Fish farming is a good business but someone can easily lose money if care is not taken. There is a high probability that you are going to lose money when you are raising fish from fingerlings especially if you are a first-timer. One thing I can say is that there is high demand for fish so fish farming will continue to be profitable.

Fish farming is a really good business that can earn you so much profits. People love taking fish as part of their meals and so you have ready market for them. You just need to have good knowledge of how to farm the fish. Like how to make the fish ponds and what to feed the fish.

Fish farming is not a simple business because you need to know very well how to care for the fish. Usually the fish pond owner would buy the small fish called fingerlings or the smallest fries. They will fill the pond with that and let them grow. I have an uncle who had a vast fish farm and I had been there twice so I know that it is a business with a complex operation.

Fish farming is generally a profitable endeavor. On one hand, fish is recognized to be healthy food and is highly requested on the market. And on the other hand, fish are excellent animals to rear. They can be supported with low-cost feed and convert most of the nourishment into flesh. However, the level of profitability depends on a few factors, some of which involve the type of fish you are rearing.

That should be a great idea! I have never heard about it. It's a pity, that it cannot be fulfilled in EU.

The prospect of fish farming and its numerous benefits cannot be overemphasized. Starting a fish farm is also really cost effective as it can be positioned anywhere even at your backyards.
For small scale fish farming the problem of land can be overlooked as you can construct a small fish pond of maybe 50 by 50 to contain at least a hundred fishes. To start this kind of business you would need to have a good and stable water supply because the water where the fishes are kept must be flushed or drained in regular basis and new fresh and clean water put into this pond.
Fishes takes about 3 to 4 months to grow into edible food and 5 to 7 to grow into maturity or reared for breading purposes.

Fish farming I believe is very much profitable if you know how to go about it and how you can be able to handle the fingerling until they are mature enough to sell. Selling actually may not be the problem but the problem may be on how you will be able to take care of the little fishes, and as a result you need to learn it.

I think as long as you stick to all of the guidelines so you stay away from legal troubles, small scale fish farming at home can be an extremely lucrative side hustle. Eating fish and fish products have some many positive benefits that there will always be an open market for your product.
