Fish Gourami

Gourami (Osphronemus gouramy, Lacepede) is a freshwater fish Anabantidae family. This fish has a slender body shape and width. In the adult fish, width nearly twice its body length of ¾ times the length of the head or body. Shape head carp are still young taper forward, and after dark becomes low and flat. Body color mainly on the back is a red-brown while in the belly yellowish or silvery. A pair of pelvic fin gourami will change into a pair of long threads that serves as a feeler. The fins are hard pressed on his back while crossing the line at the bottom of her ribs dorsal fin. Maximum body length of 65 cm.

Strain carp are known to the public quite a lot and varies between strains which are distinguished on the basis of its ability to produce eggs, the growth rates and maximum weight that can be achieved as an adult. However, there has been no determination of the standard strains of carp from the relevant authorities. Some are known in the community is gourami blue sapphire, paris, Baster and stone.

Gourami is a relatively slow growing fish and eggs just reached maturity around the age of 2 years.

To ensure good quality food fish, the parent needs to provide superior because of the superior parent will result in improved seed as well. Superior stem and seeds can be obtained from BBI or the People's Hatchery Unit (UPR). In Banyumas, mother superior by the local BBI classified into four main criteria are seeded 1, seeded 2, seeded 3 and 4 that differentiated superior based on spawning frequency and number of eggs produced. Providing superior parent by BBI to ensure the quality of the parent that is maintained by farmers which in turn affects the production of eggs and juvenile fish. To improve the quality of the resulting parent is the parent of genetic improvement through crossbreeding (cross breeding) to ensure growth and high resistance to disease, and not allowed marriage one instance (in breeding).

Black Ghost Fish

Fish Black Ghost comes from the Amazon river, South America is a fish peacemakers, whose size can reach 50 cm, body elongated and flattened with a black body color. This fish is classified as a fish knife (Knifefishes), because the overall body shape resembles a knife out of the head and body and then melancip the stomach.

Terms of media for the desired water quality of fish Black Ghost which is 'soft' (software) and tend to sour, however the "Black Ghost" relative to live in conditions of water varies. Black Ghost also choose a certain type of food, can eat dry food, frozen food and life, yet would prefer if the worms fed with hair.

I. FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS

Means and materials needed to produce fish "Black Ghost" is:

1. Container maintenance & equipment

• Aquarium size (40 x 40 x 80) cm as the maintenance of the parent and at the same spawning place of attachment fitted with a plastic tray of eggs filled with stones, or tree fern.
• Aquarium size (60 x 40 x 40) cm as a place to hatch eggs.
• Installation of aeration blowers, aeration hose and aeration stone.
• Other equipment such as hose to replace the water, soope net and fish tank cleaning equipment (brushes, etc.)

2. Feed

• 'Blood worm' which is used as the main feed.
• Hair worm used as food for fish from age 2 weeks to adulthood.
• Artemia, which is used to feed larvae.

II. Operational Activities

1. Hatchery

Activities include maintenance of the parent and hatchery broodstock, spawning and larval treatment.

1.1. Maintenance Parent

Difference male and female adult fish can be seen especially from chin length (distance between the tip of the mouth with gill cover). In male fish, his chin is relatively long compared to female fish. Males are relatively more slender than the female fish that have a form of abdominal fat. In the adult male, there is a white liquid (sperm) when sorted the stomach. Master Black Ghost can mature egg after about one year old with a length of 15 cm.

Parent females and males reared in a container of aquarium-sized (80 x 40 x 50) cm, with the installation of aeration with a feed 'Warm Blood' which is given by the frequency of 3 times / day for (ad libitum).

Substitution of water should be done every day to throw dirt at the bottom of the aquarium and maintain the quality of maintenance media.

1.2. Spawning

Spawning done en masse in the aquarium as well as the maintenance of the parent. Comparison of female and male parent is 2: 1. On the spawning container, placed a plastic tray size (30x20x7) cm, filled with rocks as a place of attachment of eggs and at the center of the tray covered with perforated trays (20x15x10) cm to protect eggs from predation own parent. For aquarium size (80 x 60 x 50) cm can be kept 10 fish holding at least 5 females and males.

The environment in which maintenance and spawning fish Black Ghost is usually made relatively dark, and these fish spawn at night. Towards the rising sun, a place of attachment of egg trays should be immediately taken and transferred to the hatchery, to avoid egg predation by the parent. Eggs are harvested from spawning tray 200 eggs / day.

1.3. Hatching eggs and larvae treatment

Hatching eggs made at the aquarium, and will hatch on the third day. Food naupli artemia be started on day 10 after hatching, and then given a hair worms ad libitum.

1.4. Separating and Enlargement

Nursery activities conducted after the larvae can eat the hair worms, which were 2 weeks, until the fish reach the size of 1 inch with long maintenance of 1-15 months while the Black Ghost fish rearing activities undertaken to reach commercial size, which is 2-3 inches. Containers that are used to form the aquarium or tub with stocking density 2-5 fish / l. Feed given during maintenance are hair worms ad libitum. Black Ghost Fish with a size of 2 inches can be reached within two months. While the size of 3 inches can be achieved by increasing the maintenance time for three weeks. Cleaned to remove dirt must be done every day for the media quality is maintained.

Betta Fish Farming

Here are the ways betta fish farming:

Gonadal maturation

Gonad maturation is done in a small aquarium or jar. The trick, prepare two aquarium size 20 cm long, 20 cm width and height of 20 cm or jar with a volume of 2-3 liters (one for males and one for females); dry for 2 days; water content as high as 15 cm, the input of the tail stem male or female; news feed in the form of worms taste hair worms or silk worms.

Spawning

Spawning done in aqurium or jar. The trick, prepare two aquarium size 20 cm long, 20 cm width and height of 20 cm or jar with a volume of 2-3 liters (one for males and one for females); dry for 2 days; water content as high as 15 cm; inputs allied eceng goduk as a protector; input single breeding male, female parent input; let it spawn.

Note: The process begins with the creation of spawning nest by the male parent in the form of foam on the surface of the water. Next invite females to spawn. Spawning can occur at any time, can be morning, afternoon, evening or night. When you are spawning is characterized by the existence of eggs in the foam and the male is on the surface, waiting for eggs while wagging his fins. Eggs will hatch within 24-36 hours and began to swim after the age of 5-6 days. A breeding female can produce as many larvae 500-1500 tail.

Separating

Separating done in the same aquarium or jar. Way, catching the male parent and input back to the maturation of the gonads; female parent was also arrested and input into the gonadal ridge, larvae that have been aged for 6 days were given a feed infusoria, or rotifers, or naupli artemia; harvested after a month.

Separating II and III

Separating II, conducted in an aquarium or other jars. How, to prepare an aquarium size 20 cm long, 20 cm width and height of 20 cm or jar with a volume of 2-3 liters; dry for 2 days; contents as high as 15 cm of water, add 30 individuals originating from seeds nursery places; form of news feed hair worms or silk worms appropriate dosage; harvested after a month. Separating II is like separating II, but with a density of 20 fish.

Enlargement

Enlargement done at the aquarium or other jars. How, to prepare an aquarium size 20 cm long, 20 cm width and height of 20 cm or jar with a volume of 2-3 liters; dry for 2 days; water content as high as 15 cm, 10 fish seed inputs originating from the nursery; form of news feed hair worms or silk worms appropriate dosage; harvested after two months. Fish is ready for sale.
