hi guys,
i've been following up on this ikan keli thread for quite some times.
seems quiet these days.

i would like to take this opportunity to ask all brothers in here.

if i wanted to be involve in ikan keli biz, where should i start, ie looking for a start-up place.

a lot of ppl says hulu langat and semenyih area. are these 2 places land cost a 'bomb'?

Cost a ''Bomb'' Means ?

meaning cost a lot of money!

any idea where i can find place to buy or renting to do this industry?

U got PM!

Here are some considerations to look for a location:

1. Near where you live
2. No cost or low cost land
3. Clean water source

That's the most important because even if you are close to your intended market and raw materials, you will not be able to sustain the biz without the 3 elements.

Hi bro Rafizi, How r u ?? So Long no 1 having discussion here..
Anyway juz wanted to ask u.. How much u'll be selling the catfish / kg ??
My fish can be harvested in another 10 days ( 5-6 fish / Kg )
Im still lookin for buyer..
can u assist me in this ??

Yes this thread has been quiet for sometime, I myself have been busy with the farm. Borong price is usually RM3.20-3.50 and retail price around RM4.50-5.00. So for this reason, it is better you approach places like restoran or mini markets, they usually will buy at higher price. Since you are in Semenyih, make an effort to find a factory in Bandar Tasik Kesuma, they need fresh keli badly on a daily basis for keli salai.

me and my friends wanna a start a kelah fish farm..which we heard can reach about 1k per kg of live fish..
is it true?
we actually trying from phase to phase since we still studying..
our fist batch will consist only 60 baby kelah..
anyone here actually involves in this bussines?
can anyone help me?
thanks.

I think this is inappropriate, kelah and keli so big difference eventho they both start with k, mod shouldnt merge this 2 threads.

Mayb the mod thought kelah=keli.

mashixx, you better pm the mod regarding this.

If we look into this topic more, it had been not only discussing about solely catfish. It had ventured into rearing of edible fish for general consumptions.

There used to be another topic also on aquaculture: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=404328&hl= which have lots of information on business strategies, pond designs, etc... Thus previously I did tried to divert you guys there.
However, since it had not been that active as it used to be; I left this topic open.

I've edi PM mod.

hey. thanks!
huhu..
so what do u think about this bussines?
is it a good investment?
because i want to gain some experiance regarding fish breeding and planning to make it in large scale as soon as i graduated

I'm only guessing here with no RND, I think mean time kelah for food is not that stable, you dun get consistent demand but I do think there is potential. You need to get ponds with constant clear water as ppl expect to eat kelah with quality minus the mud smell.

However what I do think there is potential if someone create a fishing pond of kelah, they;re known for thier powerful fighting spirit.

Try to contact http://forum.lowyat.net/user/ParaOpticaL like I mentioned in the 4th post.
He is into fish breeding and I believe they still have their usual gatherings among breeders. So you might be able to join them and learn from experience.

thanks. will contact him soon

Kelah... Hmm how much u bought the the fries ??
Since im alrdy in to keli ... I also got to know there's other fishes which still booming the market..
Thats Patin..

Anyway question is ... How long it takes to harvest kelah?
And how about Patin ??

I was curious, do people really eat freshwater fish? Based from my experience, normally people prefer the saltwater fish instead of freshwater fish.

If in this case, how’s the demand?

Most of the general restaurant are serving fresh water fish.
