Mr. Luong Thanh Hao said that at first, he did not think the fish were many tons, seeing some animals stirring the water surface, so he put down food for them, was lured, they gathered more and more, estimated about 2- 3 tons. Many people are curious to see the fish, to add more things to make food, there are quite large fish that are picked up for everyone to caress and still “cooperate” normally. The most observed fish are pangasius, mackerel and a few red carp living around. Mr. Hao affirmed: “Raise for fun and protect them, as much as we can feed them, we will stop when the fish flock”. The wild fish population is cared for and fed every day by people In order to create a safe living environment for the fish to live, Mr. Hao’s family made a fence around, installed fishing ban boards, hung lights overnight, family members and residents took turns watching. . Every time she fed the fish, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Le Thuy (wife of Mr. Hao) whispered, “Eat and hide, listen to some children, let them catch them”. Since the fish school, Ms. Thuy has been working, preparing food every day, cooking padded potatoes and adding to the food for the fish. Some people intentionally come to the sentence or provoke, she immediately reminds. As for Mr. Hao, until midnight, he still lights up the lights and wanders around a few times to be assured. Mrs. Thuy said: “If you get used to it, then you see people catching fish, then it is pitiful. I do not regret it, I am not tired, because it is so much fun to feed them. I have to worry about farming, so I have to go back to take advantage of “visit” them. At the same time, at Than Nong canal route (in the area of ​​Phu Quoi hamlet, Phu Thanh commune), thousands of fish came together to live at the water wharf of Mr. Tran Van Dang’s family. Mr. Dang initially estimated that only a few tons of fish, up to now the number is up to over 10 tons of fish of all kinds: tra fish, catfish, sesame fish … Over 1 year staying here, thanks to good care the fish increased both weight and quantity. Mr. Dang’s family placed bamboo stakes containing water hyacinths so that the fish could shelter. Many people believe that when the water level below the canal falls low, the fish will leave, but in contrast, the number is increasing. Every day, Mr. Dang slices morning glory and mixes cooked plates for fish to eat. The number increased sharply, so to save the effort, he saved money to buy industrial food for fish. Mr. Dang informed: “I cannot worry about it alone. Over a year of nurturing, me and my relatives in this area gathered more than 140 million dong to buy food for this herd of fish. Seeing a lot of fish, I am also concerned that people are catching, but this situation has never happened, they are protected by the people here, the common goal of everyone is to do good deeds and contribute to protecting the source. aquatic resources ”. At the time of net water on Than Nong canal, the water level was measured about 2.5m. Everyone was surprised, because the water was not deep, but the flock of fish gathered was very strange, so they raised each other. As Mr. Tran Van Tre (households living in close proximity often come to feed the fish) shared: “The fish in the fields are now exhausted, it is very precious to be protected by the fish flock here to stay here! Where there are no gatherings but they stop at this point, the fish probably feel safe and can live, so I try to contribute to raising and protecting them. Around people who regularly provide food, whenever there is a shortage of industrial food, they are filled with other vegetables, which are easy to raise ”. Currently, the aquatic resources in the wild are decreasing day by day due to the destruction of human fishing. People’s jobs are only single actions, but show a positive change in awareness, contributing to the protection of natural resources.

Up to now, it is estimated that the total weight of the fish population is up to about 8,000, equivalent to more than 20 tons. At first, there were only a few fish swimming around to eat leftovers after his wife, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Mai, washed the dishes, but then a herd of pangasius arrived, and was always around in the previous canal. his house. A close-up of about 8,000 fish come to live at Mr. Nam’s house by themselves. (Photo: Character provided) Seeing more and more fish coming back, Mr. Nam put a bamboo fence on a small part of the canal in front of his house to avoid people coming to fish. 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.
