How I Raise My Freshwater Prawns

[@evan-oliver228]

I would love to see a how to grow prawn video from beginning to end!

[@tonylars4128]

Winner of a video, been searching for "shrimp farms in the us" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Eenva Harrowing Eradicator - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a good one off product for discovering how to start a shrimp farming business minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my friend got excellent success with it.

[@angelnunez8760]

This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "pond shrimp freshwater" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Eenva Harrowing Eradicator - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a great exclusive guide for discovering how to start a shrimp farming business without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got amazing results with it.

Hey KTPrawns. Thanks for all your help! I have been raising my pet prawn for 1 year and everything went well and is now growing well and properly. It just molted 1 day ago LMAO and grew new claws. It's a male. Thanks!

[@madbeast002]

How big was your freshwater shrimp of 1 year old ?

[@KTPrawns]

Depending on feeding and water conditions, my 1 year Prawn is over 6 inch.

[@madbeast002]

Does space size also affect the growth rate of the prawn ?

[@KTPrawns]

It does but not as much as water conditions and feeding. Space will affect survival. The Prawns need to find a safe place to molt since they can't defend themselves while molting. The other Prawns will happily make a meal of an easy target.

Lovely Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Elenajan Supplement Smasher (do a search on google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learning how to shrimp farm like a pro minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my old buddy Taylor finally got amazing results with it.

Would prawns work for an aquaponics setup and what percentage of the food could you save by feeding them garden scraps?

[@erickmaldonado7676]

Ordered 12 juvies from you months ago and all were healthy and alive. I have none left now though. I had a male who out grew all the prawns extremely quickly and I believe he killed them off one by one. I should have made this setup so that didn't happen. I just kept mine in a bare bottom tote which worked for a few months but they all disappeared one by one after a while. These are great if you have snail problems too, noticed I had almost no snails and looked up if prawns eat snails and found out they do.

[@ericmadrigal1452]

Hi Can you post a video based on larvae rearing with brackish water And how to Thanks

[@darrelldewoody]

Hi when raising in basement do they need special lighting. and if so how much

[@KTPrawns]

No, I don't have anything special lighting. They get a little bit of light through the small window during the day.

[@MrJerrybnapao]

You did not discuss the food that you feed these prawns?

[@Juana4ev]

Where did you get your prawns?

[@josephdarroux9798]

Hey KT, I would like to know what feed do you use for feeding your prawns? Tks for all the help.

[@91yoshio]

This video is so cool! I would like some help, how many adult shrimp of 8 grams can I keep in a box like the one in the video?

[@harnett5758]

Do they require brackish water to breed? Was reading somewhere the larva required it to survive

[@koomishobbychannel]

do you need any other mixtures in you water for the eggs to hatch?

[@mangkenor5745]

Is this for breeding set up 2 males and 6 females? Is this the ideal ratio?

[@madbeast002]

How big do i need them to be to consider them as breeders

[@KTPrawns]

They can breed as young as 3-4 months old, around 4 inches or so.

[@madbeast002]

What is the type of prawns?

[@stevenlin8327]

hello KT , just few question to ask1,if my tank is 2m x 4m x 1m(high) how many prawn can I put in2,after adding substrates how many prawn can put in . thanks

[@KTPrawns]

+battle dokkan That's about 72 sq ft of floor space. You can stock about 50 Prawns multiple by X numbers of layers you have on the substrates. If you make a substrate that's 6 inches apart, you'll have 6 layers so you can stock 300 Prawns. I hope that helps.

[@stevenlin8327]

substrates will be the 0.5m x 4m this will be 2 of substrates in one tank as you have say 6 layers is 300 thats mean 300 of grown big size prawn?by the way thanks for the help

[@mangkenor5745]

@@stevenlin8327 how about the aeration? Do we have to add compressor?

[@swaroopcool22]

How do you distinguished between a male and female prawn when you bought them from the market ?

[@KTPrawns]

Male are usually much bigger with large claws. Female have smaller claws and have a more rounder body.

[@safetyleednkom8274]

What do you do with new born babies? I mean like how you take care of them? Could yu please make a video sir?

I am from srilanka I just start with four pond fres water prown farm.plz would like to know how to feed properly and grow healthy

[@johngabrielgenuino2357]

what are the netting for? :)

[@Sheng_Wong]

Hi KT, I just wanna ask if you have big prawns, small prawns and Juvenile prawns in a 10 or 12ft pond will they attack and eat each other?

