Most underrated series on RUclips , when , IF you monetize this it will make money forever, because this this type of content is fun and re watchable it never gets old Kind like MASH reruns
We find the pla ghot (I dont know how to say or spell its name) the most dangerous spiky catfish in Thailand. Their fins are barbed as hell. They grow a bit bigger but slower than the walking catfish & in my opinion taste even better, but they are both great food! We grow them but struggle to get the numbers up because we cant get hold of any fingerlings to buy. We have to catch them wild from the local rivers, which is never easy due to netting & shocking in the local rivers. Cheers Leigh.
Wow. Can't believe how big they've gotten in a month. You are getting the whole catfish thing down pat sir. Wish I lived close enough to come over for dinner when you cook up some. LOL
Can you grow freshwater Mottled Eels in those tanks. its not a request actually, its a question from the depth of my curiousity. because I heard freshwater eels have too much health benefits.
I count 139, but I think that's a little bit high. It's hard telling what's a fish belly and what is a particularly thick bit of fish-slimey water, so I'm sure I over counted. If I were placing a bet I'd guess between 110 and 125.
You over think about doing large composting and then feeding them some worms after the worms multiply enough? Just an idea I had when I eventually try this.
dang they have eaten a lot! gracious they are huge! its only been a month! I wonder if that first one isnt getting eaten by his friends... gracious they are so big! oh I love them :) this fish seems to be a better investment... so fun to watch -
Don't you worry being stung by the catfish's fin? I don't have much experience handling catfish but i'm afraid of being stung. Stung by them when I was a kid, it bleeds a lot.
Wow mate they look great the size surprised me so fast. Two month to harvest would be an amazing result. Lot of food gone in eating machines. Be interesting to see how many kilos you get at the end. Are they expensive if you buy them in the market?
There normally 60 baht per KG here, not sure what it would cost to get them to market size but there has to be money in it, not that I am looking to sell any, best part IMO anyway, mine are much better than anything you can buy.
The mother in law asked after the last big fish harvest why my fish tasted so much better then the fish in the markets, maybe she was just trying to make me feel good...lol It would be interesting to know the real numbers, might have to get the scales out...lol
Use that shit water to grow some vegetables to help feed the fish with. Even if its just some kind of weed they like to eat, any money you don't spend feeding them is profit for you. I've heard duckweed is a popular choice, and you might be able to just find some in a local pond or something.
Breeding fish requires a tank that has hiding places or plant material. Don't know which one this species of fish needs. Regular catfish need 5 gallon buckets turned on their side to breed in.
i need some information, how many live at the time of selling, what feed do you use, what is the dimension for you are using for 100 fishes. :D a young farmer seeking for information to start a own in India :D
Sorry I am the wrong guy to ask as I am just a backyard hobby kind of guy. But the food I am using is 37% protein and here is sold as baby frog food, last year I had 42% protein but could not get it this year, still got really amazing growth so far.
The walking catfish (Clarias batrachus) is a species of freshwater airbreathing catfish native to Southeast Asia. It is named for its ability to "walk" and wiggle across dry land, to find food or suitable environments.
That would depend on a lot of factors, your setup, how much food you're feeding them, the protein level of the food, how big they were when you got them, Etc.
Catfish are native to muddy river waters probably about 1000* less sanitary than the water in the video. Most of them are caught and eaten and look perfectly healthy... Catfish can even survive in a cooler full of ice for several hours. The slightly murky water in the video most certainly not effect this fish, they are probably one of the sturdiest fish on this planet.
KawaiiAstronaut, catfish can be as sturdy as they want but if ammonia levels get too high they burn and become deformed like every other kind of fish. Obviously they can survive in muddy water, suspended particles don't harm fish but ammonia does. This dudes water is loaded with ammonia, nitrites and nitrates, he even said the water smelt bad in this vid.

Kind like MASH reruns
I have been compared to a lot of different stuff, most of it bad, but I like being compared to MASH the most, a show that is always fun to watch.
They're looking great. You certainly have it figured out.
I well never have it figured out but I seem to have it working, and that is a good thing..lol
great result Paul they are groing fast thanks for sharing
I am very happy with the growth so far.
Good handling of those slippery spiky finned critters. Seen a few guys at A&E that have been impaled by catfish.
Cheers Leigh.
