Home away from Home
In late September my cousin Mo decided to build him a fish pool so he can raise a few hundred fishes for food. Raising fishes is as typical as having a garden so people can cut down on grocery bills. Since my other aunt who is living next door has raised some fishes before and has started a new group of fishes in her concrete pool, Mo thought it would be a good idea to get a hands on learning experience.
When I asked him about his fish pond a few days ago, Mo told me he didn’t pass the water test and would have to seal the walls better so water won’t leak out. He just started his accounting study at the university in Pakse last weekend so I am not sure if he will have the time to take care of his fishes. Mo said that it’s not so difficult since you can feed the fishes and clean the pool on schedule. I told him to put some phak thob in the pool so the fishes can feel more like home before they will be served at the dinner table.

Water Lily and Phak thob can also serve as their food, my fish love eating the roots of the Phak thob. The water plants help making the water clearer; they also help to control the algae in the water. I love my fishpond but cannot imagine eating my fish.

Nye: I don’t think I can eat the fish either. Couldn’t even eat my own chickens.
Dallas: They have a mosquito net over the pond, not sure how that will work though.
