Chapter 776 Coral

The wildness of the West African style contrasts with the emptiness of the Japanese style, and other landscaping styles fall in between.

Zhang Zian introduced the landscaping style of these fish tanks to others, and even the other customers who were casually browsing nearby were fascinated by it.

"Then is there any Chinese-style landscaping?" After reading some of them, he asked with endless interest.

"Unfortunately, not yet, at least I haven't heard of it." Zhang Zian replied, "Japanese-style landscaping started more than forty years later than Western landscaping, and it took a lot of effort to catch up with the last train—you know , in Fusang, the construction and layout of the fish tank can be included in the Zhuo loan, which relieves the economic pressure. China began to popularize fish tank landscaping later, and it will take time to form a unique style. Maybe someday in the future There will be Chinese-style landscaping."

It's a pity to hear this, but this kind of art cannot be forced, and China is too big, and the major cities are dissatisfied with each other, so it is too difficult to form a unified style.

In addition to economic factors, aquarium landscaping can only be done with money, leisure and mood, and the middle class in China, old and young, are often so busy every day that they have no time to calm down and play. Most of the fish tank landscaping are old people with rich pensions, successful people who have achieved financial freedom, or enterprises and institutions.

After visiting the central display area, Zhang Zian needed to get busy with his business.

He walked to various shops around, looking for satisfactory aquarium supplies.

Some followed behind him, she didn't understand these things, she silently watched him pick up a handful of bottom sand, squeeze it, pick up a live stone to observe the color, put it under her nose to smell, basically don't ask the merchant, even if she asks Also just ask the price.

Seeing him like this, merchants know that he is an expert, and often quote the reserve price directly, saving both parties from the trouble of bargaining.

Zhang Zian walked to a shop, picked up two stick-shaped artificial stones, and knocked on each other.

"What is this? A hollow brick?"

Some noticed that the surface of these two man-made stones was covered with fine holes, and looked very light, which reminded her of hollow bricks as building materials.

"No, this is a bacteria house, a kind of filter material, used to cultivate nitrifying bacteria." Zhang Zian handed one of them to her, "Most seawater tanks don't need to add additional bacteria because of the task of living stone repelling house, but the FOT fish tank, that is, the bare tank with only fish in it, still needs to be used. The bacteria house will become acidic after a long time, and it needs to be used in conjunction with coral sand.”

After finishing speaking, he greeted the shop owner, "Give me one."

Not only did Zhang Zian buy a bacteria house from this store, he also stopped to buy one from every store selling bacteria houses on the second floor, put them in different plastic bags, and marked the name of the shop with a marker.

Before asking any questions, he explained: "The bacteria house consumes a lot, and it costs hundreds of catties to buy it, but the good and the bad are mixed. I will buy some samples first, smash them and put them under the microscope to see the internal structure. The Pylodes house is relatively cheating, but there are pores on the surface, and the inside is all solid. Whichever one is of good quality, I will come back to buy whichever one, of course I will ask for a wholesale price.”

He let out an inexplicable oh.

The two turned a corner and came to a shop selling coral.

Speaking of corals, corals are often confused with coral reefs and decorative corals, but in fact corals are a living thing, and the latter two are the remains of corals after death.

There are roughly three types of seawater tanks, that is, pure fish tanks, coral tanks, and mixed fish and coral tanks. The difficulty of raising them gradually increases, but the aesthetics also gradually increases. Most seawater tank players hope to have perfect fish and coral polyculture tank.

Therefore, Zhang Zian needs to purchase some different kinds of corals and put them in the display tank, which can stimulate customers' desire to buy more than a bare fish tank.

This shop is specialized in selling corals, and the entire shop is filled with large and small coral tanks. Zhang Zian took a cursory glance,

The variety of coral is quite rich, at least the common coral species are quite complete.

"Huh? Are there corals on both sides?"

Look at the left side and the right side. The corals in the fish tanks on the left and right sides of the store have completely different shapes. The corals on the left bloom on the coral reef like huge flowers, while the corals on the right are shaped like cactus-like branches.

"Well, they are all corals. The soft corals on the left and the bony corals on the right are very clearly distinguished." Zhang Zian strolled to the side of the tank and observed carefully through the water.

After observation, he found that the corals on the left and right sides seem to be evenly divided, but in fact there are more types of soft corals on the left, while the hard corals on the right are filled with numbers.

The charm of coral lies in the colorful shapes and colors, especially the hard bone coral, which is like a dense coral forest.

Some almost put their faces on the wall of the fish tank, admiring the beauty of the coral through the glass in amazement.

The coral tank is completely different from the previous landscaping tanks, because the landscaping tanks basically use freshwater animal and plant resources, which are beautiful, but not full of deep mystery like coral tanks.

There is also a female customer in the store who is picking corals. She seems to have seen all the corals in the store, but she is still not satisfied. She asked the store owner: "Boss, are there any other corals? Is that all?"

"No, only these." The boss was playing with his phone with his head down, and replied without raising his head.

This female customer is about 30 years old, with famous brands all over her body, and looks relatively rich.

"The corals here are all artificially cultivated, right? Are there wild ones? It doesn't matter if the price is more expensive." She frowned and said, "Are there any in the South China Sea?"

The boss raised his head lazily and glanced at her, "No, the country does not allow the sale, only Yu and Australia. Last year, several of the wild corals sold here were taken away by the law enforcement agencies for investigation. Put it back, close the shop when you come back, pack up and leave."

Wild corals are better in appearance and more uniform in color than artificially raised corals. However, due to the danger of extinction of bony corals, the country has banned the mining and trade of wild bony corals, especially the corals in the South China Sea are strictly protected. It makes many senior aquarium players feel sorry.

At present, the main source of coral imports is artificially raised corals in Australia and Yu.

Zhang Zian has also heard of it, but there is no other way. Since the country stipulates this way, he can only abide by it.
