Starting a catfish (Clarias batrachus) farm @ home, 200 fish in a 500 liter tank with 2 week update

[@TechieTrevor]

I love how you and your wife are speaking together in two different languages! That's awesome.

[@lifeinthailand]

Its called Tinglish, Half Thai and half English....lol

[@PersonallyDeveloped]

You know what would of been cool?, when you were filling the tank if you actually left the bucket in the and slowly as the water levels rose over the top for the fish to naturally start swimming up and exploring the new space :D

[@yaboi6364]

lol, me too

[@shortycummins]

same here lol and the water would kind of adjust in the bucket aswell as the water level rises!

[@hadawaco]

that was his intention, but he cut the video,I assume he realised that the bucket would not fill up and it would just float, also the slow submerging he was doing was alot better for the fish.

[@natsudragneellucyheartfili2173]

There was water in thr bucket and 200 cat fish so assuming that it wouldn't float I think this wouldve a good idea

[@MrSharkBait561]

Thays funny. I was thinking about the same thing and I was hoping we would do that. It would've been really interesting seeing the water overflow into the smaller bucket and watching the fish swim out.

[@henriqueb8538]

As an advice I'd suggest you to acclimatize the fish in this new water condition by slowly putting some tank water inside the bucket during a 30min lapse. This way fish you will not suffer from rapid changes in ph, gh and temperature. By doing so you will not deal with stressed fish that may die due to diseases like you may have spotted in one among the catfishes. We usualy practice that while introducing new fish to aquariums.

[@lifeinthailand]

I basically did that but remember these are not aquarium fish, these are very strong catfish.

[@garlicmuncher]

hnrq brst he breeds them to eat, so there's no need to be that careful

[@crystaljoleen8183]

Regardless great advise...you all are wonderful teachers.

[@FishAcademy]

This video happen to be the first video I watch on this channel which motivated me to create my own channel 11 months ago and today lifeinthialand leads as my Boss and I follow. Greetings Boss

[@lifeinthailand]

You know more about catfish than I do, I just do it for fun.

[@jamesbruce5849]

I grew up to this video. This video 6 years ago is what made me wonna raise my own to farm for food

[@troychampion]

when feeding fish.. you should underfeed them first ... and increase slightly as you learn. You run less risk of waste.. waste food is really bad as it contaminates the water. Underfeeding the fish isn't nearly as bad as you'd think.. it only slows the growth rate.

[@lifeinthailand]

Your right and I soon figured that out, Just bought some new fish, uploaded the video today, Still have a bunch of this batch, It was a success for sure.

[@youngdan6113]

You are the man, I'm thinking about starting my own catfish farm soon, thanks to you, I'm a believer

[@lifeinthailand]

Have lots of videos since then, and still have some of these fish.

[@davidrox4591]

You're not the only one.

[@TitanTrigger]

Nice farm! I have reared many fish and one misconception that many people don't realize is that water oxygenation actually occurs at the water surface. Bubbling with an air-stone or whatever doesn't make much difference, the trick is just to make sure there is enough surface area to allow the gas to diffuse into the water - a wide barrel such as this in an area where there's a bit of wind (surface agitation encourages gas diffusion) should be more than adequate (for fish these size).

[@Vector_Ze]

+Tristan Janse van Rensburg Agreed. But, circulating the water benefits the tank by bringing lower oxygen water from below up to the surface, where it can have oxygen dissolved in it. i.e., stagnant water occupied by air breathers will probably have lower levels of oxygen the further from the surface you go. That is the primary reason to use air stones, to circulate the water. I'm not a fish farmer though. It's just basic High School biology, and what I'd learned by keeping tropical fish in a large tank. Green aquatic plants also help oxygenate the water.

[@RosalynWindham]

+smart451cab isn't there natural movement already circulating the water?

[@Vector_Ze]

Rosalyn Windham Sure, there is some convection, and probably even more from the movement of the fish. But, streams of bubbling air far outdo either of those. That's why they're frequently used in aquariums.

[@Vector_Ze]

Tarragon Mugwort This I realize. Many Moons ago, when I was a youngun, I did an experiment along those lines. I used a small mouth quart jar: in went water, a mosquito fish (looks like a guppy) and a healthy sprig of elodea. Tightly sealed the jar and kept it where it received good daylight. That was something like 50 years ago and I don't recall exactly how long the experiment ran. I do remember being impressed by the duration though. In the end, the poor fish probably died of starvation, even though there was some food available from the plant. In spite of their name, their preferred diet is algae and plankton.

[@MrTastyCarp]

+Tristan Janse van Rensburg i feel bad for the fish you've reared.

[@Tinmad29]

I found your fish videos just today and I think that I have watched them all now. Some really cool stuff you've done, hope there is more to come in the future!

