Hi ! I allways wanted to breed Dragon flys - there larva eats a lot of Mosquito and adults eat flys , sometimes you can see the Buffalo surrounded by Dragons catching blut suckers .😊
I wasn't aware that the adults are flies.... brilliant. We have lots on the land. They love to follow the goats when they're out on pasture. An easy meal picking off the bugs that the herd disturbs.
@@TLFarm just spoke with my Mia in Lopburi told her a little about your cray fish farming - 😀 what colors of Dragonflies do you see - 🤔 blue - red - - green black blue - check out what what names - and i think the Damselfly are the most effective on mosquito on the wing - the best mosquito control - if you help the 🐉 Dragons larva you should get many 🤔 because everything likes eating dragonfly Nymphs - Ducks Fish crab crawfish they all like eating them ,😀 but if you put the Nymphs in a mesh ,that lets the Mosquito larva in to be eaten,but keep the Nymphs save from being eaten - . You can find the Nymphs with a small net mesh drag through some water vegetation. I be Watching, savaty 🙏cup .
@@TLFarm Have you ever noticed a Dragon fly laying eggs in your Pond or Tanks ? The fly close over the water and Dip there Butt in the water while flying along hover dip fly hover dip fly hover dip 😁🤔 🤣💙
So interesting about crayfish. Thank you for sharing for USA. I truly enjoy you crayfish content; never had one but I know I would love it for sure. Well done and great channel for sure.
Thanks Marietta. We try to keep hold of our biggest of the bigs for breeding the next generations. Toon said she fancies a crayfish BBQ so looks like we'll be throwing the trap into the outside pond soon! 😋
After watching one of your videos a couple of years back, I tried breeding crayfish. I caught a dozen or so at the local lake. Not sure what I did wrong but after a year or so ended up with one really fat male.specimen.
Life is incredible but one day one of those crays will climb up the Space Needle in Seatle and try conker the world like the one who tried in Man in Black. Be careful. Chers!
@@TLFarm You can just call me Special Ed if you want. I've also got two Yamamahaha bikes, just the one Honda.... I like how you just showed the Yabbies with music in it. Very pleasant video..... Hows Toon doing?
@@TeamDNFracing if you buy anymore bikes you can start up a motorbike taxi company! Toon is doing really good thanks mate. She's off the painkillers now 👍👍👍
It's why we beed them in the tanks & then transfer them once they've reached 2"+ The reason it's so deep is because it was originally a tilapia pond. It's fine for growing them to eating size. During the Dry Season it still maintains a depth of 1m+ (better suited for ARC breeding, but we don't want to dig another pond.)
Hi guys. When you put them in the pond, do you have any trouble with predators? Are there fish in the pond that will eat them, or wading birds that like a snack? On a different note, after drawing a blank for ages, ive found a pet shop that sells Alligator Gar! I've ordered 10 x 3" babies at 90 baht each. It going to take a few years to grow them large enough for angling, but I'm a patient man! If 50% survive, ill be happy!
@@chriscrookson8524 a climbing perch got in but there's so many glass Shrimp in there he can't make a dent in their numbers. We have 5 Catla & 5 Asian Silver Carp but they're not interested. The ASC are filter feeders and the Caltas are happy on floating pellets. Birds tend to go for the snails at the edge.
Yes it's fine. Crayfish don't need much depth of water and like to climb out on to rocks and plants during the night. If we had a colder climate/ seasons we'd raise them in deeper water & install a heater. You don't have to run a filter for crayfish, depending on the stocking density & amount of feed being introduced. We generally just run airpumps for circulation and carry out monthly water changes. We only drain, lightly brush and rinse the tanks before refilling. Hope this is of some help. Cheers Leigh.
i have a female breeder this is the only one female left she is 7months old i think i i did not make her grow to the right size.if she got berried does the craylings will grow small also.thanks

HopeTOON IS FEELING VERY MUCH BETTER LOVE YOUR TRAVELS THOUGH YOUR FARM
Thank you muchly. Toon is much better now & is no longer on any painkillers 👍
Thanks for the update guys, hope all is well with you both. Best wishes and love from Scotland. 🙏❤️🤗🏴
Cheers Matt. Geeze Toon and I miss a good haggis 🏴
Those large males are HUGE. They look like lobsters. Super video Leigh. I watched it twice. Happy Days to you and your amazing wife! Take care!
Thanks matey. Yes we love our monster sized males. They do a great job taking care of the ladies 😉
Great content! Been binge watching your yabbie playlist this week. Hope to see more and would love to see you harvest from your growout pond!
Thank you, thanks really great to hear.
We'll be trapping some from the grow out pond next month for a catch n cook video with a Farmstay guest.
Wow! The colors are amazing 😊
If kept in an aquarium with filtration, their colours appear fluorescent. Absolutely stunning.
Nice Yabbie update 😊
Cheers Mark, it's been well overdue lol.

