I wanna work for you... But why not work with a more peaceful species, marbled crayfish seems really easy...

[@skyfarmorganics]

Awesome setup Leigh. I'm always impressed with how quickly you learn new skills and get success with your farming endeavors.

[@jeffreyroot6300]

Loving it! The progressive stock ponds are a very old way of producing fish or crayfish, it’s good to see a system in the field! You guys are doing good and setting an example. Love and Respect!

[@TLFarm]

Nice one thank you Jeffrey. We're very pleased with how they're doing.

[@johngillespie9632]

Good Luck with it all , it looks a good setup . Thumbs up and happy with four beers today Heheheeee , stay healthy and happy to all :).

[@TLFarm]

Cheers me dears.

[@marklinn2351]

Love what your doing. In Oz yabbies are mainly herdavours so no need meat to spoil the water.Chuck a chem free hay/ straw bail in there is all they need along with the floating weeds

[@giuseppemiceli7103]

Hi ya leigh and toon, the set up is absolutely fantastic, very pleased for you both and good luck.

[@lynnplestid2711]

Almost blew coffee thru my nose over your cheeky wife comments 🙂, cheers mate.

[@angelomuyuela7607]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge how to make a handle Cray Fish.

[@tedjenkins8855]

Great setup and well organised. I will certainly be in touch when I can return to Thailand after the Covid hoo-ha.

Love a good yabby , every now and again I throw a yabby net in the local golf course dam overnight. Usually get around a dozen monsters. Aroi mak!!

[@mv_devonkrisp8559]

Would i be able to grow them all in one pool? I would be eating them 24/7 as they grow older so it wouldnt overrun the pool right? Its a 10 by 30 and i might buy two so that i can move the crawfish and sort through them to get the big ones.

[@johns4253]

Thx for the great videos & happy Sunday from John in Nongkhai Bkk Hua Hin

[@paulvillavicencio6512]

What time and how many in a day to give a food for cray fish

[@TLFarm]

Once in the evening for the tanks & throughout the day with kitchen scraps & other bits n bobs for the growout pond.

[@biaritzsiroko6117]

Question at the homeland of my gf they set up 400 cm x 200 cm x 150cm deep box for catfish farming. They think they can just put water and the catfish and feed. but do they need filter and do they need air? and how many catfish should go in there?

[@MrAussie44]

Looking great guys. But have i been sleeping ? Because i have not seen a vlog of the wall been built around the pond,,

[@oldwiseoul]

This can definitely work in Honduras. The challenge here is the water and plankton, I'd have to investigate more on that matter. Do those snails eat the trash? Did you import these? Or are they endemic? Thank you for shwing us this, this sums up years of experience. I will try and apply this here. I'd have to find the right endemic specie. They say they are invasive, but they sure are a good source of protein. How much water do you have to be pouring in there? Is the bottom no permeable? This is great info! People can benefit from this here, in rural areas, it does provide jobs and well, protein too.

[@markroberts5423]

Yep . Have to make sure walls are smooth . It's like watching Cliff Hanger when it's feeding time . Can pull up a chair and a few Leo's and watch the show .

[@TLFarm]

Cliff Hanger . . . Classic movie.

[@markroberts5423]

@@TLFarm I originally had tanks to have fish , so the walls are 1.5 metres high . When I go down to feed them at night that's when it looks like a mass breakout attempt . Now about 30 females with eggs

[@ryanpedersen5722]

The guppies dont eat the baby crayfish?

[@TLFarm]

No Ryan, never seen them nibble on one unless it's already dead.

[@42invincible]

I see you got the job then at Big C for this years Santa, beard is coming along nicely. I’ll make sure the red velvet suit arrives in plenty of time.

[@TLFarm]

Alas, the George Michael growth is no more me ol chestnut. Although I, and many many others I might add, were huge fans of the rugged outdoor look, a stong wind came in from the south and blew it off. It's not all bad though, just applied the salad cream from the fridge as a cooling balm.

[@42invincible]

Good to see you picked up on my beauty tips then. I’ll still send the velvet suit as you will look dapper down at the outdoor market

[@TLFarm]

Should look mint with me polished black wellies.

[@marierosenzweig4434]

Thank you for sharing Leigh & Toon this is fantastic. Xo

[@TLFarm]

Glad you enjoyed it Marie.

[@AntonyHatcher]

Interesting where are you located we have a plot of ground with a pond might like to visit you?

[@TLFarm]

We're in Kamphaeng Phet province 👍

[@Sir.IamMaybe]

How often do you check them gotten pregnant?

