Depends on how much your fish feed cost.

High risk yeah high return too.

Buy 10k bottles of champagne.

Airlines, hotel, service industry requires. Got demand.

how to fight vietnam?

From what I heard from my friend the fish feed price per 20kg is around rm60. With that price still can untung?

May I know what's the reason you are not in this business anymore?

Hi TS wah banyak bullets nampak, main invest aje. High risk memang high return but ada high failure also.

Apsal u no work at fish farm dulu, learn selok-belok baik-baik then baru keluar buat sendiri ?

Bro., great to know that you're the man in this line. I am really keen to learn about growing tilapias not for commercial basis rather for personal consumption instead. Would be grateful for any leads, tips, directions.

I can't remember the exact pricing I calculated last time. But back then we buy fish feed by lorry. The volume buy by tonnes. If I'm not wrong the feed that time was about rm40+ per 20kg bag.

About 60% of your cost will come from buying fish food.

As for reason I quit... Maybe ambition too big, money not enough. We wanted to farm and distribute ourselves. Coz profit margin much higher. But sales was low. And farming itself is no easy task. Each cycle takes about 6-8 months to reach acceptable size.

crowded oledi, so do other fish species farming.

real farm maybe, lots of risks involving environment

mlm, money game ... don't bother

Sure go ahead and ask. If I know I will answer.

TS, why don't you start small by rearing freshwater catfish (those African catfish variety) in HDPE tanks first? Learn the ropes and see how it goes from there...

Patin better

newbie kasi chance la... plus keli got a bigger local market

A friend of mine. An iban. From what i learn he just dug a pond on the land next to his house, n bela around 12k of talapias inside there. Maybe will try ask him more about cost n such if u interested.

Having a piece of land and good water supply is a big bonus in any aquaculture venture. Also, you friend should consider rearing tilapias in cages inside the pond for easier management and harvesting... and the mud smell lessen...

I think he also just started rearing it few months ago. Afaic, this is the 1st time he doing it. With no prior experience or anything. Told me since the land is not utilised, he just hire some ppl to dig it. Cost him around 10k just to dig the pond. N he said if the first batch berjaya, he'll dig up more ponds, since he own quite a big parcel of land in his kampung. Maybe by that time he'll only do it properly i guess.
I went to his house few times b4. That parcel of land, ada durian, ada pisang, ada macam2. N yeah. It's huge.

Based on your experience which breed of fish offers the best food to meat conversion ratio and with the shortest rearing cycle, if I had phrased it correctly.

With marketing aside, what is the most problematic issues with cultivating fish eg bacteria or fungus infection etc etc ?
