Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 183 Returning South for the New Year 6

"Your arowana is so perfectly shaped, and it has such a domineering presence. It must be a show-quality arowana."

Xiaomeng gave him an approving look. "You have good taste. This arowana of mine is indeed a show-quality fish, a standard golden-headed crossback. Look at its large and shiny scales. Speaking of which, this fish tank is really nice, and the aquatic plants are also very well maintained."

After hearing what she said, Xiao Tang also started to appreciate the fish tank.

This aquarium is indeed well-designed. It not only has smooth white pebbles, driftwood, and a small amount of aquatic stone, but also a lot of aquatic plants. At first glance, it looks like a small underwater world.

Fortunately, the aquarium is large, and the aquascaping is only at the bottom. There is still a lot of open water at the top of the aquarium, which allows the arowana to swim around freely.

Xiaomeng's competition-grade golden arowana, like a majestic general clad in armor, patrols its territory.

Xiaomeng liked it more and more as she looked at it. "General Jin is really nice! Oh? Miss Jin has grown quite a bit too! She seems to have grown a few centimeters. Sister Zhang, thank you for your hard work. You must have put a lot of effort into taking care of these ornamental fish." Xiaomeng thanked the housekeeper standing next to her.

After receiving thanks from her employer, Aunt Zhang smiled broadly. "It's nothing. Fish farm staff come to take care of the fish every few days, and we feed them according to their instructions. These fish are very valuable; thankfully, nothing went wrong."

Xiao Tang commented on the "ten thousand yuan" fish: "This smaller arowana is called Miss Jin. Although it's only a sub-adult, it's already growing quite well. Its scales are very well-developed. In a few more months, it will grow into a perfect show-quality fish."

Xiaomeng was quite pleased to hear him praise "Miss Jin," which showed that she had a good eye for buying fish.

As Xiaomeng walked past the arowana tank, her gaze shifted to the fish tank on the low cabinet next to it. There was another fish tank there, containing two goldfish. She remembered that these two seemed to be free gifts. They were given to her by the store when she bought "Miss Golden".

"Wow, these two fish are so friendly! They stick to the glass as soon as they see someone coming." Xiaomeng saw the two fish swimming around, looking adorably ugly, and couldn't resist putting her hand into the fish tank.

The two fish actually scrambled to put their heads into her palm, their mouths opening and closing as if begging for food.

"Oh, how cute!" Xiaomeng thought the two Ranchu goldfish looked like adorable puppies. She saw a bag of fish food on top of the fish tank, took a few pellets, poured them into her palm, and then put her hand into the fish tank.

Sure enough, the two fish eagerly came over and ate them one by one with great relish.

After eating a few, she still wasn't satisfied and looked like she wanted more.

Just as Xiaomeng was about to reach for the fish food bag, Sister Zhang reminded her from the side, "Miss, this fish has already been fed today. If you feed it again, it might die from overeating. The pet shop owner reminded us that we shouldn't feed it too much at once."

Xiaomeng quickly stopped, "Really? Poor little guy."

Xiao Tang came over to take a look. "These two ugly things are really interesting. Their tail fins are so short, and they wriggle when they swim. By the way, they look a bit like Corgis. Hahaha, the Corgis of fish."

"Huh? What is it doing?"

Xiaomeng also noticed, "No way, is it eating poop? And is that thing floating in the water their own poop?"

Aunt Zhang's eyes widened, and she quickly stepped forward to examine the area closely. "No way?"

Xiaomeng pleaded for the goldfish, "Sister, let's feed them a little more. These two look really hungry. Since they're my pet fish, we can't let them starve to the point of eating poop!"

"Hahaha, so hungry they're eating shit." Xiao Tang laughed so hard he almost fell over.

Xiaomeng ignored it and scattered a few more fish food pellets. Sure enough, the two pounced on them like hungry tigers.

Not long after, Xiaomeng noticed that the fish's belly was starting to swell, and she stopped feeding it.

The fish seemed much more active after eating.

"Xiaomeng, your pet is so funny! It really looks like a dog, it lies on people's hands." Xiao Tang also reached into the fish tank to play with the Ranchu.

Ms. Zhang said, "Could this fish really be hungry? It doesn't seem to be like this before."

"Oh, by the way, miss, when the fish shop owner came to take care of the fish before, he mentioned that once these goldfish grow a bit bigger, they'll need a larger tank. He asked if you'd like him to send over a suitable tank."

“Okay, then let’s get a bigger fish tank. Have him install the new fish tank in the study on the second floor. I want to keep these two goldfish in the study.”
