loache in rice farming

Post by sjyoung »

hi,
I have a book titled "The Power of Duck" written by a rice farmer named Takao Furuno. In the book are pictures of loaches which he raises in the rice paddy and harvest them together with the rice.
Would anybody know anthing about this? What kind of loach was he using?

You mean this > http://home.att.ne.jp/kiwi/AptNo7/furuno.html

They are most likely the Weather loach, which i would assume he keeps for a delicacy.
