What is the name of this fish in Thailand? Stream fish? The local people don't fish or eat because they are worried that it is poisonous, but why is it poisonous? It turns out that this has something to do with the diet of these fish.
There are many strange tropical trees around the waters where stream fish live. The flowers, fruits and even branches of these trees are poisonous. These flowers and fruits fall into the stream and are eaten by the fish in the stream. Although they are harmless, it is difficult to protect them from being eaten day after day. Poison into the five internal organs? Therefore, local people dare not eat it to avoid indirect poisoning.
Although these fish can't be people's dishes, they have unexpectedly found other wonderful uses. When people bathe or swim in the stream, these stream fish will swim around and suck dead skin and impurities on the surface of human skin, which is very similar to the popular hot spring fish therapy in China, so the locals simply developed it into a natural fish therapy center, and people came here in an endless stream and became a new tourist attraction.
But what we usually see in fish therapy are small fish of several centimeters, and these big fish of several tens centimeters swim around in droves to suck their skin. Isn't this a bit of a fuss? Scare people? Although it won't cause harm to human body, it really doesn't look as sweet and lovely as Xiaoyu.
This is the Thai stream fish that Bian Xiao will introduce to you today. Because there is no salvage and no upper predators, the biological chain is broken and even submerged. Although it has been developed into a natural fish therapy center, there are more and more fish, which grow bigger and bigger. I wonder if they will be suitable for fish treatment centers in the future. Are you interested in trying such a fish therapy center? Welcome to comment on Bian Xiao's message.
