Hi steemit it's been a few days I did not write a post in steemit. Today I will make an article how to breed carp, this is a very delicious fish, I really like it. Without much long telling story in the beginning go on to know how to cultivate carp.

Goldfish is one type of fish that is very familiar in Indonesia. This fish is famous for its delicious taste. These fish belong to the type of fresh fish. Goldfish is also called tombro fish or carp fish.

Broadly speaking carp is divided into two types, namely carp consumption and ornamental fish. Types of carp consumed there are about 10 species, namely local goldfish, red carp, goldfish majalaya, taiwan goldfish, goldfish punten, goldfish yamato, and goldfish princess yogya or the mistress.

The type of goldfish is best known by the wider community in Indonesia that is the type of local goldfish. This type of goldfish is thought to have originated from several uncontrolled breeds, so its characteristics are difficult to identify.

Guidance and Steps of Goldfish Cultivation.

Cultivation of carp is one of the very promising business. In addition to the easy way, the benefits of fish farming is also quite large. Therefore, many people make the cultivation of carp as the main job or side job.

For those of you who want to start a business of fish livestock, carp farming can be the right choice. Fish cultivation is not difficult and the result is very tempting.

Ideal Terms and Conditions for the Cultivation of Goldfish.

Not all places or areas suitable for cultivation ikam mas. Ideal place for this fish farming, which is in the area that bearada at an altitude of 150 - 1000 meters above sea level. The ideal temperature for goldfish growth is in the range of 20 - 25oC.

Goldfish hatchery.

The first thing to be prepared when starting a carp cultivation business is to choose seeds or prospective breeders. This stage is a very important stage.

The success of carp culture is influenced by the quality of the fish seeds that will be cultivated. The superior seeds come from the breeds of superior breeds.

The Characteristics of Good Parent:

• Male breeding age not less than 8 months with minimum weight of 0.5 kg.
• For female breeders, age not less than 1.5 - 2 years with minimum weight 2 kg.
• The state of healthy fish and body smooth.
• A good fish is used as a mother, its head is smaller than its badann.
• There are no white spots on the gills (gills are clean).
• Fish scales neatly arranged, symmetrical, not grooved and broken, and relatively large in size. - Scales brightly colored fish, dull scales indicate the fish is too old.
• The tail length of the fish is larger than the width, the tail is good and strong.
• In order not to happen inbreeding that reduce the quality of fish seeds, select prospective breeds from different breeds, both male and female.

Spawning Goldenfish.

Prepare a special pond nursery. Male and female breeds are treated in these ponds separately. Both breeds are separated until they are ready to spawn.

Once the fish breeders are ready to spawn, the breeders are moved to a special pond that has been prepared for marriage or spawning. Spawning pond is equipped with kakaban, which is where the eggs are attached to fertilization.

Characteristics of female breeders ready for spawning:

• The movement is slow or not agile.
• Often jumping around at night.
• His belly bulge or enlarged to the back and if touched feels soft.
• The anal opening protrudes with redness.

Characteristics of males ready for spawning:

• The movement is agile (agile).
• Removing the white liquid (sperm) from the genitals when massaged.

The process of goldfish hatchery takes about 4.5 months. Needs of seeds for the cultivation of enlargement usually measuring 100 grams of one tail.

Enlargement Business Goldfish cultivation.

To reduce the risk of failure, the seeds used in the cultivation of carp are usually those that are 10-12 cm, or weighs 80-100 grams / head. The size of a seed of this size is strong enough to be raised in a magnification pool.

There are several goldfish cultivation techniques, such as the method of calm water, rushing water, or intercropping methods. This cultivation place can be a pool of land, pools of walls, rice fields, korb kalpal, floating net, and ponds.

Goldfish Cultivation In Soil Pond / Quiet Water.

The cultivation of carp in the calm water with the ground floor is widely used by most farmers. Hali is because of how to make the pond easy and the cost of making is cheap. If done alone, it does not cost anything.

There are two types of soil ponds, namely the ground pool with a clay embankment and a pool of land with a wall embankment. This type of pool has advantages over other types of ponds, such as soil pools can provide natural food for fish, help reduce feed costs, and fish in more fertile soil ponds.

How to Make a Fish Pond.

