Hello everyone! Hope y'all are doing great?
Today, I paid my old friend a visit as I'm improving on socializing with people. When I got to his place I saw that his dad farmed catfishes and reared goats too.
His fish farm looked really great and I had to take some shots to share here. Some ponds had really green water so you may not see the fish clearly but I made sure to take shots of the one's in Crystal clear water so you see what kind of fish he farms.
It was fun watching the fishes wiggle and jump in and out of the water though I couldn't capture those moments as they refused to pose for my camera. Haha
These are catfish, the scientific name for this fish is siluriformes they are known for their prominent barbels which looks like a car's whiskers and they're really sweet when seasoned and cooked properly. My grandma has a special way of preparing catfish pepper which I always enjoy especially when the weather is cold.
Interesting thing that I learnt about this fish is that have a lifespan of about 60yrs and that's a lot. Some humans even die younger than fishes and that's really sad.
Here are some more pictures I took.
The fishes are still young, they grow even larger than what you see here.
That's all from me today! Do stay safe and remain awesome.
You know that these days I was talking to a cab driver about a lunch I ate. I am a Venezuelan living in Cúcuta, Colombia and I love fish...my grandfather is from the coast of the country and eating fish for us is an art since we do it in a surgical way.
The point is that my fish, the one for lunch tasted like dirt and when I told the cab driver he explained to me two alternatives...either the tank where the fish grew up is not cleaned and has dirt or thanks to the rains here in Cúcuta, the dirt has moved so much that the taste was affected.
Greetings brother.
Oh! So sorry about that but why wasn't the fish cleaned properly before cooking? That's something that should be on check and it's not fair to just let the fish stay in sorry water. These one that my friend's dad farms, once the water is dirty, he transfers them to a clean water pond to avoid the fishes dying or having any bad smell.

I wish and pray to have a life span like this catfish or even longer. Hahahah:) Looks like they're enjoying.
They're really enjoying. Lol, I wish for my lifespan to be even more longer. Thanks for stopping by🥰
It must be fun seeing all those fish species :) And it's amazing that they can live up to 60 years, wow!
Their life span is what amazes me more. Haha
They do live long which is quite fascinating.
Really fascinating 😌
