Dans fish farm
Thursday, June 13, 2024
Daniel has been feeding the fish in the moat. He ordered some fish food online, a big pail of it, and has been going down every day and sprinkling some pellets of fish food on the water.
The moat is 200 m long, so he walks around it, and tossed it here and there. Afterwards, the little minnows, and whatever other fish get busy pecking at the quarter inch granules of feed.
It’s quite exciting to see how many small minnows are in the moat. Some of those minnows are not minnows but just small fish. All fish have to start out small.
I drove down shortly after he had walked down to the wetland last night, just after sunset, and watched the fish with him.
The little ones had had a chance to find the food and were making circular ripples all over. I had no idea there were so many of them. I think he is going to start feeding them twice a day.
He’s only feeding in this one circular pond. Just one experiment. The other three polymers probably also have fish in them as does the stream, but he is leaving them alone, and doing justice one habitat.
It’s quite exciting that he’s doing this. Fish is very expensive in the grocery store.
Enna, being from Vietnam is used to using a lot of fish in her cooking.
They both have taken up fishing. There are so many lakes and streams and rivers ponds in our area that there is never a shortage of places to go fishing.
So far we don’t know what kind of fish are in the moat. Except there was a pumpkin fish and a perch that he caught one morning to feed his cats.
So this is an interesting journey, to see what will happen.
I've been pondering how fish have made their way into my ‘newly’ dug moat.
Birds, like herons or ducks, could have played a significant role. They often travel from pond to pond, and fish eggs can stick to their legs, feet, or beaks. When these birds visit my moat, they might inadvertently deposit these eggs, leading to the fish population now present.
Another possibility is the movement of animals such as turtles or frogs. These creatures can carry fish eggs on their bodies as they traverse between different water bodies. It's quite plausible that some of the fish eggs were brought in this way.
Some insects and amphibians can carry fish eggs or larvae on their bodies, introducing them to new environments like my moat.
It's truly amazing to think about the myriad of natural ways life finds a way to populate new habitats. My moat is now teeming with little fish, and it's a testament to the wonders of nature.