Thanks for that Jamie. These redclaws are awesome to keep. Even if we didn't raise them for food they're still fascinating to watch have as a hobby.
Good to see you up and about, take care
Thank you Dennis 👍👍👍
Well done guys they look great 👍
Thanks Trent. The following day we filled up 21 hatching tanks with berried females!!!
Nice mate 👍
Wow- they’re big! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks Marietta.
We try to keep hold of our biggest of the bigs for breeding the next generations.
Toon said she fancies a crayfish BBQ so looks like we'll be throwing the trap into the outside pond soon! 😋
My Favorite food! yum
They're definitely one of our favorites. BBQ with chili, garlic butter & tom yam soup are great with them.
@@TLFarm where can you get them in Bangkok? i will be there in a couple of weeks
@@phillipbottrell we don't know of any restaurants serving them but we do sometimes sell for the table.
@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand looks like it's giant river shrimp then hehehe
Yep ,I understood every process of that ......🙄🤥Still gave it the thumbs up👍😁
Cheers Geno. Dedication right there ⭐⭐👽

Lol. Stocking levels, feeding & hiding places are the 3 main things we focus on. They'll always be a bit of 'nibbling' going on though 🤣
Thank for sharing the life of a crayfisherman. Fresh water lobster. How many were on the dinner table?
Zero that evening, but there's a Yabby BBQ on the cards soon!
What a great life ! Not sure about all the water with the mosquitos though . I'd be worried about malaria and dengue !
@@ianryan7826 I shower in deet lol.
Yabbies,,,yum.
Flipping right Keith 👍
You are a wild man
Hunter Gatherer me 🤣
I'm interested in breeding these on our farm in Nakhon Nayok 👍
They do really well out here. We have more details on our website (link in the video description.)
In the American south they're called mudbugs :D
Never has a crustacean had some many names 🤣🤣🤣
Life is incredible but one day one of those crays will climb up the Space Needle in Seatle and try conker the world like the one who tried in Man in Black. Be careful. Chers!

I am curious if the crayfish like that deep pond. It is cold down there.
It's why we beed them in the tanks & then transfer them once they've reached 2"+
The reason it's so deep is because it was originally a tilapia pond. It's fine for growing them to eating size.
During the Dry Season it still maintains a depth of 1m+ (better suited for ARC breeding, but we don't want to dig another pond.)
Impressive 😁❤️🙏🇦🇺

You need a bog filter in that pond .
@3:09 Is that depth of water fine and may I know if you use any filter on your pond?
Yes it's fine. Crayfish don't need much depth of water and like to climb out on to rocks and plants during the night.
If we had a colder climate/ seasons we'd raise them in deeper water & install a heater.
You don't have to run a filter for crayfish, depending on the stocking density & amount of feed being introduced.

@@TLFarm Thank you. That's a huge help of info.
May I know at what temperature do you set your heater?
nice vids,,,how many male did you put in one breeding tank? I mean what is the ratio?
Thank you very much. We stock 2-3 males with about 20 females.
Yummy!
They certainly are Brad. One of our BBQ favorites.
i have a female breeder this is the only one female left she is 7months old i think i i did not make her grow to the right size.if she got berried does the craylings will grow small also.thanks
Don't worry, at seven months old she isn't full size. Young females don't produce small craylings, they just produce less of them.
All should be fine.
Does the concrete retain water or did u do anything special to seal it
The cement is mixed with fine sand and then buffed repeatedly during drying until the surface becomes shiny & waterproof. Works a treat!
What S the species of the crabs in the grow out pond about 3 yr ago?
They're known as farm crabs (Boo Na.)
@@TLFarm thank you
Azolla ? or is that duckweed?
Azolla. We have used duckweed in the past 😉
อย่าให้มีสายลมติดกับของบ่อนะครับ หรืออะไรก็ตามที่่อยู่ชิดและสูงกว่าขอบบ่อ พวกนี้มันปืนได้โดยใช้แค่กร่าม
ออ โอเคค่ะ ขอบคุณมากที่แน่ะนำเดี๋ยวทำตามค่ะ