The big ones have gotten me good before, I know the pain well...lol

Sweet !
I think I'm going to throw my fishing poles away and invest in some buckets !
I'll be eating a lot more fish 😜
lol, But fishing is more fun..
Wow. Can't believe how big they've gotten in a month. You are getting the whole catfish thing down pat sir. Wish I lived close enough to come over for dinner when you cook up some. LOL
Going to be a lot of good catfish dinners coming soon...lol
They are growing so well mate. Looks like a quick turn around for these guys.
The fastest I know of is 2.5 months and that is with a very professional system.
Can you grow freshwater Mottled Eels in those tanks.
its not a request actually, its a question from the depth of my curiousity.
because I heard freshwater eels have too much health benefits.
kids grow up so fast these days
Yes they do..lol
Sawadee Kop - Nice Operation - Smaller Tanks Man!
Wow !!! good work, they are probably going to be much easier to see with the white tank interior.
Well till the water turns brown...lol
Very very impressive Paul! They are looking great! I can already taste that laab pladuk! :)
I can't wait...lol
I count 139, but I think that's a little bit high. It's hard telling what's a fish belly and what is a particularly thick bit of fish-slimey water, so I'm sure I over counted. If I were placing a bet I'd guess between 110 and 125.
I have way too much time on my hands tonight.
My guess is between 150 and 160, not that I really care...lol
Fast growth. Amazing.
Your always quick on the ball, like your sitting there waiting for the video....lol
It's an amazing growth rate, better than I was hoping.
Great job! Looks like it's all working well... Keep up the good work.
Thanks, going really good so far.
You over think about doing large composting and then feeding them some worms after the worms multiply enough? Just an idea I had when I eventually try this.
Worms would work but a maggot farm or black soldier fly larva is better and easier to harvest.
dang they have eaten a lot! gracious they are huge! its only been a month! I wonder if that first one isnt getting eaten by his friends... gracious they are so big! oh I love them :) this fish seems to be a better investment... so fun to watch -
It a deformed tail, I think it is called paintbrush tail, I have seen it in other peoples fish but have never had it here before.
ah thats kinda cool!
good job
the common size (about 6 inch) shows good aquaculture skills i think
congrtats on the progress
So far so good, I am happy with the growth rate that is for sure.
Don't you worry being stung by the catfish's fin? I don't have much experience handling catfish but i'm afraid of being stung. Stung by them when I was a kid, it bleeds a lot.
It does hurt if they get you but if you hold them right and be careful, it is normally OK...normally...lol
that's awesome they sure are growing.when do you think you will be able to harvest them.
in a month
Fingers crossed it well be in a month, hard to say, I am only looking for an average of 10 inches, 1 - 2 months and I should be there.
Wow mate they look great the size surprised me so fast. Two month to harvest would be an amazing result. Lot of food gone in eating machines. Be interesting to see how many kilos you get at the end. Are they expensive if you buy them in the market?
There normally 60 baht per KG here, not sure what it would cost to get them to market size but there has to be money in it, not that I am looking to sell any, best part IMO anyway, mine are much better than anything you can buy.
Anything you grow yourself is better eating. Be interesting to see how much the cost per KG to raise ans how many KG of fish you got out of it.
The mother in law asked after the last big fish harvest why my fish tasted so much better then the fish in the markets, maybe she was just trying to make me feel good...lol
It would be interesting to know the real numbers, might have to get the scales out...lol
I would say the water is brown because of over feeding
Oh I see.
lifeinthailand so now you know, Paul. ;)
lol
Have a lot of experience do ya?
keaton smith or because catfish are dirty
I'm waiting to see the video of the fish with the diamond stud in it's tail. ;-D Have a great evening. Best wishes Bob.
Stay tuned, have a rather large diamond on the way, I well do anything to make a video.
awesome results my friend! Keep us updated thanks!
Thank you, glad you liked it.
they really look good and healthy and dam that belly on that one they are eating good xD loving the new tank view
That sure had a belly on him, amazing...lol
what kind of air pump do you use?
how big is the container?
can we see the whole setup please?
The tank is 2000L, the pump is 2500 LPH, this is the whole setup.
Use that shit water to grow some vegetables to help feed the fish with. Even if its just some kind of weed they like to eat, any money you don't spend feeding them is profit for you.
