dragon fish blood in the temple tower

It is particularly rare species of fish in Lake. Not as many people mistakenly think of that called "blood dragon fish" because this fishery species have red blood like blood dragon, dragon blood derived name for two reasons, first is the fish with a long body, flexibility, top can double as dragon beard.
And because the fish have scales Body color red as new blood since the ancient fish called dragon blood.
Fish are being Blood Dragon Asian merchants preferred as beautiful looks like a dragon, it also means spiritual.
1. In Vietnam, sometimes fishermen in the provinces of An Giang, Dong Thap trawling dragon blood sticky heavy fish to over half a quintal. Few people know that the fish blood dragon originated in the Great Lake - Siem Reap, Cambodia on your land. During high tide, we made the cross-country travels, and "citizenship" in the West River Vietnamese soil.
Prior to Siem Reap, the gateway from which to Lake, then go over 10km boat hire new river road to where to go, we have the opportunity to "transit" Phnom Penh, had Urussey market, where Middle East and US-Vietnamese Cambodians live.
Urussey is one of the largest open markets in Phnom Penh gathered produce water is caught in the sea as Tonle Sap lake that Vietnamese living in Cambodia used to call "Great Lake". A walk around the market, I see shrimp and fish of all kinds abound, but most impressive to me is the crab, the big spike spike like son. No pattern tied by rope from the big one when removing cords crab sign only 6-7 ounces as at me, here is crab tied up with nylon lightly.
When I picked up some crab shooting, the barn owners a big smile looked rather uncomfortable. The more in-depth on-site market, saw water being dumped solid look the hell out. Ask the barn owners are known goods originating from Lake.
In less than 2 hours to visit Urussey Fair enough I found most impressive thing is the wealth of produce Lake water are sold, we do not see the scene they sold something called perch squash, catfish and particularly the net net fish (snakehead figure) as in his own country. Talk Nguyen Tuan, rich loving teacher left Vietnam in the following areas Fire At The Fair Chpaum (10km from Phnom Penh) open class of love for children overseas, he said, the natives do not have fry eating habits, because they have to mind that big fish, also give birth to children, such as eating fish eradicated "new Juveniles were hunted down jot eat clean, then there is something else this morning and eat, that start ".
I do not know Mr. Tuan has overstatement or not, but clearly see the effect his words and especially judicious topical soaked in Vietnam. In his own country, where the people there are shelves of tiny copper brass Xiu fish, especially fish net net that many people it is the specialty. To catch dripping, they arrested the son and mother, alarmed drive material, such cessation is the same.
Interestingly when Tuan said a difference around the army generals shrimp fish originating in Lake and river in the western province in Vietnam was while we neglect even for people caught by destructive methods such as grid scratching (the bottom coffee, catch big fish small shrimps unforgiveness), poured medicine, electricity circus .... then in the Great Lake, which is unthinkable:
"I used to live in the Great Lake for 10 years before the Phnom Penh government should know there protecting fishery resources very carefully. So that still preserve Lake is much like your fish, but most notably blood dragon fish ".
Blood dragon fish like? It you like? When I asked this, Tuan said he had many times witnessed some fishermen catch fish dragon blood: "It's beautiful, it has a flexible body, red scaly body as blood, call was blood. And the first part of it featuring two long whiskers much like the dragon that southerners often called "dragons". Call it the dragon's blood so "- Mr. Tuan, explained.
According to Mr. Tuan, he had caught a fish weighing more than 50kg dragon blood, fishermen catch those great old dragon blood so they drop and never eat meat ... Also according to Mr. Tuan, blood dragon fish are People are aquarist, especially the heavy business of popular spirituality, with people willing to pay thousands of dollars to get the blood dragon fish like that ...
The above information has prompted us to Tonle Sap region in hopes of a glimpse of blood dragon fish.
2. Learn about blood dragon fish, learned through a gorgeous expression through haughty sparkling red to symbolize the mystical good luck, fortune, dragon fish blood is not only the most beautiful but also the fish The most valuable Asian crisis.
2 months ago, residents of Sai aquarist at the tumultuous story hitters in District 1 to meet Mr Tam Tho in District 9 300 million proposed to pay in exchange for red dragon fish (or blood dragon) long yet Eight full 1m but he did not even nod.
