Ya, anyone that has experience bela ikan in aquarium or plant plants in their garden will know actually
Plantation / Lifestock = seem easy in the eyes of outsiders.
As in, just plant a few trees. remember to water and baja, what could go wrong?
But they dont know = weather, season, watering volume, what type of soil, pest, penyakit, etc. Any one of those can kill the whole land of plants.

Same goes to aquarium, just bela a few ikans, remember to feed and change water.
But they dont know the PH, temperature, quarantine, bacteria, water ppi, parasite, etc. Also any one of those can kill the whole fish.

Those bela ayam, babi also the same.


Really have to put time and effort into the land.

Corruption is killing the country far more than Covid-19, its the main reason why one of the main focus China had when Xi Jing Ping came to power was curbing or at least significantly reducing bribery and corruption. The effects of it are now quite visible as everything works in China and most things work very well or excellently.

Tilapias at home, it is fairly easy to do in a 3x6 tank. I think you could buy them from most aquarium shops for under RM500 inclusive of the filter box. Add around RM2-300 more for the pumps and a good idea to add a battery backup pump. You can then connect the pumps to a hydroponic growing system, either a pre-made one or build them off your own 3" pipes and net cups. Can be done if you have an area that has at least 2 hours of sunlight each day else you need LED grow lamps. I know someone that does does in a yard of a condo, produces enough vegetables for his family of 5.

These type of ventures, it is best you leave it to an established consultant if you don't know what you are doing. There are people out there that you could engage to give you a turnkey project and it will work out cheaper and more profitable in the long run to pay a bit more upfront.

There are reasons why in Malaysia it isn't advisable to have all sorts of farm animals in one place. Chief among which are disease control.

The real prize these days for those "rich man hobby farms" are permaculture ones, there is a video series on YouTube called Back To Eden Gardening method, tried it before with some varying success rates but in the end decided these are hobbies to pursue after I have retired and have all the time in the world.

Thanks bro., for the tip. A man I once met was into self sufficiency and he lamented his stocks were simply dying off. That got me interested as I love problems and love fishes as well. I always believe in doing the right thing from the beginning and doing it once. All these redoing and redoing and never ending redoing shows the lack of planning or perhaps that was the plan, to constantly redo things for some. Baru a project ma. Kalau takde problem, kita bikin problem, as our politicians would say. 😂😂😂 So until I have a complete grip on this streptococcus thingy, I am not moving an inch. 😊

I heard ppl just make a toilet above a pond, and the pond below rear fish

So the fish makan taik

Anyone can confirm?

I can 100% confirm, I have seen that more 100 times, in Pahang, and some areas in Selangor like Broga.
Ikan Tilapia eats just everything including poops.
That's why they were selling so cheap.
Many of my family members don't eat them for reasons.
But river fish are inexpensive, that's why they became the favorite food for some family who have lower income.
Above statement came from my personal experience, no offence laugh.gif

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 ?

My first few trails, I think..... because haven't confirmed the final count yet..... I lost 2500+pcs of 1.5" fries to King Fishers and Herons . Then about 100pcs of 600g to hot weather that lower the DO. And then, don't know how many to a family of otters.

Like you I was also worried about bacterial, fungus and parasite, so up from we ensured that the stocking density is very low. So far these wasn't much of an issue.

Thank you for replying for I had almost forgotten about tilapia. LOL Yes I believe the main contentious issue with tilapia is stocking density. Since everyone's system is vastly different, stocking densities are different too, not to mention other various factors that affects stocking density.

When stocking density is low although is it good for the fishes, suddenly the math doesn't look quite as promising.

Thank you for your sharing, I had no idea that so many other animals preyed on tilapias. Otters your place must be near a stream or river I presume ?

There is nothing quite like harvesting your own food or sharing it with your closest family and friends.
