Koi Fish Breeding For Profit
When we talk about fish breeding, the first thing that comes in mind is the fact that fish spawn huge number of eggs and when these eggs hatch the fry grow to be mature fish then you sell them generating huge profits. If this is your idea about koi breeding then do yourself a favor and do not breed any type of fish, especially koi. Koi fish could be a very profitable business but for hard workers who do not plan to take any vacations in the near future and work for a long period of time daily. As every profitable business, koi breeding is risky. One mistake and you are out of the game, but on the other hand if you played it by the book then you will get a nice rewarding profit.
To start koi breeding you should be prepared completely to face any usual or unusual circumstances during the breeding cycle. First, let us browse through some simple facts to give a quick idea about the process.
The female koi fish spawn approximately two hundred thousand fry; let us do some math here. The usual hatching percent of moderate koi equals 50% which results in a 100 000 fry. We can say that one grown fish is sold for anywhere from 50 to 500 dollars according to size and type. A mean calculation price of 80 dollars should be appropriate. The transportation through the United States costs around 15 dollars.
So, let us say that 70 000 fry reach the market size and sold for 80 dollars and subtracting the shipping cost of 15 dollars and another 25 dollars for the growing up cost then the net profit of one fish is approx. 40 dollars; this is a very good profit but it needs a lot of attention to gain it.
There was an old joke saying: when would a person become very rich from breeding a koi fish? The answer was: well….. He should become very reach in the beginning. That proves that breeding koi is not a small project that you are going to start it with few bucks and then you get bored and get rid of it. It is a big project that invests a reasonable amount of money to gain tangible profit.
The first requirement which is even before the money is the place. You need a big pond filled with water that can be aerated and circulated on daily basis. Your pond should be deep enough to keep constant temperature at the bottom half. Filters and especially bio filters are very important to keep the koi fish healthy.
Bottom line, you should be prepared to spend money and time before expecting to start receiving your profit. As long as you are keeping your eyes on the koi pond, you will keep getting profit from it. If you think that after a while you will be able to sit back and the farm will generate money alone then you should really think twice. Koi are a sensitive fish that need attention and caring and it will give you the suitable rewarding profit for the time and effort invested. Do not waste your time, be prepared and read a lot and then apply what you read in a good koi farm and you won't regret it!