[@KTPrawns]

Yes, the will attack each other if they don't have enough space. So netting substrates is needed to add more crawl space.

[@mangkenor5745]

@@KTPrawns do they crawl at the elevated nets?

[@KTPrawns]

Yes, they will.

[@mangkenor5745]

@@KTPrawns you mean we can add additional prawn to grow?even the pool size does not change.the aeration should be double also

[@mangkenor5745]

@@KTPrawns this may cause a congestion and overcrowding from my opinion.

[@mfredricknew]

what do you feed them or what will they eat?

[@KTPrawns]

Feed them high protein sinking game fish pellets... They also eat any vegetables that is lightly boiled too..

[@JkouFiles]

How wel do they do in tap water?

[@KTPrawns]

+Jkou Files Tap water is fine but you'll need to treat it to remove all the chemicals..

[@lovethai99]

Kt prawns. At what size of substrate will you recommend. Will I make 2 large substrates or I will make 1 substrate for each 1 sq m? Pond size is 5x10 sqm. Prrawn size 8cm.

[@KTPrawns]

Make whatever is best for you. Netting should be about 3 inches apart. Cover as much of the pond as possible with netting.

[@crossed7971]

KT Prawns how do I make the substrate you have ?

[@KTPrawns]

I have a video on how to make the netting substrate..

[@madbeast002]

Hey .. been a while.. just want to ask how come when I bought a few of them as soon as I release them.. they started fighting... and trying to eat some of each other

[@KTPrawns]

They may be hungry or need more space. Best to have some hiding places for them. Feed them a little after you release them may help..

[@lovethai99]

Just wondering how many kilos in max I can make in 1x1 square meters

[@KTPrawns]

Depending on harvest size and how your substrate is made, you can have nice size Prawns. Maybe a 1-2 kilos of 18-22 Prawns per kilo.

[@artbyrobot1]

@@KTPrawns that is horrible. This patent claims they get 12.5kg/m3 and you only get 1kg/m3. Very bad use of the space.

[@alenwargis9744]

Hello there, I have a 500liter tank. Can I use that for fresh water shrimp culture? And other tips regarding.... Thanks

[@KTPrawns]

Yes, should be fine. Just make sure to not overstock.

[@randwfishing7634]

How many could I raise in a 330 gallon tank to full eating size and do they taste good?

[@KTPrawns]

+R and W Fishing It all depends on the measurements of the container since they need crawl space. adding substrates will make a big difference. Rules would be 1.5 sq ft per animal to get to 5-7 inches in length.

[@kanand5089]

Good piece of information on the space requirement. What is the maximum depth of water column which we can adopt to increase production per unit area?

[@CesarSanchez-ef6sl]

Where can purchase Prawn?

[@KTPrawns]

Please visit www.ktprawns.com for details. Thanks

[@thecreamyslurpuff2728]

These are cool and I kinda want to get 1 as a pet, what are the tank requirements for a pet one (only going to get 1)

[@KTPrawns]

A 20 gallons or bigger would be good to grow them big..

[@tonydavisbusiness]

How often do they reproduce?

[@KTPrawns]

Depending on water conditions, they will reproduce every few months. Mating will occur right after the female molted.

[@Master-Shannon]

What is your time from juvenile to harvest size?

[@KTPrawns]

5-6 months.

[@Master-Shannon]

Thanks

[@tracyhussey5172]

You are really good and showing your setup but you need to show us step by step how to build each component. And we know the PH and Water Temp needs to be good. That you have told us 100 times. How do adjust the PH? How do you build a substrate? Where do get your prawns to start with? Thanks

[@wongwaihoe2992]

Hi I would like to ask a few questions : 1) For first timers, do I need few tanks (few for standby in sorting out juveniles and biggers one)? 2) How long it takes for prawns to be harvested? 3) Do we need a special aquarium for the purpose of breeding (I have seen your another video - one male and few females?) - How long to keep them for breeding purpose?

How to identify females and sexes?

[@痞子波音蝠]

How to ensure that every layer of shrimp can eat food, but people feed it very easily

[@KTPrawns]

Netting is 3mm x 3mm.. Pellets food is 1.5mm so food fall to the bottom.

[@痞子波音蝠]

@@KTPrawns This is different from what I think. My idea is that the feed will fall on each layer of the grid, so that the shrimp can eat the feed without too much activity and this can shorten the foraging time.