Dragon's Blood spiritual fish, one hundred years, especially the giants in China believe that it may scare off the evil demons appearance, help homeowners always been lucky, religion road home, money always open. Selling it is selling off his luck, so he decided to feed eight, not sold.
People playing dragon fish as his blood Eight Tho said the aquarium has sold many blood dragon fish but most are hybrids, imported from Thailand.
Fish like the color, size and vitality, are worth far less than pure fish dragon blood. Talking about fish size dragon blood, he mosquito breeding, aquarium business specializing in the 8th district in May 1-2013 storytelling, he has personally to An Giang to see firsthand the blood dragon fish weighing more than half a quintal.
Go backwards that time, knew the day 29-1-2013, while letting go of the channel grid Shennong (Phu Thanh, Phu Tan), a fisherman caught a 1.8m long dragon fish blood. Although oxygen are wide but not long since been pulled from the water, the fish die garish dragon blood, then it is transferred to the Fisheries Department of An Giang province to the fishery research experts. Since then authorities have identified that blood dragon fish, named in the Red Book of Vietnam and the world.
In shape, lean fish dragon fish blood waterfall strabismus (by fishermen in the western provinces called her fish two). There are two bodies of her white fish with black spots, the most formidable size 2 inches in length not exceeding 2kg heavy / child. Particularly with blood dragon fish have a longer body child with outstretched arms straight, the whole body is red as blood, weight sometimes up to hundreds of kilograms.
Despite such terrible weight but when I found the river fishermen Tonle Sap and then they said the fish was very benign dragon blood, never attack people:
"Blood dragon living in a maximum depth of 5m, often hiding in the flooded groves, eat algae, small fish and shellfish ... It is a solitary species and just kick up at high tide season. When water up from the navel conservation infiltration impossible, dragon fish angle to the flow of blood, everywhere.
Sometimes people in Kompong Cham meet it more than 200km from Lake, and is seen most frequently in the area of ​​the Mekong Delta. "With that, fishermen Battle of Tam, the Dong Thap, to earn their living from fishing in Lake, close to 10 years, said Nine Dragon Land Delta (Mekong) River is known but considering the vast river or upstream Me¬kong mother them- Sea Tonle Sap is only .. . youngest brother.
Tran Tam said that in the Mekong Delta, the river region are scattered footprints and workers' wing, so no fish crisis: "Some fish weighing tens or hundreds of kilograms but occasionally they get in the West actually drift fish from Vietnam to his Lake there "- Tran Tam assured.
3. The day wandering on Lake, I do not have a chance to meet blood dragon fish, fish species you can name not only in the Red Data Book of Vietnam that even the world's Red List also recorded. Even so I was real life bumper stories about this precious species from the river region residents here.
GUARDIAN blood dragon fish meat is very tasty, but when caught no one eat because it sells a lot of money, each priced at 300,000 rieal kilograms, equivalent to 1.5 million or even more so when it's hunting, they just to sell: "But the most interesting is catching fish alive dragon blood, extremely good price. People buy on domestication and production will be sold to the farmer contrary to grab for breeding fish" - he Tam said.
Lake People also told me many interesting stories about the expedition in the West pour into individual hunt terrible place to implement the development program exploring the whole world watching.
He following (crap), Vice Chairman of the Vietnamese people in Siem Reap, also told me the water season, there are hand Saigon bench into this person how to put the boat went around the interesting question terrible fish.
Has anyone fished the dragon blood not, uncle?
Yes, sometimes there. There are human anglers 2kg, 5kg figure .. Fish sentence much because they support valuable data ... But long long way from being a child who question, like this fish very rare now.
Having wandered around the Tonle Sap Lake, knows with the natives, at high tide season, there are groups of fishermen flock of particularly rare species of fish for resale to the giants demand feng shui fish play especially fish dragon blood.
Fishermen catch the blood dragon Convention, the sentence was blood angler dreams dragon, fish traders expect buy fish blood dragon - fisherman Tran Luong, 56, used to hunt fish are heavier than 30kg blood dragon alive, say with me.
Spontaneously blood dragon was a witness in the western rivers of Vietnam, if they are propagated and mass culture would be of great benefit to farmers in the Mekong River delta longstanding buckling on the field but still finished size suffering!
