Do we have any fish farmers on the forum? Maybe someone knows if it's a profitable business. What fish are best to farm? How do you determine the cost of fish food over the growing period of a fish...or a school of fish.
At the moment we have what's left of 800 fingerlings given to us by local ag office. They gave us 150kg of 25% protein fish food so, so far we haven't spent a baht.
As the klong drains into the dam when the water is high...not for the last 2 weeks though...we have scored a few extra fish! We have more fingerlings up to 2cm. Other fish up to approx 5cm, 8cm and 12cm. As of Friday I have increased feeding to twice a day as I noticed the bigger fish eat more than one or 2 or 3 food prills! The fingerlings as nibbling on one prill!
Not being a fish expert all I can say is some are silver and some are black! When we have a fishing rod or net we may get some pixs. And NO! The wife doesn't know the English names for them either! Seems like there is a lot to learn....
