PELIHARA LELE DARI KECIL SAMPAI PANEN HANYA DI DALAM GALON ⁉️❗

Summary

In this video, the creator shares their journey of raising catfish (lele) in a gallon container, demonstrating their growth from 6-8 cm to 25-27 cm over three months. The video documents the process of feeding, maintaining, and monitoring the fish's health, alongside the use of kangkung (water spinach) for added nutrition and oxygen. The creator highlights the development of the catfish, sharing tips and insights into the success of this small-scale aquaculture method. Ultimately, they show the final harvest, where both catfish and kangkung are enjoyed as homegrown meals.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video showcases the progress of raising catfish (lele) from small (6-8 cm) to consumable size (25-27 cm) in a period of 3 months, all within a gallon container.
• 😀 The catfish were initially purchased from the market, with 20 fish ranging from 5 cm to 8.5 cm in size.
• 😀 In the second week, the catfish started to grow noticeably, becoming larger, healthier, and cleaner.
• 😀 After 1 month, the fish showed significant growth, reaching weights of around 400 grams and lengths between 16 cm and 17 cm.
• 😀 By 1.5 months, the catfish were still healthy, with minimal mortality (only 1-2 fish lost), and some fish reached lengths of 18.5 cm.
• 😀 At 2 months, the growth slowed slightly, with the largest fish measuring 20 cm, and the weight approaching 800 grams.
• 😀 The owner added kangkung (water spinach) as a supplemental food source at 2.5 months to provide more oxygen and nutrition for the fish.
• 😀 By 3 months, the catfish grew to sizes of 25-26 cm and reached weights of around 1.3 kg, thriving in the gallon setup.
• 😀 The kangkung also grew well, and the owner harvested it to use as a vegetable alongside the catfish in meals.
• 😀 The entire process demonstrates that catfish can be successfully raised in small, confined spaces like a gallon, with the added benefit of homegrown kangkung for both the fish and the owner’s consumption.

Q & A

What size were the catfish (lele) when they were first bought?

The catfish were initially around 6 to 8 cm in size, with the largest being approximately 8.5 cm and the smallest around 5 cm.

How long did it take for the catfish to grow to a size suitable for consumption?

It took approximately 3 months for the catfish to grow from 6–8 cm to a size of 25–27 cm, which is considered large enough for consumption.

What was the initial number of catfish, and how many were added later?

The initial number of catfish was around 20. Later, the number was increased to about 30 as the fish grew and required more space.

How was the catfish habitat set up?

The catfish were raised in a gallon container (galon), which was modified by cutting and adding a net for growing kangkung (water spinach) on top. This setup provided additional oxygen for the fish.

What improvements were made to the catfish habitat during the 3 months?

The habitat was modified at the 2.5-month mark by cutting the gallon container and adding kangkung to the top, improving the environment for both the fish and the plant.

What kind of growth did the catfish experience during the first month?

In the first month, the catfish showed significant growth, becoming larger, fatter, and healthier. Some reached 16–17 cm, and their weight increased to around 400 grams.

How did the catfish fare after 2 months of being raised in the gallon?

After 2 months, the catfish continued to grow but at a slower rate. Their length reached up to 20 cm, and their weight increased to about 800 grams.

How did the addition of kangkung benefit the catfish?

The addition of kangkung not only provided additional oxygen for the catfish but also served as a source of food for them. Additionally, the kangkung could be harvested for human consumption.

What was the size and weight of the largest catfish after 3 months?

After 3 months, the largest catfish reached a length of 25–26 cm and a weight of approximately 1.3 kilograms.

What did the narrator do with the catfish and kangkung after harvesting?

After harvesting, the narrator used the catfish for cooking, preparing fried catfish, and also harvested kangkung for making a stir-fry. Both were consumed by the family.
