The Red arowana was no longer the same as when they were first brought into the space by Xia Ruofei.
The most obvious difference was their body shape. They had been in the space for several years, bathing in rich Reiki all the time. Occasionally, Xia Ruofei would drip some extra petal solution into the pond, so now the pair of Red arowana had grown to more than 60 centimeters long.
There was also the color. The color of the Red arowana's hair was very thorough. At first glance, the whole body was blood-red, and the fish scales had a metallic luster. The layers of fish were very beautiful.
Xia Ruofei compared some pictures on the Internet and felt that the so-called top blood red dragons on the forum were not as beautiful as the pair of Red arowana.
So every time Xia Ruofei entered the Ring-Tu space, he would come here to admire for a while.
Looking at such a beautiful pair of fish swimming in the pond, it was indeed a pleasing thing to watch.
Today, Xia Ruofei found that the two fish seemed a little different from usual.
Although they were chasing and playing, Xia Ruofei saw that the tails of the two fish touched each other from time to time, and in the process of swimming, the two fish were getting closer and closer. Sometimes they even lay on each other's back, very intimate.
Xia Ruofei, who had read a lot of information during this period, suddenly realized that the Red arowana was about to lay eggs.
Xia Ruofei didn't know how long the Red arowana had been successfully paired, but it seemed that they should be about to lay eggs.
He subconsciously walked lightly, for fear of disturbing the pair of Red arowana who were having their "wedding night".
However, Xia Ruofei didn't walk away. He kept a relatively distance and quietly watched the Red arowana laying eggs.
Xia Ruofei had read the information and knew that the process of laying eggs and hatching Red arowana was very strange. After the female fish laid fertilized eggs, the male fish would put the eggs into his mouth one by one. The male fish's mouth couldn't hold so many eggs, so he would swallow some into his stomach.
During the hatching process, if the male fish was frightened, he would also swallow the eggs and even the young fish.
So the number of young arowana hatched each time was very small.
Seeing that the Red arowana was about to lay eggs, Xia Ruofei naturally was unwilling to leave. The Red arowana was very precious, so he must find a way to improve the efficiency. he couldn't let the Red arowana hatched naturally.
He tiptoed away from the pond and went to the side to make some preparations. Then, he carefully approached the small pond with the things he had prepared.
Xia Ruofei stared at the pond without blinking.
About half an hour later, the female fish began to lay eggs. The Red arowana's eggs were a very pure golden color, about ten millimeters in diameter, shining with a dazzling golden light like pearls. One by one, they fell from the fish's body. The whole process was filled with the joy of life.
When the female fish laid eggs, the male fish swam over and opened his mouth, ready to put the eggs into his mouth.
At this time, Xia Ruofei immediately contacted the Ring-Tu space. Suddenly, an invisible binding force trapped the male fish. It was only a few feet away from the eggs, but it couldn't swim over.
Xia Ruofei's telepathic connection with the Ring-Tu space had evolved four times, so it was very close. His control of the space had also improved greatly. Since the male fish was in the space, Xia Ruofei could easily control it.
At this time, the female fish still didn't know and continued to lay eggs.
The whole process of laying eggs lasted about twenty minutes. Xia Ruofei roughly counted that there were about ten golden fish eggs.
When the female fish finished laying eggs, Xia Ruofei used the same method to bind it with the invisible force in the space.
This force was very gentle. Although it prevented the two Red arowana fish from moving around in a large area, it didn't frighten them.
Next, Xia Ruofei once again concentrated and controlled the fish eggs in the small pond to slowly gather together.
At the same time, Xia Ruofei felt a little strained. Fortunately, the small pond wasn't big, so he could still handle it.
Soon, those golden fish eggs slowly moved in the water and gathered into a ball.
Xia Ruofei took out a pre-prepared food container and slowly walked to the edge of the pond. He put the food container into the water and scooped up more than half of the seventy to eighty fish eggs, leaving about ten to twenty fish eggs in the pond.
He did this to prevent his method from not being able to hatch the fish eggs. Leaving some fish eggs could prevent him from drawing water with a sieve. Secondly, he was worried that after he took away all the fish eggs, the male fish wouldn't be able to find a single fish egg. If that happened, it would go berserk and hurt him.
Red arowana fish were very precious. If the fish's scales or fins were damaged while swimming berserk, its value would be greatly reduced.
Then Xia Ruofei slowly loosened the restraints on the two Red arowana fish.
They immediately began to swim in the small pond again. Apparently, they didn't realize that Xia Ruofei had "stolen" more than half of the fish eggs.
In fact, if Xia Ruofei didn't take away the fish eggs, many of these fish eggs would have been swallowed by the male fish during the incubation process.
The male fish quickly found the fish eggs in the pond. He quickly swam over and put the fish eggs into his mouth. The female fish opened her pectoral fins horizontally, showing a unique defensive posture beside the male fish.
This was a natural reaction condensed in the blood. The female fish laid eggs, the male fish hatched, and the female fish defended. It was an endless cycle, passed down from generation to generation.
In the following incubation process, the male fish would no longer eat. His mouth would squirm from time to time, and sometimes he would shake his head to maintain balance.
About 60 days, the five to six centimeters long young fish would go in and out of the male fish's mouth. The male fish was very protective of the young fish. This movement in and out would continue for about 90 days, and then it would slowly decrease until the young fish adapted to the outside environment. The entire incubation process would be considered complete.
During the whole process, if the male fish was frightened, it was very likely that he would swallow the young fish into his stomach. This was a completely instinctive reaction.
Moreover, without eating for such a long time, the male fish's body functions would be exhausted, and the damage it would receive would also be great. Some of the males would even die.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei decided that during this time in the space, he must be careful not to disturb this pair of Red arowana. He also walked over quietly and poured half a bottle of flower petal solution into the pond to ensure that the male fish's body functions wouldn't be overdrawn.
Then, Xia Ruofei took the container of forty to fifty fish eggs and went to a place far away from the small pond. He poured the fish eggs in the container into the container that he had just prepared.
The container was filled with the space pond water, and it was also mixed with a strange flower petal.
Xia Ruofei believed that such an environment would definitely allow all the fish eggs to hatch.
In this way, with the addition of more than ten fish that could hatch naturally in the pond, he would have sixty to seventy young fish.
This would be a huge fortune!
