Hi everybody! I am new here. My interest is in Soon Hock and have benefited reading the many tips members here have provided on the subject. Some questions I have hopefully some of u may know the answers of and they are:
1. Other than fr the wild malaysian soon hock farmers(say those in Johor) get their fingerlings from what reliable sources?
2. Is integrated soon hock/tilapia farming a reliable and significant source for fingerlings supply?
3. I was told there is an uncle in Kulai who is successful breeding and raising soon hock fingerlings in earthen ponds(the natural way) and is regular supplier of fingerlings to farms in Johor. Any body here can provide his address and contact number?

Hi and thank u for yr response.

I don't culture soon hock. Only tilapia.

From what I saw.
They place a flat altar like above water, using pond not the floating type.
Place all kinds of dead animals.
Let it rot, then the corpse worm will fall into water for the waiting soon hock. Mainly because soon hock don't swim around much. From there I didn't enquire much but I've been told its profitable.

If you plan to use tilapia feed for fingerling. Best to buy from nearest shop. Actually would save more from transport cost.

Unless you into tilapia farming, then you could consider to understand my feed.
