A close-up look at the school of fish 'no one dares to eat'

One special thing here is the fish only swim about 100 meters from the shore before turning back, never going far. The Kamluang sacred fish stream has long been famed as a sacred fish stream because it carries mysterious legends tied to the tale of the snake god. Ever since the snake lived in the village, drought no longer plagued the land. The snake died fighting a water monster to protect the villagers and was honored by heaven. The four palaces dragon king. To show gratitude, the villagers buried it and built a temple. From then on, the jade stream before the temple suddenly had a school of fish coming to pay homage. Lunch isn't done yet, but the whole group is heading to visit the sacred fish stream. Nestled at the foot of Truong Sin Peak, the Kamluang sacred fish stream holds clear, pure waters. It has long been famed as a sacred fish stream because it carries deeply mysterious legends. The Kamluang sacred fish stream is tied to the tale of the According to the old tale, an elderly couple lived here but had no children. Every day they went to the fields by the stream to farm and catch fish. One day, while catching fish and snails, the wife scooped up an egg. Curious, she put it back, but it kept returning. After many times of scooping it up and putting it back, the egg stayed in the basket. The wife decided to bring the egg home. The couple had a hen try to hatch it. Some time later, the egg hatched into a snake, frightening the couple. The husband took the snake to the jade stream to release it. But every morning he released it, the snake returned home by evening. With no other choice, the couple let the snake live at home. Gradually, the snake grew familiar with the family. Ever since the snake lived in the village, drought no longer plagued the land. The villagers had enough water for farming, the fields flourished, and life grew more prosperous. One night, suddenly heavy rain fell and thunder roared. At dawn, the villagers found a dead snake washed up at the foot of Truong Sim Peak, by the stream. The snake had died fighting a water monster to protect the villagers, and was honored by the heavens. As the four palaces' dragon king, to show gratitude, the villagers buried it and built a shrine. Since then, a school of fish appeared from nowhere to pay homage before the shrine's sacred stream. Locals call them sacred fish and never eat from the sacred stream. On special occasions, people living nearby have spotted kingfish with red rims around their gills, eyes with red and blue hues, and tails dotted with red and blue edges. No one has ever weighed a kingfish, but many elderly Muong people insist they can reach 30 to 40 kilos. Oh wow, it's bustling, the fish are swarming, so many of them. Some are dark, some are light, they don't look the same at all. According to the stories, kingfish only appear as the leaders of the school, to honor the snake god. The deity was enshrined in the Cam Luong sacred fish stream. However, another theory suggests that due to their massive size, plus seismic activity, the cave entrance narrowed, so kingfish no longer appear outside. One special mystery here remains unsolved, the fish only swim about 100 meters from the cave mouth, then turn back, never going far. Despite floods sweeping through, water surging from the cave or pouring down from the western forest, the stream has often overflowed across the fields. After the floodwaters receded, the fish still swam in crowds as if nothing had happened, day after day. The sacred fish of Cam Luong always follow their natural cycle, never changing. By day they leave the cave to feed in the stream and greet visitors, at night they retreat into the cave to rest. With the locals' belief in the sacred fish and the authorities' protection of nature, the stream remains crystal clear, and the fish are still abundant, proof of nature's gift. To the people, to the waters, and to this land. They've got plenty of food here, you know. At night, we feed them. At night, they line up and eat. Oh my god, look at that one. That one's pregnant. Yeah, that one looks pregnant. There must be a few hundred here. So many, man. Wow, these are all big ones. Deeper in, they're even bigger. Whoa, it bit my hand. Come on, bite it, bite it. Here, here. So many fish, yet the water doesn't smell fishy. Yeah, the water's still flowing, you know. But this cave opening is small. Small as it is, at night all the fish hide in here. But inside, it must be really spacious. It sleeps a bit here, then slips back out. There's a bent hole inside here. We're in a really wide area here. It's very spacious in here. At night, they go back in. But it's truly strange. Living in here, I don't know what they eat to survive. There's a cow here with six legs and two tails. A mutation. This is the path up to the cave. A ladder. Warning, danger, landslide, can't go up. If we had time, we'd climb up the peak and explore it. A few hundred meters more, but we don't have enough time today, so we're heading to Lua Peak instead. Next time we come back, we'll explore the summit. This stretch has the most fish. The shrine of the four palaces Dragon King. Wow, they're swarming. Heading upstream. Hold it, just raise your hand. Don't stand too deep. They shouldn't be too high. These ones only eat hair. That way. These fish are really hungry. Before, they also sold puffed rice cakes here. Yeah, puffed rice cakes, they feed them. I've been here for over 10 years now. No matter how many leaves fall. There are no leaves left here, however many fall, they eat them all. So how could the water not be clean? They eat everything, so of course it's clean. I'd like to end the video here.
