Added on February 28, 2008, 6:39 pmya...hybrid groupers did grow fast.. currently average on 3kg each for 1.5 years fish. most believe it could grow even faster if we had enough supply of feeds for them. there is a time where we had a shortage of trash fish and they have to starved.

wow... thats very very high modal n investment. what would be the turn-out of using this tech? how much could u get and how long needed to cover back cost and expenses?

Moina and Daphnia can be found in waste water pond.

Culturing yourself might be a little bit tricky, with trials and error.
as for me, i always catch it from nearby wastewater pond, i can get by kilos and fed to my keli and patin larvaes!

no prob.

well, they look reddish la. when u see some reddish thing swarming on the surface of the water.. thats moina. use the white fine nets sold in lfs wan lo. kilo? weight it lo.. haha.. we catch it and put in container wan, without water. then can weight lo. haha...

maybe... not sure la. i havent seen one for sale, except frozen perhaps. but i dont like to use it, bad quality...

anyone interested in starting Patin culture? contact me 012 5674922
but im in KK area only, self collect..

For your information, breeding Kelah and farming them is not an easy task. It's better if you have some aquaculture basic to get involved in fish farming.

Ya, red tilapia is certainly easier to breed and farm. I've found out that farming tilapai, keli or even patin does generate some income (after one year practical experiences).

If you want to hire, you can pm me..

hey guys,

do u know where can i find Hapa nets? i've been looking for this net to make a holding cages in my ponds. Seems hard to get in Malaysia...
