That agriculture business is just temp side income while that piece of land is real deal.

Looks like a lovely place to rear fish. And the tilapias are progressing well into marketable size. Just remember to practice good hygiene and aquaculture biosecurity. One of the biggest problem plaguing even expert tilapia culturists in West Malaysia is the Streptococcosis disease. It usually attack adult tilapias near marketable size. So please use only reputable feed pellets and keep clean. Good luck to your friend!

Invest in Ikan pew pew

Thanks for the advice. Will relay to my fren later. I did also ask him to go enrol courses or go fishery dept try ask for advice. He did say wanna add on more fish into the pond, but cant get the seeds for now. Susah mau dapat currently he said.

Very nice. Thanks mate.

Streptococcosis plaguing experts ? Habis la non-expert non-intellectual want to newbie like me.

What does the attack happens only when the tilapias reaches near marketable size ?

The tilapia fingerlings are one of the most suseptable group to carry the strep disease. Must get from a disease free hatchery or supplier with disease free certification.

On the other side of the pond i think he got bela around 30 kambing or so.
Nice to have ur own land, especially at times like this. Dun need to worry about food supplies lol.

The strep bacteria behavior like that I guess... I am not an expert in fish disease.

Oh. For this i also had no idea where he get those anak ikan.
Ok. Will surely keep this in mind n let him know the next time i see him. Since his shop is just somewhere around mine.

30 kambing aje ? Give me and it will have all sorts of farm animals in the "Garden of Eden". 😊 Agreed, the tranquility among the chaos, there's nothing quite like it especially during dawn and dusk.

Bro, would you know the standard practice that is taught by the Fisheries Dept or practiced among tilapia farmers on quarantining procedures of tilapia fingerlings especially to address the strep disease ?

Iinm he bela all these things also jus bcoz he doesnt wan the land to go to waste. Don't think he's able to bela too much since there's nobody to help him to take care of things. Told me he bela those kambing also bcoz his mother volunteered to help feed them. Else i don't think he'll even go bela them.
But those fishes, he did say if the 1st batch is successful, he's gonna pour more resources into it. With the land he owned, dig a few more more ponds that I'd posted earlier also shouldn't be a problem.

Bela because his mother volunteered to feed ! Oh my. Yup, you are right about pour more resources as I am sure he wouldn't anything to go to waste.

Since the mother also bored sitting at home doing nothing lol. Plus he's not married. Mau jaga cucu pun xde cucu boleh dijaga. So jaga kambing jer lah.
