i live on a river and catch a dozen of these every day or so for fishing. i should start selling them, people are desperate for live bait

>>18688117
They look like insects, you must be a chink.

Not if you grow them in your living room

I'm making one of these

The trade secret is to put them on treadmills to increase their size

If you're going to buy the SkyChain contrapment you might as well get a shrimp rig.

If you turn a fridge sideways it can be used as a tub.

This business sounds nice. How do you grow shrimp? It’s like growing a plant? Where do I get shrimp seeds?

>>18688540
1. Use a 24 PPI sponge filter from an aquarium store. This filters the shit out so the water is not toxic. The filter also oxygenates the water so they can breathe better.

2. You need to be sure the water is not too acidic or it's not hard (rain water, not from a deep well where there are minerals).

3. Room temperature, if the thing freezes over the shrimp will die.

Anyone else do any other animal agriculture?

When I get a property, I'm getting into rabbitry.

>NZ and California White cross gives a litter of 5-8 kits
>In 6 weeks with ~$6 in food, the kits will get to butcher weight
>skinned and boned (easy bc they are small), they are ~4lbs.
>it's the leanest and lowest cholesterol red meat and you can sell it to fine dining restaurants and soccer moms at farmer's markets for $4/lb.
>Sell pelts for $2-$3 to craft supply places
>Potential of $13 profit per animal, once your equipment, like hutches and such, are paid off
>low maintenance
>fine living in cages, since they are 1,000's of generations removed from their wild cousins

Pic related for a good rabbitry guide. Storey's guides are made for other animals as well.

>>18688797
how do you kill the rabbits?

>>18688797
I raised rabbits once, they multiply like crazy.
You can sell the meet and also pin the skin to a plank for use later on for sewing hats and selling them on Etsy.

>>18688825
You take a machete to the neck, at least that's how my father was doing it.

I had a friend in highschool who grew pidgeons, they make for nice soup. But I don't think they are valuable.

IMHO short pidgins, long shrimp. Carp are a falling knife.

>>18688825
If you want to maintain the whole pelt, you calm it down and hold it up by it's hind legs and whack it with a priest (that short bat fishermen use to whack fish, funny name). Hard and fast.

I couldn't find a link, but there's this specialty rabbitry supply store that sells this thing that's like a bar you bolt to the wall with a long bar that's welded to one end of the bar and comes off of it at like a 20 degree angle. You slide the rabbits neck in the wide side and slide it over to the skinny side gently and then quickly yank its hind legs and it snaps the neck at the base of the skull. Even a kid could kill a rabbit this way without feeling too bad.

>>18688797
i have a friend whose family own a rabbit farm. as >>18688853 said they breed quickly and are generally low fuss

>>18688150
>anglos
stick to your fish and chips

>>18688977
Yes, but I think shrimp are the ultimate low maintenance profit makers.

>>18689057
Can you give us some links to how you got started? Any good books? Very interested in non-traditional agriculture as a moneymaking venture.

I am the premier shrimp farmer along the Ohio River. If you think you can come around my neck of the woods and sell your bullshit shrimp. Just know, I have studied the blade and the street sweeper. Your blood is on your own hands.

You will be sleeping with the shrimpies.

Holy shit, kek. Thanks, bro! I will check it out for sure!

At least you didn't fall for the freight broker meme.

>>18689240
Time for a shrimp turf war then. I treadmill my shrimp every day for 4 hours. My shrimp are ripped.

>>18688117
blessed thread. my shrimp farm is going nicely thanks for asking. i have 23 zebra shrimp going atm. comfy af

>>18689536
The best thing is that you can walk them like dogs

>>18688117
My shrimp can talk, it's weird AF but they tell me to market buy Kleros daily. I'm running out of FIAT. I need help.

>>18688117
I got some red cherry breeders going on right now

>>18688797
Rabbits are easy to take care of and they taste great. This or goats.

>>18688117
the triads agree

>>18689266
yeah lemme know when it even starts downloading...

How much can you sell these shrimps for? I really need a way to make some money..

