    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

    • @hadawaco
      @hadawaco 8 лет назад +27

      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.

      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 8 лет назад +6

      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.

    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
      @lifeinthailand  8 лет назад +10

      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.

  • @henriqueb8538
    @henriqueb8538 8 лет назад +20

    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
      @lifeinthailand  7 лет назад +7

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

    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
      @Vector_Ze 9 лет назад +5

      +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
      @RosalynWindham 9 лет назад +1

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

    • @Vector_Ze
      @Vector_Ze 9 лет назад +8

      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
      @Vector_Ze 8 лет назад +2

      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.

    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
      @anomalocarisgaming8205 8 лет назад

      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
      @Jstroman221 8 лет назад +4

      ***** 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
      @anomalocarisgaming8205 8 лет назад +1

      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 8 лет назад +8

      ***** 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
      @anomalocarisgaming8205 8 лет назад +3

      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.

    I understand the shock on fish with the sudden change of water temperature. Maybe you explain that potential shock to the viewers. Where do you, or did you get the tanks? I can understand the need for a cover over the tank. What other pearls of wisdom do us newbies need to know to raise fish. Using the tank fir growing some duck food seems to make sense too. An added bonus. How much food can you grow for the ducks? Nice video.

      It is impossible to add anything to an old video, no point doing a new one as the same people would not see it, and most youtube experts was born knowing everything, they would not believe it anyway.

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 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).

      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.

    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
      @lifeinthailand  6 лет назад

      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.

    Do you think water cress can help? I stumble upon your vid to check how easy it is to raise catfish ... But my pond is 150x50x25 Korean fish pond made of tarp... To start ... Do you think they will jump out from the pond ?...

    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!

  • @tuvoca825
    @tuvoca825 6 лет назад

    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!