[@lifeinthailand]

Thanks for watching, There well be more fish videos but I have moved on to frogs now, There fun too.

[@redcardinalkitchen]

Wow, Paul, that’s an impressive setup for starting a catfish farm at home! It’s fascinating to see how you're managing it without any water treatment or added oxygen. Buzz me for the next update! 🐟🔍

[@Jstroman221]

Bio filtration is necessary. They have gills to breathe under water but have primitive lung that allows them to live in poor water conditions like a place like Thailand where there are wet and dry seasons the bladder or lung are used in those conditions. Continuing coming to the surface to gulp air means the water condition is less than optimum.

[@anomalocarisgaming8205]

They seemed to do pretty well in his other videos, a while ago he showed a small harvest where he cooked and ate a few. One was over a foot long, sounds pretty healthy to me...

[@Jstroman221]

***** healthyand optimum health are not one in the same, the same fish with optimum filtration including biologicalthat same fish could have been larger. Even in the wild with wet and dry seasons there is always a form of biological filtration.

[@anomalocarisgaming8205]

Jason Stroman They're food, not pets. As long as they're alive and growing, why should it matter if their health is optimum?

[@Jstroman221]

***** Did you think about that comment before you wrote it, you could not have? Come by my house I have a free range cow from Russia that has grazed in Chernoybl fall out, yum yum. Disregard it's third eye it's only a birth defect, I've been told it taste great.

[@anomalocarisgaming8205]

Jason Stroman comparing a cow to a fish is preposterous. Fish are far more basic animals, living entirely off instinct, Cows, while still stupid, are far easier to empathize with, mistreating an animal like that would be upsetting to me, as it would be to any logical human being. To claim that a cow living in Chernobyl would have a third eye is also ridiculous, There's a documentary showing how wolves and other fauna live in the area around Chernobyl, none of them were ever shown to be deformed. Google "Chernobyl wolves documentary" if you don't believe me. The poster of this video also discusses how these fish are designed to live in hostile conditions, if you watch his later videos he shows the catfish reaching lengths of over a foot. The fish are obviously thriving in their current conditions.

[@jpollard117]

You will need some filtration and a biofilter of some kind otherwise you will have to do a lot of water changes. Wow you got a great deal.

[@lifeinthailand]

+Tanner Stage V Still no filter, I use the water to water the garden, So far it is working.

[@gljay]

+lifeinthailand Try building an aquaponics system around this.

[@Jordan-vf6sn]

True man lmao lol haha lmao lol haha

[@ralfnuggs165]

+lifeinthailand that's actually a fucking great idea dude. When I water my vegetable garden with fish tank water change water everything boooooooms and I mean booms. Fish waste is one of if not the best fertilizer! Tons of nitrogen phosphorus and potassium in fish waste

[@Jstroman221]

+lifeinthailand sponge filter at least they need some kind of biological filtration. So. Cheap can makethem for less than $2.

[@eddieceo]

you remind me of my grandpa back when he was alive just raising fish and I would always be amazed

[@lifeinthailand]

[@jackmckeon8459]

+lifeinthailand where did u get your fish? And could u send me the linkt o their website?

[@lifeinthailand]

+ReCoNxL GaMiNg I bought them from an old lady who was selling them off the back of a truck. They come around every year selling fish at the end of the rainy season. I would like to find a supplier for the off season though.

[@jackmckeon8459]

+lifeinthailand thank you so much for answering and can you let me know when you get a supplier

[@jackmckeon8459]

+lifeinthailand specifically a cheap supplier

[@kenbobca]

Looks like a lot of fun, raising your own fish for food. Good luck, hope it all works out for you.

[@lifeinthailand]

+Ken Karnes So far so good, They are fun to watch.

[@kenbobca]

I love to fish. I live in Bakersfield, CA, USA and the lakes around here are over fished. So it's really something when I do catch a fish.

[@ForeignLifestylestory]

just starting my fish farm.. i got 3 tanks ready.. there 12x12 ft and 4 foot deep.. im in the ph.. having a hard time finding catfish to put in it..

[@emilyswan9446]

Although they can breathe the air in less than perfect water, providing oxygen in the water will help them to grow faster and larger, improve cell structure and provide you with a healthier fish stock. They have gills as well as their lungs. Please consider even a small airstone, you could see bigger changes than you think. I know I do in the fish I raise and breed.

[@lifeinthailand]

I added air to my tanks last year, I have seen no difference in the growth rate or health of the fish, but the air does keep the water moving and that gives them something to do, swim against the current is they want to. I have raised more than 10,000 fish at this point.

[@lifeinthailand]

I agree.

[@danielwoolman8969]

I wonder if you put a bright light above the tank at night then it would attract bugs that would fall into the water.