>>18688117

getting into aquaculture is great. I'm at a 3rd world country and have a property bought for 500k USD for aquafarming. Milkfish is a reliable money maker here. On average, I get 80k USD a year for virtually doing nothing. I just hire a few people and pay them 200-500 USD a month to feed, raise the fish, harvest, and ship to the local market. It's good money in the 3rd world, where 3 bedroom luxury condos in the capital cost only about 1000 USD a month. The hard part is scaling it. It's hard to find cheap property as well as handle logistics. And since you're in the 3rd world, hard to find workers you can trust to not steal your shit. Nowadays, I just save the bulk of the money and pour it into crypto and stocks. Looking to move to a 1st world country in a few years, this place is a shithole

>>18690326
How the fuck did you pay 500k for a piece of land ou nigger?

Crystal red shrimp farmer here.
Selling for 2.50 euro pp.

>>18690400
Inheritance (house and sold it) and a loan. Land is cheap in 3rd world asia, especially if you buy deep in the rural provinces.

>>18690593
Damn goals. How often do you do water changes? You make much profit?

I had no idea this was a thing, simply based.

Started with 11 gallon tank. 10 crystal red shrimps. In 6 months they were with 50. Bought 45 gallon tank, in 1 year i had more than 600. Just sold 300 via ebay like site in my country. 2.50 euro pp. These CRS are very popular, can sell them to aquarium shops aswell. I change 30% with tapwater once a week.

>>18691330
Doesn't the chlorine in tap water cause issues? Is it not added where you are? Does letting it sit let the chlorine evaporate?

>>18688797
rabbits are cute and did nothing wrong, u should feel bad

>>18691500
yes comrade, we should eat more bugs and dead humans instead

There is almost no chloride in our tap water, but there are tap water conditioners available to get rid of the chloride/chloramime But i don 't have any experience with them.

>>18691500
Try raising them and you see how soulless they are. I literally have never had a problem with putting the broom stick over their neck, standing on it and then pulling their legs.

>>18691580
Thank you fren

>Stupid bug eating chinese!

looks comfy thanks op

>>18689160
KEK
based, thanks bro

>>18691459
Just collect some rain water and test it for acidity with PH paper that changes color based on the level.

Well water I think is 'hard' because of minerals - the same reason why washing clothes requires a different amount of detergent based on the quality of the water. Though a shallow ground water well would probably not be too hard.
I'd say if you want quality water then use rain water. Aquarium stores also have products for treating tap water so it's suitable for fish.

>>18691713
You are psychotic.

>>18690593
>>18691330
fucking based. thanks for sharing fren

>>18692968
rabbits are dumb balls of fur, technically just pests
You never had any so you don't understand.
They multiply like crazy also.

Hello shrimp frens.
This is the new shrimp emoji i thought of.

I hope you like it!

>>18688117
FUCK I BECAME EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO ALL MY SHRIMP AND NOW I HAVE FIVE 1000L SHRIMP TANKS IN MY GARAGE FULL OF SHRIMPS FUUUUUUCKKKKK AND I DON'T WANT TO KILL THEM OR EAT THEM I JUST WANT THE BEST FOR THEM I AM CALLING PETA RIGHT NOW HEELPPPPPPP

>>18693037
kek

>>18693037
If you love them so much do you walk them or make treadmills?

Agree. Rain water is way better than tapwater: more acidic, no chloride and less hard. Unfortunately I cannot collect it.

>growing fucking shrimp at home
this is the most based business idea

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hex/

Is shrimp codeword for penny stocks and low volume crypto? or we actually /an/ now?

Any good easy fish I can farm? mammals+birds and even reptiles reproduce too weakly.

>>18693052
YES I HAVE ABOUT 500 SHRIMP MEANING THEY GET 10L OF WATER EACH WHICH IS VERY SPACIOUS THEY ARE PRACTICALLY FREE RANGE I HAVE CREATED A SIMULATED ECOSYSTEM SO THEY LIVE IN A PERFECT SHRIMP UTOPIA I HAVE SPENT OVER $100,000 ON MY SHRIMP BABIES BUT SOME OF THEM DYING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>18693052
WAIT I JUST REALIZED I DON'T OWN ANY SHRIMP WTF I DON'T EVEN HAVE A GARAGE YEP I'M THINKING MY PARANOIA/SCHIZOPHRENIA/DEPRESSION/ADHD/ADD/AUTISM/ASPERGERS/TYPE2DIABETES/ARTHRITIS/DOWN SYNDROME IS SETTING IN AGAIN OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK

>>18688150
You're supposed to deshell them

>>18691713
>>18693000
Evil FUCK.

