2k. Lets say have a 1.5 FCR. 1.5kg of feed produces 1 kg of fish. And u want to sell the fish at 300gms(c fish@rm5). So 2000 x 0.3kg = 600kg. For your fish to reach 600kg u need 600 x 1.5 = 900kg of feed. Pellets cost around RM2.80/kg. So RM2.80 x 900 = RM2520. And your sales will be RM5 x 600 = RM3000. So theres not much to be made at all with 2000 C fish. Unless u sell A fish @ 0.7kg per fish. So you can roughly do the math now. I hope i didnt mislead or misinform.

Thanks for sharing.

Would a diet of just greens slow the growth ?
Lately i've observed duckweed in my lily tub growing like crazy. Wonder if its good feed material ?

Didn't grow it on purpose. It came with the pot of water lily purchased from a vendor earlier. Added guppies for mozzy control. Then i started to realize the pot constantly gets filled with duckweed. rclxub.gif

Might have slower growth then pellets or meat based foods. But apparently duckweed has 40% protein. And the fishes love it. I can never grow enough. I have designated ponds which are solely for duckweed and using used water from the fish tanks. And i still do not have enough duckweed for the whole farm. But remember to add some other fishes which doesnt eat duckweed to control mosquitoes. Like the Moustache fish or prawns. Our arowanas love the moustache fish.

Wonder what is the sweet spot for duckweed growth.

Hi all,

I am new in this field and currently helping my boss to sell his fry. I wonder if any of the sifu can guide me on how to find customer for fry? My boss and me are totally new in this field, we don't have a customer base yet. So far, I've been thinking to do newspaper advertisement. But is very costly. sad.gif
