The particular farm is around 3,000-square-metres-large and is home to more than 70,000 fish.

One of the farmers said: "I am a rice farmer, but now rice prices are decreasing, I learnt another production model.

"I am passionate about guppies because they have a charming, attractive beauty.

"To raise fish well, we must create the right environment, the most natural ecological environment.

On the field model, I build to store water, the rest I build up to become a fish pond, when it rains, I store it so that I can pump it up for the fish in the dry season.
To raise fish well, we must create the right environment, the most natural ecological environment. I always have aquatic plants to increase metabolism in the water, every five to seven days I add photosynthetic bacteria to assist in cleaning up residue during the rearing process.
The habitat of your fish must ensure that there is no sudden pH fluctuation.
