ray23 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I forgot we are now watering the mushrooms from the pond as well, so I should see some benefit from there as well. We have been using city water for about five months now as the pond was low. That is 1,100 baht a month. Things just got cheaper again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaanAussie Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Go look at the local seed, feed and fertiliser shop. Usually a big leaky old building run by Chinese Thai families not the small shophouses. They should have both. The molasses is easy to spot. Look for recycled plastic bottles or square jugs (bulk vinegar) from 5 to 10 litres, Plastic jerry cans of about 15 litres. Some even in old Coke 1.5 litre. No labels. The molasses (Gart Narm Tarn) is a heavy product that appears black and thick and smells like... burnt sugar. If you have a sugar mill nearby, they will have it. If all else fails, go to Tescos or the local store and buy the cheapest sugar you can. 1 litre of molasses or 1 kg of sugar. The more unrefined the sugar the better brown rather than white.

Ouch! guess the Thais missed by a mile on three months. It wasnlt shaping up that way to me. Might be the best thing to stick catfish in there and let them have lunch. Oh well live and learn.

nitecm Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Our area can obtain soybean and corn at farm gate price so i want to use it as the base to make the feed .anyone has any ideas of other components to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBullHorn Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) I thought you wanted to do Pla Duk Big Oui after visiting my farm ? Why the sudden change of course ? Pla Bu Tong isn't like Pla Duk and in Pla Chon farming (Snakehead fish), you need fresh raw grounded fish meal from raw thrash fishes like Pla Salit, Pla Siu or Pla Salak... and Pla Chon will swim toward the feed area (staged). Unlike Pa Chon, Pla Bu Tong is a stationary predator which prefer live prey swimming across its face...I'm not saying it won't eat raw ground thrash fish meal but it also need to have live prey feed.

nitecm Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks to guide me during the visit .I have 5 thousand pla du for testing.it is about 1.5month ago and only a few fishs die during delivery. The pond is dug by men because heavy vehicle can not go up to mountain area during raining season . As I ask for pla bu because I just want to rear for self consumption because normally I don't eat other fresh water fish . I try to use local product the corn and soybean to supplement the feed at the same area I want to dig another two 1rai pond after raining season As the scale is very small the price for the feed and fingerling is not only not competitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitecm Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 rchaseAs the scale is very small the price for the feed and fingerling is not only not competitive The transportation cost can varies from 1baht to 3 baht per kg .Our village is about 180km from chiang mai I must buy in bulk ( 8k above ) and use 6 wheel truck then i can cut the cost to 1 baht per kg when i make a purchase from Chiang Mai I have try to use the local product to cut down the feed cost since the area around us produce a lot of corn and soybean. I also can not rear in big scale because of the market . I will do multiple product -chicken, fish,potatoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonjake Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 good luck with the potatoes,, many have tried and many have failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotham79 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Potatoes are grown up in the hills around here (with great drainage) and Chiang Mai area should be no different. If Irish potatoes don't work, there are a dozen types of yams or cassava to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djayz Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'm not sure if this is the correct thread or not for my question. If not, I'll move it to Thai language. What is "pacu" in Thai? I couldn't find it in the dictionary. PS Is there a thread here on thaivisa which lists the names of fish in English AND Thail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the South American freshwater fish, then maybe the Thai don't have a word for it? Re the thread about the names of Thai fish and their English equivalent ... I've not seen one here in the Farming Forum. But there is the fishing-in-thailand Forum ... maybe they know. That's a link you can click. EDIT ... if you do find that Fish naming thread ... drop back and list it here ... certainly would be worth a read.

patongphil Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Pacu - pla jaramet Red bellied Pacu - pla jaramet daeng. Most common is the red bellied. Very popular in fishing parks and pretty common in farm dams. Great sport fish and pretty good eating. Most fish suppliers have them if you ask.

GaryB1263 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hello Gentlemen. I was wondering about fish farming in Thailand. But the same problem comes up.. My question is; How big a problem is fish theft? Also where do you get your water? Is a stream or a river the only option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