[@TLFarm]

About once every three weeks. Sometimes we miss a batch & they hatch in the tank with all the adults. Most get eaten but there's usually 50 or so that still survive.

[@Sir.IamMaybe]

@@TLFarm what if you put two males in the there, will they start fighting and eating each other ?

[@TLFarm]

@@Sir.IamMaybe from what we've seen, there doesn't appear to be an increase in fighting with a higher percentage of males. It's more to do with enough food & enough hiding places.

[@Sir.IamMaybe]

@@TLFarm ok thank you for information good sir

[@Sir.IamMaybe]

@@TLFarm I saw that you don't have any hiding tubes in one of yours breeding tank

[@viceroyhomes]

How do you feed them? What do they eat?

[@TLFarm]

Sorry for the delay in responding to you're question, I've only just come across it! We feed them kitchen & garden scraps plus some sinking pellets.

[@Sir.IamMaybe]

Do you sell them when full grown?

[@TLFarm]

We mainly sell fully mature broodstock & eat the rest. Sometimes we sell medium to full size males for the table.

[@Sir.IamMaybe]

@@TLFarm whats the price for 1kg?

[@TLFarm]

1 kg of adult males is 800tbh with free p&p anywhere in Thailand.

[@Sir.IamMaybe]

[@bornfreeprepperthailand]

When’s the crawfish boil 🤣 How much can you sell them for? 👍🏻

[@PuahalaHawaii]

Any chance of doing a video about the various solar setups and pumps you folks have going?

[@TLFarm]

Ok I'll put it on our 'to-do-list' videos. It might me a few weeks until we fit that in 😉😉😉

[@PuahalaHawaii]

@@TLFarm Many thanks. It's obvious you folks are super busy. I saw a single solar panel by one of the ponds and a nice new pump, and m interested in that setup along with goats, trees, veges, fish, etc etc etc, following Bumbipol`s New Theory. Proper cheers!

Do you know what your breed of dog is? Because I swear the street dogs in Panama, and Colombia looked just like that dog.

[@TLFarm]

All our dogs have been what they call Thai soi dogs (mixed breeds.)

[@RichardColwell1]

Thank you for the reply

[@reborn2020]

Incredible fish tank. They survive on little water which is remarkably interesting. Are they selling well already or still in the process scaling up? And did you consider to add a few more fish tanks in future?

[@tosinogun7227]

What type of snails are they

[@TLFarm]

Apple snails.

[@TLFarm]

Apple snails.

[@vanyugo154]

What do you feed them?

High protein sinking shrimp/ crayfish pellet.

love your character champion

[@TLFarm]

That's very kind of you thanks 👍👍👍

[@DIEorSK87273]

Won’t the crayfish just dig underneath the pond barrier?

[@TLFarm]

Not the red claw crayfish. They do use existing holes as hiding places but it's a species of crayfish that doesn't dig. Cheers.

[@krisbrand354]

I've heard prices of 2000b per kilo in Thailand. Not sure if country folk would pay that but bkk hiso folk are. Ps, what does your wife call them in Thai/Issan? Thankyou

[@TLFarm]

We've never heard of them reaching that kind of price Kris, even if they're harvested at full size. They're usually priced around the same price as the large freshwater prawns. Toon calls them Gung-Crayfish to the locals who ask what they are.

[@aram9717]

I think you should’ve made the wall higher so every now and again you could put a goat in there so you’re not creating more work trimming the grass down just an idea you’re certainly making good progress keep it up

[@johnkenworthy3842]

Impressed with what you are doing,well done,I am doing something similar in the south of Thailand,have you any juveniles for sale?I've just got to complete my barrier and get the fisheries inspection completed then I'll buy a couple of thousand.Is Fisheries OK with a shade cloth barrier?I was thinking they could get a grip on that and climb out.

[@TLFarm]

Hi John, that blue netting is no good but I've seen a few growers using it out here. We currently have juveniles for sale. Details are on our website www.porpeangfarmthailand.com Cheers.

what do the call crayfish in Thai? can you or your wife type it in Thai?

Hey Leigh I used to breed yabbies and had corrugated perspex cut in strips and glued on top of each other. It gives the little ones high rise living.

It is neither lol, arthropod Crustacean, basically a Malacostraca family, also known as water insects. But this will put a smile on Leigh's chops, the Malacostraca family make up the worlds most biomass....

[@jonathanflud492]

It would be great if you showed the crabs and there breed

[@TLFarm]

I agree Jonathan. Problem is that Toon is at the helm of the crab tank & I'm now allowed to fiddle with it in any way.....Let's just say, at the moment, it's a tank that has a few crabs in it & not a lot going on in there lol.