I've heard duckweed is a popular choice, and you might be able to just find some in a local pond or something.
it is update 4... so did you change water in the meantime? any oxygen given??
Changed the water as the garden needed water, I use oxygen now but these fish did not get any extra oxygen.
Perhaps it's time to build aquaponics systems setups. You have the tank and pumps, just need gravel or put water hyacin to help keep the water cleaner
Maybe one day, but not now.
Will you allow them to lay eggs? Or do you harvest them all and sell them, and purchase more ?
These well be going in the freezer as soon as their big enough, maybe in a month.
better if you let them breed infinite source of catfish
Breeding fish requires a tank that has hiding places or plant material. Don't know which one this species of fish needs. Regular catfish need 5 gallon buckets turned on their side to breed in.
What fish food was that
I use a floating pellet, 37 percent protein.
or yellow or brown bull head catfish
i need some information, how many live at the time of selling, what feed do you use, what is the dimension for you are using for 100 fishes. :D a young farmer seeking for information to start a own in India :D
Sorry I am the wrong guy to ask as I am just a backyard hobby kind of guy. But the food I am using is 37% protein and here is sold as baby frog food, last year I had 42% protein but could not get it this year, still got really amazing growth so far.
i am not asking as commercial. thanks for the reply
Ok, I get these questions alot from people who wants to be a commerical farm. Good luck with your fish.
Wow my walking catfish never have grown that fast in a month even after they are fry, maybe it's the food?
It's the food...lol
Yeah the food varies. It depends on the nutritional value of the feed
can the fish live without the electric power supply oxigen ?
Walking catfish can breathe air, they do not need added oxygen.
@@lifeinthailand isnt this a bullhead catfish ?
The walking catfish (Clarias batrachus) is a species of freshwater airbreathing catfish native to Southeast Asia. It is named for its ability to "walk" and wiggle across dry land, to find food or suitable environments.
@@lifeinthailand Oh thanks for the info 🖒😊
No problem.
You sound like a proud papa. At this rate, you should have your Larb Pla Duk in 3-4 weeks. :)
I sure well, can't wait...lol
Sure beat stocking the pond for 2 1/2 years doesn't it? LOL
It's just a little bit better...lol
The more OXIGEN you give him the more bigger they Will grou so secure that you give him enougth good and what circulation possible
Can i bread this type of fish in a country like uk?
I have no idea, don't know if you can buy them there.
What specie are they?
Clarias batrachus
@@lifeinthailand
Thanks boss
Maybe the water change made those babies slower, I dunno
I don't think so.
They are growing faster then the other ones you had last year.
TYhe best I have done that is for sure.
any one answer by my que. how much time take to gain weight almost 1kg
That would depend on a lot of factors, your setup, how much food you're feeding them, the protein level of the food, how big they were when you got them, Etc.
where are you going to release them
Into the freezer.
lifeinthailand lmao
Man you should farm some shrimps ! I paid 300Bahts for 8 small grilled shrimps from a street-food cart .... Was I ripped off ?
Yes i want to see him raise shrimp a lot
I do plan on getting shrimp at some point, maybe soon, I think there is a very good chance you were ripped off.
lifeinthailand lmao.... sorry I had to.
1st Pal czv
My catfish is not growing plz help
Could be a lot of things, maybe not enough protein in the food, not enough food, maybe sick fish, sorry but i can't help without more information.
or apolusa flathead catfish beauty
Be careful when you use that net to catch them because you can hook their tail and it can rip their tail apart
OK
10:15 That one seems kind of unhealthy.
Just relaxing after a very eventful day. This is normal for these fish.
Ohhh look they have a deformed tail 🤦🏾♂️ u said that as if u were surprised with the colour of the water in the tank

Thanks for subscribing.
You say it wont servey in the wild that long but your going to them dud not cool to 🐱 🐟
No idea what you are trying to say....
u need blue cat
Do you think I have a river?
sell them
Or eat them.
I think you’re feeding them too much and that’s why the water is so dirty, and the fish show signs of structural immaturity. Good for eating I bet
You might be right, Have have slowed down on the feed, they grow slower but fewer problems.
I counted 25 im an expert counter so brloeve me theres 25
Ok good to know.
Nolen Johnson h
O

Catfish swallow other fish whole !
Oh I see.
