This is something I want to do too, with all the GMO's and growth hormones in our normally sourced food.

Baka malangaw lang and mabaho pag hindi commercial ang feed.

ako naman not because of gmo. sayang kasi yung tinatapon namin na food everyday. we cook too much tapos ako lang kumakain ng re-heated food. next day tapon na. if i can grind it and feed it to alimango ...

2nd question is, pwede sa fresh water? or brackish water lang?
3rd question, how long to culture?

Mahirap siguro sir kasi territorial ang mudcrab. Mataas mortality kapag siksikan. They do tend to stray away sa ponds kapag
Kulang pakain.

Abundant kasi ang shellfish sa bukid pati mga trash fish. Ok din ang kamoteng kahoy.

Bihira naman nagpapakain ng feeds. Usually mga malalaking farms lang. Mahal kasi ang feeds. Maraming natural feeds sa mga bukid kaso mahirap palakihin ng husto sa madaling panahon kapag hindi feeds.

Brakishwater sir if you want na mapalaki sa magandang size.

kung tagakain lang ng tirang pagkain sir. Try nyo native na chicken. Pumapalo 300 per kilo sa buhay. Or pabo. 1400 / kilo yata yan dressed na sa mga supermarket. Maganda pa bantay sa property. Parang aso mag-ingay kapag may tao. Yun barako nanghahabol ng tao. Hehe!

Kung tanks sir i havent tried bangus pero sa tilapia pwede. 35 days to reach maturity at reproduction. Mabilis magharvest at nanganganak. Pwede ka pa manghingi ng fry sa government. Last year binigyan ako ng 15000 na fry. Maganda fry ng government. Mabilis lumaki saka matataba. Mapaabot mo lang ng 3 to 4 pcs per kilo. 50 pesos per kilo sa consignee pero kaya naman nila bilhin by bulk. 180 yata sa supermarket ang kilo nun. 120 sa palengke

hehe, i am not planning for commercial purposes. pambahay lang. mahilig sa alimango and crabs mga anak ko. so since malakas sila kumain nyan e why not let them raise it themselves. am not even planning to raise from semilya, siguro yung mga crablets na 1 peso na ang size. maybe 9-12 lang at a time. hobby lang.

may nabasa ako individual crabs in bamboo cages.

Di ka nag-iisa sir. Ako din lang tirador ng tira sa bahay. Kahit mga di nagustuhan na pagkain na tinikman lang, ako na automatic uubos nun. Ex-boss din ng misis ko. I grew up having to finish everything on my plate. Something I still try to do to this day. Nakasanayan na kasi. I wish my wife was brought up the same way para maituro din sa anak namin, but I guess I'm just destined to become fat.

Sounds like a lot of work, hehe. Pero normally sir wala naman amoy pag tama lang pakain?

Not necessarily sir. Kung ayaw mag-compute. Gumawa na lang ng malaking tray. Dun ilagay ang pagkain. Iangat na lang after a day para ma-adjust mo pakain mo para mabawasan excess.

trash fish ang medyo smelly kaya kelangan the following day observe mo yun tubig. Sa palaisdaan mas mainam ang kapos sa pagkain kesa sobra. Unconsumed food introduces bacteria. Kapag uncontrolled eh magkaka-redtide ka sa pond. Thus fishkill...and literally red pala talaga. Naobserve ko dun sa katabi ko na palaisdaan.

Actually sir pag bumaho at may langaw yun farm is bec excess yun pagkain. Kahit feeds yan lalangawin. May computation naman para hindi sobra or kulang pakain. Usually kapag nilangaw or lumutang pakain mo, you should be very worried. Its either mahina yun alaga mo or nagkamatay na.
