Catfish Farming

This time I also wanted to share my experience about how or catfish farming techniques.

Catfish cultivation does not require a complex treatment regimen. No need to dig in the dirt or make the pond and do not need to create a pool of concrete, but simply using tarps or deklit. But if not permanent can dig the ground or create a pool of concrete.

Using a tarp or deklit have advantages and disadvantages. Those advantages are low cost, practical, easy to make, and easy dipindakahkan wherever we want, as well as the process becomes very easy to harvest. The disadvantage is not as durable-good quality tarp could last more than 3 years, if the leak would be quite difficult, and likely to tear.

For the small-cap and are eager to learn, I guess the choice of using a tarp quite right.

For 1000 memilahara tail catfish enough sheeting measuring 4 × 6 meters. Tarp this size can be made into a pond measuring 2 × 3 meters. Size 2 × 3 with a thickness of 80 cm of water is the ideal size for 1000 tail catfish. Tarpaulin-bend bent in such a way that resembles the above-ground concrete pool.

Corners or in the pool can be supported sekiling with wood or bamboo. My experience, supported with cotton or kapok tree better. In addition to strong, cotton trees grow so that it can not decay, durable.

Once the pool finished, prepare a medium. Anyway ... preferably before the new sheeting is used, soaked first in clean water or washed with chemicals that are contained in a tarp can be reduced.

The key to success of any maintenance of fish, including catfish, is the preparation of the medium. The better the medium it will be better the results. Media like home for these fish. Media is meant here is water. Catfish do not have running water like other fish making it easier for us who are in areas that supply the water a bit.

Fill the pond with water up to 15-20 cm. Then, sow manure or cow manure in ponds thick undercooked 5-10 cm. Then scatter the banana stem or debog also in Java and Bali. Banana cut into pieces and scatter in the pool as well. I know my banana stem sap either to kill harmful bacteria. Sprinkle the leaves are also perishable. Coconut fibers can also be added in an amount not too much.

Leave for 1 to 2 weeks. Brownish colored water will even up to a greenish color. Green water color indicates water is ready to be used as media. Microorganisms thrive in the water already is required by the catfish.

If you want faster results, can use a solution of EM (effective microorganism) that can be easily purchased in stores or farmers can also make your own. But be careful with the mosquitoes that breed in stagnant water in ponds for 1-2 weeks. Deliver a small fish in the pond to eat mosquito larvae. Can also use a small catfish, catfish totaling 10 fish to control mosquito larvae.

Once the media is ready, add the water wells in the pool up to a thickness of 80 cm. Should avoid using tap water or taps, because it contains chlorine which is not good for catfish and microorganisms that grow in ponds. If water is not available enough, is filled with 40 cm first, and added little by little, over the catfish. If media is good then it could push the death of catfish to below 5%.

Sprinkle catfish seed size 2-5, but do not trigger sown. Usually the seeds are in a plastic bag filled with water. Place the bag in the water pool, so there is no adjustment of temperature and stress catfish. Seeding done early morning or late afternoon, where the surface temperature of the pool is not too different from the temperature at the bottom of the pool.

Catfish feed is available at many stores. For homemade food, I have not dared to write it here because it has not succeeded 100%. So we would not want to feed manufacturers dependence. wuih ... very unpleasant.

Conducted feeding morning and evening, which usually have a catfish is a high appetite. Adjust the amount of feed with western agencies, which is 5% of the total weight of all the population pool. If I do not usually bother with the 5%, but viewed from the feeding behavior of catfish. Give a little food, look at the behavior of catfish. If you feed wild prey, then give it a little longer, until a way to eat it is not too wild. Do not give too much food because it can make catfish became bloated and died.

Ideally in the daytime as well fed, but feed a lot of means of production costs as well. It should be handled by providing additional food during the day. For example, giving a dead chicken hanging from the surface of the pond so that the remains of inedible chicken waste and we could not be garbage in the pond. It could also give worms and bran, or giving snails, or other food additives that do not need to buy.

Catfish will be ready to harvest in the age of 2-3 months, with the size of 8-12 individuals per kilogram. But ask the buyer or the merchant, they demanded a measure of how much. Large catfish tend to be sold in the market, but sold in fishing.

Cultivation systems.

There are three known breeding system, namely:

1. Bulk systems. Performed by placing the male and female catfish in a pond with a certain ratio. In this system the male parent is free to seek a partner for mating in the nest spawning invited, so it really depends on the activity of the male parent looking for a partner.

2. Pair the system. Performed by placing the male and female in a special pool. Its success is determined by the accuracy of determining a suitable match between the two carriers.

3. Injection seeding system (Hyphofisasi).

Performed by stimulating the catfish to spawn by injection or ovulation Hyphofise gland extracts, which are at the bottom of the brain. For this purpose there must be a fish as a donor Hyphofise gland which also must be of the type of catfish.
