Hello Hivers
Previously I've said that I'm getting interested in developing a home business which I think is quite promising, that is fish farming, as in my previous post, and a few days ago I started to explore little by little about this business, I came back to visit a new catfish farming pond was ready to be made, and they had just started sowing fish seeds when I arrived at the location
This is an artificial pond made on an empty land measuring about one hectare, and each pond is 6x6 meters in diameter in the shape of a circle as shown in the picture above, each pond can accommodate from 4-5 thousand catfish seeds, until they are ready to harvest, the process The cultivation lasts three months from the first time the seeds are sown until they can be harvested and sold on the market
If calculated from the cost of making this pool, one pool can cost around IDR 5,000,000, and for all the pools seen above there are 12 pools, if totaled as a whole then the costs incurred by this young entrepreneur almost touch hundreds. million rupiah, you can judge for yourself why he dared to spend such a large amount of capital, that's why I am very serious about learning this business now
The circle of this pond is formed using iron wire and tightly closed using thick tarpaulin so that all parts are covered, and equipped with construction pipes and also oxygen hoses which are useful for the fish later, everything needs to be considered in as much detail as possible so that the results obtained later can be maximum,
The function of the drain pipe is to replace the pool water automatically every time, without having to drain the pond to move the fish seeds later, besides that it is also useful so that the pool water is not dirty and smelly, maybe you will wonder why the pool water looks above it is very dirty, while I said that the pool water should not be dirty, well, it is a pool that has never been used at all, and what looks dirty is rainwater that has stagnated because of the rain that has continued to hit in the last few days, later they will drain all the ponds before they release the fish seeds, it just so happened that at that time the fish seeds had arrived and were being sorted when I arrived
It turns out that not only catfish seeds will be cultivated here, there will also be tilapia and snapper that will be released in several of the ponds above, all of these seeds came from my cousin who does have a special fish seed business, and today he act as the main supplier of fish seeds in my area
From all the pictures above, I can conclude that this is a promising business, and there's nothing wrong with trying it, it does require a bit of large capital, but there are two options to start this business, one or the other option is simply to use vacant land at home. only, and there's no need for oxygen at all, let's look at an example of a pond for that option
Now this is an option that I want to try first later, apart from being easy the costs incurred are also more economical than the previous pond, just dig a hole and form two terraced ponds, and turn on the water faucet which acts as a waste, besides that the fish seeds are released also not too much because there is no oxygen in this pond, each of these ponds has two types of different sizes of fish, it is intended that the discharge from the pond water inhabited by large fish can flow into ponds that have small fish, and by itself, a process like this can also help the development of these fish in the pond
For now, that's all I know about this fish business, I will share again if I have gained more knowledge from these young entrepreneurs, so see you in the next post and thank you🙏