Swimming for fish enlargement should not be made carelessly. Pool factors greatly affect the productivity of cultivation. There are several things that must be considered in making a fish pond, namely:

• Analyzing Soil Type To Create Fish Pond.

Sandy clay is the best soil for making fish ponds. The soil is a solid texture so that the dike is made easier and stronger.

• Fish Pond layout.

If you just want to create one pool, the layout of the pool is simpler. But if the number of ponds that will be made a lot, the layout of the pond needs to be considered well.

The success of carp culture is influenced by the quality of the fish seeds that will be cultivated. The superior seeds come from the breeds of superior breeds.

Water quality in parallel watering systems is maintained. Because the water that goes into the pond directly from the source.

As for the series irrigation system, each pool receives water intake from previous pool expenditure. This system is suitable if water intake is limited.

The weakness of the series irrigation system is that it is difficult to control water pollution and the spread of disease. The advantage is that the irrigation canal does not take place and can be made simple. Construction and maintenance costs are cheaper.

• Make fish pond embankment.

The main function of the embankment is to limit fish ponds and retain water. Good dikes should be strong to withstand water loads, not leaking, not easily erosion, impermeable (not seeped). Pool dikes can be made from soil or walls.

• Create a water channel.

Inlet and outlet channels are a vital part of fish ponds. With this channel, the quality of pond water will be more awake.

The number of incoming and outgoing channels is adjusted to pool size. In large pools, channels can be made more than one.

Do not place incoming and outgoing water channels. Keep the distance as far as possible and cross for water circulation in the pool. The incoming water replaces the old water and the old water comes out.

• Makes kemalir.

Kemalir serves to accommodate the residual food deposits, regulate the flow of water down, precipitate dangerous mud, and also facilitate the harvesting time.

How to cultivate carp in a pond land:

• Perform piracy on the bottom of the pond, calcification, fertilization, then waterlogging.
• This process takes about 1 -2 weeks, depending on the weather when swimming pool.
• The seeds used are seeds that are 80 to 100 grams / tail.
• Land pool capacity of 10 -20 head / m2 Main feeding fish in the form of pellets with 25% protein content.
• Dose of feed as much as 3 - 4% of fish weight.
  -If we are planting 100 goldfish means it needs to feed as much as 3-4 kg one day.
• Feeding is done in the morning, afternoon and afternoon.
• Weigh the weight of the goldfish every 2 weeks.
• Take some randomly and weigh.
• Furthermore feeding is adjusted to the weight of the fish.
• Fish weight will rise to about 300 - 400 grams per head within three months.
• With this size, the fish can be harvested.
• Maintenance costs of fish will swell if kept maintained, unless there is bid price of higher fish.

Cultivation of Mas Fish in Swamp Water Pond.

In this type of pool, the oxygen content in water is relatively higher. So this type of pool can accommodate more fish than the pool of calm water.

The area of ​​the water pool is usually narrower, not as wide as a calm pool. In order for the water to remain profusely, the pool area is mapped into small pond size.

Pool walls are made of walls to prevent erosion due to waterlogging. The water pool is made deeper than the calm pool.

How to cultivate a Mas fish in a swamp pool:

• Make sure the water source remains smooth.
• Drinking water requires more water discharge.
• Seed stock capacity is 30 - 60 head / m2.
• The faster the water, the greater the capacity.
• Use fish seeds with 100 grams / m2 weight.
• Feeding with 25-30% protein content.
• Because the water is fast enough, give a pellet that can survive in water.
• The feed dose is 4% of the fish body.
• Weigh the fish every two weeks, so that feed can be adjusted.
• Feed is given three times a day; morning afternoon Evening.
• Fish are harvested after fish 2.5 - 3 months, with yields three to four times the initial weight.

How to Make Floating Waters Swamp Water.

Kemalir serves to accommodate the residual food deposits, regulate the flow of water down, precipitate dangerous mud, and also facilitate the harvesting time.

The frame of the pond is made of bamboo or wood with bearing from drums. Attach anchoring anchors to the bottom of the pool to prevent the skeleton from carrying the current.