>>18693173
They're kept for eating, not pets. It is no different to killing livestock from a farm.

>>18693090
No, this thread is about literal shrimp. You want a low-maintenance animal, not all animals are suitable for farming, in fact very few are. Shrimp are the ultimate low-maintenance high-profit animals.

>>18693173
they are souless animals

>>18693126
Just make them a treadmill already

Restaurants, they like fresh swimming shrimp.
Just slap 'organic' on them and liberals will go crazy for them.

>>18693314
you must be new here, you're asking to get doxxed

Is it really profitable?
How much money could I make with $200 in ~3 months?

>>18690593

if under the right climate there is potential for farming higher value crops like pic related but you also need a big brain.

>>18691982
fair point
how bout crawfish though
anyone raise crawfish
worth it/waste of time?

>>18693868

pic related i sold for 25 usd each. i bought mostly mother colony sized pieces starting 3 years ago and i can frag and harvest about 30 frags every month of various species.

i mostly sell to specialized local retailers but there is also internet demand from time to time to places where the hobby is not developped a lot.

>>18690593
HOW??? My Crystal reds all died, crystal blacks refuse to breed but the cherry's and blue neo's all reproduce like champs.

>>18688117

How do you slaughter shrimp?

>>18692968
>>18693173
Get a load of this so.y

>>18688797

Rabbits are yummy. I'd suggest also having chickens if you plan on surviving on your animals if society collapses. Rabbits are so lean that you'll go into a sort of fat starvation/deprivation if you don't get some other sort of it.

>>18693266
>but are stupid and will fly away if left in free range.

>escapes captivity at first opportunity
>stupid

>>18693173
You are an abnormality. Eating rabbit has been normal for all of history. Don’t be soft.

>>18694266
soon enough vegans themselves will be livestock

>>18694015
9mm round to the head

>>18694248

I live right across the road from a quail farm, occasionally when they ship them off for slaughter a few escape. They'll sit on the road in the same spot for up to 2 days until they're eaten by an eagle or fox or run over. Bet your quail defending ass has never even seen a fucking quail gtfo

>>18689160

>According to a report in The Washington Post, he was raised "as Harold Nathan Braunhut, a Jew"[4] — notable in light of his later association with white supremacist groups. He added "von" to his name some time in the 1950s for a more Germanic sound and so he could be more distant from his Jewish family.[5]

>>18688150
based. fuck chinks

>>18694961
find all the restaurants in you area that specialize in upper-tier food, best is if they have interesting daily specials
figure out who the head chef of each restaurant is (i.e. the person who decides what's on the menu/what the daily specials are)
bring those chefs 1/4-1/2 lb sample of your product. Tell them your shrimp are: 1. artisinally grown 2. a local product 3. better than the usual pakistani aquafarmed garbage they get from sysco
keep trying. One of those chefs will buy a pound or ten from you.
This is the start. Develop relationships with chefs. Restaurants come and go but chefs stay chefs.

i'm scaling up in a few months. is there a model i can use that will allow ~100 skrimp to workout at once without supervision? serious question.

>>18689160
keep this up for later, please
once im off work
will download

To be honest I have always wanted to do this shit. Grow something and sell the produce...

Shit I might actually get started on this, on a small scale and see where it goes.

What do you guys think of the catfish farm meme? Some say it was a good investment others said not so much.

>>18693967
these look like corona virus incarnate

>>18688117
seems this is better than poultry since it's less waste to worry

>>18689240
can shrimp eat through bone?

>>18694415
if you're going to be raising a lot of them for market, it's better to get one of those airpowered boltguns.
it's faster, cheaper, and more humane for the shrimp.

look up whatever high value herbs and flowers grow easily in your region. This is the kind of thing you can try at a small scale and then ramp it up if you like it.
There's a lot of ways to sell herbs and flowers, too. Don't overlook the spiritual herbs market.
And there are often value-added products you can make and sell, too. (Soaps, extracts, hell some things you can soak in everclear for a month and sell it out by the half ounce.)

>>18688946
Just drown them in live traps dropped into a tank of water.
