For some reason that has stopped. . |
farming ornamental fish for export, or even just buying them locally and exporting at a profit is a good idea.
here in south africa, those gouramis the thais turn into pla-ra sell for around 160 baht each. if you can crack the market and get the logistics right, i think there is great potential.
i also read the discus thing (think he called himself "discusfarmer"), but he was not giving away too much info, so he probably had a bloody good little business going, and wanted to protect it.
work out feed costs, then price realised per kg, and it makes an whole lot more sense than screwing around farming catfish or tilapia for the peasants!