How to Cultivate Fish In Floating Net:

• The net used is 1.5 cm in size.
• Go to the net 3 meters. - Seeds that are used weighs 100 grams / tail.
• Floating net pool capacity of about 30 heads / m2.
• Feed with 25% protein content.
• The amount of feed required daily by 4% of the fish body weight.
• Weigh the fish by choosing the fish randomly every two weeks.
• Frequency of feed given as much as 3 times a day.
• After the fish is 3 months old, the fish is ready to be harvested.
• Size of fish about 300 - 400 gram one tail.

Cultivation of Mas Fish in Tarp Pond.

The cultivation of carp in the tarpaulin pond is basically the same as the cultivation in the other pools. It could even be said to be more practical. The cost required is not as much as the cost of making a concrete pool.

Excellence Fish Cultivation Mas on Tarp Pond:

• Save space, cost, and easy.
• The temperature of the tarpaulin pool is more stable.
• The quality of the goldfish from the tarpaulin pond is fresher.
• This is because the fish are not harvested by mud.
• Fish harvesting process is easier.
• The risk of disease attacks is minimal.

Pest Control and Goldfish Disease.

The development of cultivation business is very rapid. Along with that, the spread of disease becomes a risk that must be considered. Each cultivator must know the diseases that usually attack carp.

Pest and disease attacks on fish can reduce productivity, or lead to crop failures that potentially reduce profits or cause harm.

Goldfish pests.

Goldfish pests are very many types. The most frequent problems in fish farming are among:

• Fish cork.

Prevention: To suppress the development of cork fish, do drying the bottom of the pond until dry before starting cultivation.

Attach the filter of the fibers tightly to prevent the fish from entering the pond. The fibers filter will prevent adult cork fish, cork fish seeds, and cork fish eggs into the pond.

Eradication: One way of catching a cork is by fishing, putting a small fish or a toad on a fishing line as a bait.

• Eels and crabs.

Eels and crabs usually damage the embankment or pond maturation by drilling holes in the pond embankment. The pit made this pest causes the pond to leak. Both animals are also a pest and sometimes also become fish predators.

The success of carp culture is influenced by the quality of the fish seeds that will be cultivated. The superior seeds come from the breeds of superior breeds.

• Frogs and snakes.

Both of these animals usually prey on fish that are still small. Snakes are effectively prevented by direct capture. But be careful when catching this animal, because this type of venomous animal. The frogs can be prevented by maintaining the cleanliness of the pond and routinely clean the pool of frog eggs.

• Cybister larvae.

Prevention: Clean the pool of organic material, as well as the surrounding environment. This pest can be prevented from entering by installing a filter in the spring water.

• Beaver .

Beavers are one of the species of carnivorous fish-eating animals. These animals are very greedy and can eat large fish. Ponds near the river are more prone to be attacked by beavers.

The best way to prevent this pest is by lining the pond. Install the night lights to prevent beaver attacks.

Goldfish disease.

There are two things that cause sick fish, namely poor environmental conditions and pathogenic organisms. Bad environmental disease usually comes because of poor water quality, harmful substance poisoning, or because of lack of nutrients. Usually the disease is not contagious.

While the disease caused by pathogenic organisms is called infectious diseases. The disease is potentially contagious from one fish to another fish. This infectious disease can be caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoan fungi, and other parasites.

Some diseases that often attack goldfish.

• White spots.
• Swollen gills and body.
• Gill and skin worms.
• Fish lice.
• Mushrooms.
• Itchy. - Bacteria.
• Koi herves virus.

Harvest Goldfish cultivation.

The best time to harvest the goldfish when the fish already weighs 300-400 grams / tail. Fish weights below that, still have the potential to be raised.

If the weight has exceeded 400 grams, carp is no longer economical to raise. The portion of feed consumed by fish is no longer in line with its growth, and the selling price of fish in the market.

The cost of fish maintenance, especially for feeding will be greater with the increase of fish weight of one tail. So the longer the time of enlargement, the greater the operational costs incurred. Unless there is a market that is willing to accept large goldfish with the price of one kilo gram more expensive, enlargement is still worth continuing.

The time required for goldfish cultivation is about 2-3 months. In that time period the fish weight will grow 3-4 times, about 300-400 gram one tail from the initial weight of 100 grams.

Thus a short guide to the cultivation of carp. You can make this fish farming as one of your business. Good luck. Yours sincerely @muklis
