Making Food For The Catfish

[MissFarmGirl]

Father feed the catfish many things

sometimes he fed them pellet food

sometimes he feed them other fish

same as I say here

but this fish not dr fish, this fish called sucker fish

in Thai language name is ปลาดูด

other name is also pla dood

we don't like to eat this fish

outside of fish not nice to touch, not nice to look at

Guys ... this was a big step for MissFarmGirl as she has never written about the work her and her family do at the farm.

I chose a simple topic for her to start with.

Even that required a wee bit of arm twisting.

So, well done MissFarmGirl for having the courage to post here ...

I'll do a few photos below and the obligatory YouTube.

Not the prettiest of subjects ... but life on the Farm nevertheless.

The Farm helper

In one end ...

... and out the other

Apparently the Catfish go nuts for this stuff.

As we say ... nothing is wasted at the Farm.

For those with a bit of decent bandwith ...

So, my question to you guys who Farm Catfish, either commercially or for domestic consumption ... what do you feed them?

That was it for the Making the Catfish Food side of the story.

Here are a few shots of the grinder ...

Just a couple of photos to finish off with the Cat Fish.

^^ The first noticeable difference between this pond and the ponds for the Pla Nin is the water quality and colour.

Not on the scale of RedBullHorn's operations ... but the catfish offers diversification on the Farm which is centred around the production of Prawns and Tilapia.

What stocking density do you run?

How do you sell them?