[@lifeinthailand]

Yes, works good, I had a solar light over this tank for a long time.

[@greggles1]

bigger farming area it's 200 catfish in not much space for 200 I'd recommend 2m's 57cm's mine are big and healthy and my are that size✅

How large of a pool for 200 catfish? Would a 350 gallon tank be large enough

[@kevinsterner8526]

there lybrenth fish. having a lybrenth gland on the roof of there mouth. gulping air and pressing it to the gland to absorb oxygen, same as all gouramis and Betta fighting fish

I want to farm fish like this, but do a waterfall setup with three tiers: fish on top filtering into plants, then crawfish, then through an actual filter and back through. The only thing holding me back is reliable power, I'm in the sticks and power outages are not rare.

[@pearllynnerivera1407]

what are you feeding to them?

[@lifeinthailand]

Believe it of not, Catfish food.

Was that well water? Tap water has chlorine. Also when they get bigger you are going to have to monitor nitrate levels or just have the pump water refreshing the tank.

[@lifeinthailand]

+Chad Hurley If you watched the video you would know it is rain water.

[@tuvoca825]

The answer is, I don't know, but my best guess is this: Fish have gills instead of lungs. Their gills are super efficient because of the large amount of surface area (think how a radiator vents heat faster because of it has fins that can touch more air at the same time). The problem with gills is that contact with the air collapses the gills against each other, dries them out, and other things that take it from high efficiency, to barely working. For some reason I don't know, catfish seem to be more tolerant to this problem, probably because they breathe through their skin, which resembles the skin of frogs (known to be a major part of amphibian air supply). Another interesting thing... In school, they told me all humans have Gill structures in the womb, but we grow in a different direction instead. DNA has so much information in it that we don't use, but we are limited in what information we use in our own bodies, in part, because of our sphere of survivability. That's a big limiter on evolution and why it's super rare to have a viable organism that doesn't fit certain rules and why, even if it can do that, it can't have viable offspring without a mate with compatible DNA. Science is a method and way of digging deeper, but it is not an answer by itself. Just like we have eyes and ears. The sense inform each other. God can write our history in the fossils and in books, but if it's true it's true. Everyone believes we have our first parents, even if they disagree on how it happens. If we could find an alien civilization in embryo, we could watch... but the problem is that watching it could change it too with something as simple as a speck of bacteria with an "f plasmid" (something that allows bacteria to mate with species that aren't the same but injecting foreign DNA fragments that alter the host's genome and gene expression). Anyway, I've said enough. Tall ho!

[@johnarizona3820]

That growing bucket looks way too small brother. Fish tend to grow in relation to their environment so small bucket small fish.

Actually they grow to a certain point no matter the environment, but after that they stop growing until they have more space.

[@billnye2112]

i often hang a bug zapper over mine each evening, its kills alot of bugs to feed the fish. variety in diet seems to grow healthier fish that fight each other less (less commonly a problem with catfish). putting something in the water for them to hide in is good too. they naturally hang out in holes and dens. thats why your fish tend to just fall asleep like that. catfish are pretty lazy. but cool set up!

[@lifeinthailand]

+comfortouch No, A few people told me the name but when I looked it up it was a different plant.

[@comfortouch]

+lifeinthailand I think I found it. Look up Neptunia oleracea (common name: water mimosa) It's commonly eaten as a 'cabbage' flavored veggie in Thailand, and is considered a pest in Australia www.business.qld.gov.au/industry/agriculture/species/declared-pests/weeds/water-mimosa

I don't know anything about bluegill but dog food don't seem right, Cat food maybe but fish food for sure. These catfish can breath air so adding an air stone would help but not necessary. This is in Thailand.

blue gills are cool to look at my dad said they are yummy like trout

Air bubbles circulates the water and provides oxygen for the fish, especially if there's not a lot of disruption on the top of the water. ultimately, what happens is that the fish can suffocate. downside is that if you dont have some sort of substrate to keep the waste at the bottom from circulating with the water, you could potentially be poisoning the fish with their waste. Its up to you with what you wanna weigh the pros and cons. As for the food; as the saying goes, "you are what you eat". Meaning the food that the fish is eating has nutritional value of the dog food. My dog eats high quality dog food while my fish eat high quality fish food (with vitamins added). the nutritional value and content vary with both foods. I'll let you think on those thoughts. :) hope i was helpful.

wow, i was reading up on catfish rearing techniques..from the actual process to about few weeks progress. Thanks for sharing this video.I found it really helpful. But I notice you don't have water outlet pipe. How do you get rid of the dirty water. Do you just scoop them out to water your garden and refill only when it seems dirty? This idea just suits my plan as I am thinking of putting the tank at the end of my vegetable garden. Is mosquito a problem with this tank? Thank you

[@lifeinthailand]

I pump the water out, fish eat mosquitoes. Have lots more fish videos if your interested, just got a bunch of new babies.

