Samaesan Part III: Percula Farm

Coming into this small village, the eye-catching signpost of nemo fish (clown fish/anemone fish) has led me to this interesting tropical fish aquarium. Many kind of fish are raised here, but the highlight is clown fish. Admittance is cheap at 20 baht per pax, it initially gave me a wrong perception that it is another conman's farm for tourists (I used to visit a deer farm somewhere near Korat and only to find out handful of deers were raised in that so-called deer farm). The aquarium is not big, but is packed with all kind of surprises.

You don't have to spend a lot energy to "finding nemo", because nemo is everywhere here. Raised in big quantity, the farm is actually selling nemo in wholesaler scale.

I was lucky to catch the feeding time. Fishes are gathered near the pond, knowing it's time for a big feast.

Nursery of Nemo - It is not easy to take a sharp photo on these little fast moving fishes, but one thing good is that nemo are so friendly and come close to human when you are near to the tank.

How are you?
