Farming Red Tilapia

Yes, We did started off by farming Soon Hock aka Marble Goby and there's been lots of inquiries on them. However, we do not farm Soon Hock in large scale anymore as they are too sensitive. In another words, we have failed to farm Soon Hock in large scale. Therefore we're only concentrating on Red Tilapia.

It's been 3 long years we've ventured into farming and we've come a long way. So much that we've picked up, some success and some failures.
However we're still standing very firm on practicing good aquaculture which doesn't involve chemical and farming the fishes in a proper(slow) pace. What we are eating in the market now, I am not just talking about fishes but most meat and especially chicken are being farm and sold before they are mature. What happens if the livestock is immature? You don't eat the real flavor of the meat and nutrients are insufficient due to their young age.

What are we facing by practicing good aquaculture? FINANCIAL CRISIS. haha nah... financial crisis sounds too serious but seriously, we don't profit so much because we took longer time and everything from electricity to labor are costly. Any businessman would say our business proposal is not profitable but we have a principal to keep.

We just hope, one day we could cut of the middleman and go direct to end user in order to sustain and make a healthy profit. Fingers crossed.
