This sting ray is priced at 3,000,000 NTD or $100,000 USD. \u003cbr/\u003e\"A-long\" Aquarium in Taiwan says this Polka Dot Ray has bred five of these unique aquarium fish from the original stingray imported from Brazil. Customers from China have already bought two of these fish. \u003cbr/\u003eBut sadly this unique fish could not survive without human intervention as it needs to be hand fed: \"Our stingray is very unique. In general, the regular stingray has a round body. But you see the one we own has a groove at the front of its head. This stingray is mutated. It's difficult to breed one with the groove in the front. Normally a stingray hunts shellfish with its mouth. But the mutated stingray can't hunt shellfish because the groove prevents its from catching its own food. So they have to be hand fed. This mutated stingray can't be survived in the ocean\" says Lin Yue-ping, the breeder at A-long Aquarium.\u003cbr/\u003eAmong the rare and beautiful specimens are popular aquarium fish such as goldfish and mini shrimps, for example: Red Cherry shrimps.\u003cbr/\u003eBut for many Chinese, aquariums mean more than just owning pretty or colourful fish. \u003cbr/\u003eThey are also good for the \"Feng Shui\" of your household.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe Chinese believe that having water in your home can improve your house's \" Feng Shui\", or positive energy, and people are willing to pay for their good Feng Shui. \u003cbr/\u003eThese fish tanks with miniature landscapes can cost between 120,000 NTD to 300,000 NTD ($4,000 USD to $10,000 USD) .\u003cbr/\u003e \"I want to build a fish tank with a beautiful miniature landscape and it's different from traditional tanks. You can put it in the house to create good Feng Shui or put it in the office that would help the company, bringing good fortune and wealth. The miniature landscape in my fish tank always attacts people's attention\", says Huang Hua-zhen, a fish tank landscaper.\u003cbr/\u003eBut not everyone is interested in pretty colourful fish. A biologist, Hsiao Cher-ming, from Taiwan's National Museum, has found a way to breed Upside Down Jelly fish. \u003cbr/\u003eThis Jelly fish has a symbiotic relationship with algae:\"The jelly fish turns itself upside down in order to catch sunlight evenly. And you can also find algae on this jelly fish. It's an amazing symbiotic relationship between algae and jellyfish. Algae provides nutrition to the jelly fish and the jelly fish's excrement gives the algae what it needs. It's perfect teamwork between them\" says Hsiao Cher-ming.\u003cbr/\u003eBecause of this type of jelly fish's sensitivity towards pollution, Hsiao Cher-ming says the Museum can use the jelly fish to help monitor the quality of the ecosystem and pollution in the open ocean. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Taipei Aquarium show runs until September 29. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eTaipei, Taiwan - 27 September 2013.\u003cbr/\u003e1.
