BUDIKDAMBER IKAN PATIN - BUDIKDAMBER ALTERNATIF SELAIN LELE

Summary

This video introduces the Budikdamber system, an innovative method of fish farming that combines aquaponics with container gardening. By raising catfish (ikan patin) alongside vegetables in a single 80-liter bucket, this system promotes sustainable food production at home. The video provides step-by-step instructions on setting up the system, including selecting the right fish, preparing the water, and maintaining the hydroponic setup. With benefits like eco-friendliness, affordability, and healthy food production, Budikdamber is an ideal solution for anyone looking to grow both fish and vegetables in a small space, offering educational value and self-sufficiency.

Takeaways

• 😀 Budikdamber is a sustainable fish farming technique that uses an aquaponics system to cultivate both fish and vegetables in the same container.
• 😀 The technique is versatile and can be used to raise fish such as catfish (lele) and patin (pangasius), with each species having specific stocking densities.
• 😀 Ikan patin (pangasius) is a soft-textured, nutritious freshwater fish with high amino acid and protein content, making it an affordable source of animal protein.
• 😀 Patin fish is highly beneficial for health, helping with cardiovascular disease prevention, reducing cholesterol, improving bone health, and promoting muscle and fetal development.
• 😀 Budikdamber allows for the simultaneous growth of fish and hydroponic vegetables like kangkung, pakcoy, mint, and spinach, creating a mutually beneficial ecosystem.
• 😀 An 80-liter container is typically used for fish farming, yielding 3 to 5 kilograms of fish per container.
• 😀 This farming technique is easy to implement, making it suitable for households, families, and community groups, and it can also serve as a pathway for aspiring entrepreneurs.
• 😀 Patin fish can be raised in a 20-liter container with up to 10 fish, and vegetables can be cultivated in a hydroponic system placed above the fish tank.
• 😀 The quality of water for fish and plants is crucial; water from PDAM (public water supply) should be left for a week before use to avoid harmful chemicals, while well water needs to be settled for two days to remove toxins.
• 😀 Proper feeding of patin fish is essential for successful farming, with the amount of food given adjusted based on the fish's body weight. It is recommended to feed fish twice a day using pellets or natural foods like shells, snails, or leftover kitchen food.

Q & A

What is the 'budikdamber' system?

The 'budikdamber' system is a fish farming technique that uses a container (such as a bucket or barrel) to cultivate fish and vegetables together, following an aquaponics method. This system combines fish farming with hydroponic vegetable growth, creating a sustainable environment where both can thrive.

How is the 'budikdamber' system different for farming catfish (lele) compared to patin fish?

While both catfish (lele) and patin can be cultivated in the 'budikdamber' system, the number of fish differs. Catfish can be stocked in higher quantities (60-100 fish per container), while patin fish require fewer (10-15 fish per container) due to their size.

Why is patin fish considered a good option for farming?

Patin fish is an affordable and nutritious option for farming. It contains high levels of protein, amino acids like glycine, leucine, and isoleucine, and offers health benefits such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and supporting muscle, bone, and pregnancy health.

Can vegetables be cultivated together with patin fish in the 'budikdamber' system?

Yes, vegetables such as kangkung (water spinach), pakcoy, mint leaves, and spinach can be grown on top of the 'budikdamber' containers in a hydroponic system. The water used for the fish is also utilized for growing the vegetables, creating a mutually beneficial environment.

What are the water requirements for patin fish in the 'budikdamber' system?

Patin fish require clean water with proper quality control. If using tap water (PDAM), it should be left out for a week to remove harmful substances. Well water should be allowed to sit for two days to let toxic gases dissipate. Proper water quality is crucial for the health of both the fish and the plants.

How should patin fish be fed in the 'budikdamber' system?

Patin fish should be fed twice daily, in the morning and afternoon, with food accounting for 3-5% of their body weight. The feed can consist of pellets or natural foods like snails, leftover fish, and vegetables. The feeding amount should be adjusted as the fish grow.

What is the recommended age and price of patin fish seedlings for starting in the 'budikdamber' system?

Patin fish seedlings, which are about one month old, can be purchased for around 700 IDR per fish. These young fish can be placed in containers that are approximately 20 liters in size.

What are the advantages of using the 'budikdamber' system for farming?

The 'budikdamber' system offers several advantages: it is environmentally friendly, requires minimal space, and provides both fish and vegetables for consumption. It can be managed by anyone, from housewives to children, and can be a viable business opportunity.

What precautions should be taken when using tap water (PDAM) for patin fish farming?

Tap water (PDAM) should not be used directly as it contains harmful substances for the fish and plants. It should be allowed to sit under the sun and rain for at least a week to neutralize harmful chemicals before use.

How long does it take for patin fish to reach harvestable size in the 'budikdamber' system?

Patin fish typically reach a harvestable weight of 600-700 grams within 6 months, though the harvest time can vary depending on market demand and the desired fish size.
