There are even small fish flock to “lean on”. The area of ​​the fence is more than 200m2 wide. Talking to Reporter Family & Society, Mr. Nam said: “The sign of” Nature fish sanctuary “and a note that prohibits fishing within 100m is that the State asks me to do it to protect river fish. Although my family is not well-off but will try to feed them if they don’t leave me, seeing a special phenomenon, many people have also donated food money for my family to raise fish. Someone advised our family to sell, but I strongly disagree “. Mr. Nam Dang is feeding the fish in the ditch in front of his house. (Photo: Character provided) To protect the fish, he made a bamboo fence without a net, the fish can freely enter and exit the fence area. However, the fish not only did not leave, but also grew rapidly. Initially the fish was small, only 2-3 bags of food per day, but with the current amount of fish, Mr. Nam had to spend from 6 to 7 bags of food. The cost for a herd of fish ranges from 1 million to 2 million / day. Every time Mr. Nam spilled food, the fish immediately gathered thick, black covering the surface of the canal, wagging his tail, causing white saliva. Fish outside the enclosure also quickly entered. Mr. Nam shared: “For the cost of buying fish food, our family will be self-sufficient. Many people also have a lot of generosity to contribute to support. Many tourists coming to visit them also give money to support, sometimes a few hundred, some people have 1-2 million.If in shortage, the family will spend money and cook rice for fish. fish are also affected a bit “. A close-up of fish poking at the food dropped by Mr. Dang’s nephew. The “special guests” are not invited but stick to Dang’s family day by day. Among the thousands of white pangasius, there are 20 black pangasius, 2 pangasius fish. More and more people knew about the “aquarium” in front of Mr. Tran Van Dang’s house. Tourists also visit, feed the fish and at the same time support him a part of the cost of food to feed the fish. Seeing that many people were interested, Mr. Nam built a small bamboo bridge in the middle of the canal so that everyone could see the fish school at a closer angle. Every few days someone comes to ask. Children living near the house also went to Mr. Nam’s house to play, playfully drop their feet in the water to fish. Sharing with Reporter Family & Society, Mr. Ly Chi Hung, head of Phu Quoi hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Phu Tan district, An Giang province said: “This is a strange phenomenon in the locality. The villagers have come here for more than 1 year, everyone loves the fish, so they often bring food to help Mr. Nam with the fish. We have also set up the sea to preserve the natural fish to avoid the villagers who do not know how to hunt. According to local authorities, at present, there is no visitation or fee collection from this phenomenon. Mr. Nam can freely play with the fish without fear of leaving the fish. Mr. Nam plans to continue to raise fish in the near future and let them live naturally in the canal area in front of his house, without catching or selling for money. For his family, this is a predestined grace by nature. The ancients had a saying “Good land birds perch”, that’s what Mr. Nam conceived of when raising this herd of fish.