[@jessieu.5937]

lifeinthailand yes, will you be making any videos on how to separate the catfish once they are bigger? i read somewhere that they need to be separated according to sizes using wire mesh cage or else the fish will eat the smaller ones especially in organic tank due to infrequent feeding. Some bloggers wrote online that catfish bred in organic tank ( sand,compost and then some lilies on top) need not be fed until the fish are about 4 mnths old...some breeders got misled and lost tons of fish...(gathered from some forum somewhere).

[@lifeinthailand]

Never smart believing what you read or see online anymore, people well say anything to get you to click on their video or blog. Always have to use your head. I have not had a problem with big fish eating small fish but you can not mix fish in my experience, the well kill each other. I would like to know how the professionals separate fish by size, has to be something with holes so the small ones get through and the big ones don't, can't be that hard to make.

[@monkey220ms]

What are you going to do with them when youre done? Eat all of them?

[@lifeinthailand]

+monkey220ms Eat every one.

[@monkey220ms]

+lifeinthailand oh lol does catfish taste good? Never had it but I thought it was one of the less appetizing fishes?

[@s10manual]

+monkey220ms It's one of my favourite fish to eat! The taste can depend on where it's raised and the preparation. Very popular fish to be fried.

[@trippiesixx4991]

What's the green stuff floating. And what's the purpose. Is it moss or algae

[@angryblackman857]

how many time you give them food in a journey ? how many time you change water ? can we use rain water ?

[@warpussnoluv]

Aww they look so cute with their little whiskers

[@lifeinthailand]

They are cool.

[@ramoncitomatias5127]

Pls. give me some proffessional answer. Thanks a lot.

[@lifeinthailand]

[@adotholland22]

[@lifeinthailand]

If you watch this video you well see how I get my baby fish. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWrSZqpsrJWehq8

[@craigbaker78]

yeah when transfering fish you want to make sure that the water in both containers is as close to the same temp as possible or you will shock their system and could get a lot of deaths from it.

[@austindyuordo1436]

Hello. I’ve been wanting to grow catfish in my backyard for consumption. Where do I get baby catfish to raise?

[@olagokeadewusi8527]

A VERY SIMPLE VIDEO....makes everything so simpleeeeeeee

[@lifeinthailand]

Nothing wrong with simple.

[@jenersharma]

The plant that you put into the tank is called "eekaithebee" (water mimosa) in our local language. Good to eat, tasty. We prepare it with hot chillies and fermented fish.

[@lifeinthailand]

Correct, I have the same plant in with my frogs now.

[@jasinisamuel6026]

Can you put the site or the place you bought the Fish and the Fish food

[@lifeinthailand]

I bought these off the back of a truck.

[@OscarFreeandAccepted]

At the end how well did you do , from. Texas

[@kurtmartin2580]

My biggest chub jumped outa my tank last night,3 more inch's he would have fell into the sump tank and lived but unfortunatley he didn't and died.He was around 6 inch's long.So I froze him and I'm going to use him for muskie bait.I'm kinda bumbed,he was a pretty cool fish.

[@lifeinthailand]

+Kurt Martin Well that sucks but may as well put him to use as bait, I like the way you think.

[@thatthieff]

I'm really curious as to whether or not all the fish died from being cramped, and the tank not being cycled. Is the ammonia high?

[@lifeinthailand]

If you were really curious you would have watched the updates.

[@BrentonCollas]

sawatdee! are these eel tailed catfish? are they the same ones for making baduuk foo? I tried raising tandanus tandanus without much luck. (1 but per fish is awesome! fingerlings in Australia are about 180bht each!!!)

[@lifeinthailand]

These are the walking catfish, Not the same as the eel tailed ones, Looks similar, In Thai there called pladuk so it must be the one your talking about, Everything in Australia is expensive, Compared to Thailand anyway...lol

[@guybeland823]

wonder if a sand filter for swimming pool would work or llook up Diy home made biological filter for koi fish for less then $100

[@lifeinthailand]

+Guy Beland The fish only cost $6. Why would I invest $100 in a DIY filter.

[@ngmui430]

the name of that plant in thai is “Pak kha ched”, aka water mimosa. its my favorite

[@sakhaisar9770]

What they had eating please😞 can you tell me I also have catfishs they are not eating

[@redle0pard]

Very Kool! Catfish are my Favorite Aquarium / Pond Fish!

[@lifeinthailand]

They are a very cool fish.

[@DiamondTelevision]

So when they get bigger then what do ypu put them in? Also what are those black things u are feeding them?
