So indoor shrimp farming isn't a meme? You can make a living indoor shrimp farming apparentlyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQyKCj9-f5kbut you know what they say, shrimpin ain't easy
I live with my parents.
>>62033355sounds like you have a bedroom to shrimp farm in
>>62033326anon, you can make money doing just about anything indoors nowadays given sufficient enough space. theres indoor ski lhills
I've heard of one guy near Missoula making a shitload of money from selling shrimp at farmers markets before people realized he was farming them in a pool.
>>62033326>ndoor shrimp farming isn't a meme?Never was.t. shrimp farming billionaire
>Indoor shrimp farmingNot exactly the most viable, you have to find a market. This is true for him, he's doing exotic pet shrimp which you really do need a specific market for plus specific tank setups.Now get this - quail eggs. IF you have the market for them their eggs are tiny but sell for more than chicken's eggs, chinese buy specialty ones that sell for a few dollars each (you have to incubate them partially and sell them to them), and quail themselves can be sold (have to ack them yourself, it's just snipping their heads off with a pair of shears and then taking off the skin like a sock)So quail you can sell them live, sell the eggs, sell fertilized eggs, sell semi-incubated eggs to chinese, sell the frozen whole birds as dead pet food, fly fishers and crafters will buy feathers, and falconers will buy birds / pelts for bird training.So there's more potential markets and it's broader, but you'll need at least an outdoor shed for them - their cages must be constructed indoors for decent security, too many predators. Can't raise them in just a normal coop.Btw I haven't done any of this I've just looked into it, if you're in an area where there's actually a market for quail it's huge nigger money, if there's no market they're basically just small retarded chickens. They also breed by themselves when you get the male / female ratio right, so with a 50% hatch rate 1 female will lay 300 eggs, which turn into 150 quails. Unlimited bird hack.
>>62033449I thought quail were sort of smart.
What if eat the bugs really means everyone gets as much shell food as eat?
>>62033460Imagine if a chicken's brain were smaller.They get scared and jump up, so if you build their cage too tall they jump too high and snap their necks thinking they'll have enough space to jump.They'll get into big fights if the male / female ratio is wrong, which will quickly result in dead birds.They're songbirds essentially, all of their intelligence lies in vague animalistic paranoia because they have 10x the natural predators of a chicken due to their size.
>>62033484They've gotta be cleaner than chickens. Sounds like you know what you're doing.
>>62033499>Cleaner than chickensYes and no, basically they shit a lot more but every pro setup takes those oil drip pans from the auto store (big metal baking sheets basically), the shit falls though the floor onto these, and you scrape the poo poo out of them when needed, so they shit a lot more but it takes like a minute of cleanup per cage and takes zero effort, just comes right off the tray into whatever bin / compost.Basically the hard part for any of this side hustle stuff is finding a market. There is legit zero market for something like chickens in most areas (oversaturated market), some market for shrimps and backdoor fish and the like, probably more of a market for quail, which is a luxury food that costs big money to get at the store.
>>62033449but there's no way you could quail farm in your apartment. That's an endeavor for at least a detached garage or shed if you have one, otherwise you just end up living inside a bird coop. And if quails are anything like chickens, they are extremely messy (like shit everywhere messy) and of course it smells horrible. not to mention the noise. At least with some sort of aquatic breeding business, one could start such an endeavor without major impact to their living space.
>>62033521True, the scale is shed vs apartment.Many animals are like shrimp actually, potato bugs, snakes / lizards (still smell like shit but lizard people heckin LOVE this), I think you hypothetically could raise even food fish in a 100 gallon water drum in your apartment but the landlord wouldn't like it very much.Quail are fairly quiet though, so they can be stealth-raised in city sheds.
>>62033326>>62033408the jew fears the indoor shrimp farmer
>>62033326The taste is very different thoWhomever comes up with an indoor shrimp that tastes and is as big as one from fresh water will become a billionaire
>>62033537there are people who do tilapia farming inside an IBC container, which is basically a big metal cage with a plastic tub inside, and they cut them up and raise tilapia in the bottom and grow lettuce on top and create an aquaponic environment. might be a good option
Breeding freshwater shrimp to increase in population beyond replacement isn't easy. Also a lot of the babbies will be poor colors. They are transparent and brown in nature and trend back toward that no matter how brilliantly colored the parents. Also the prices in the video are overstated. Maybe in NYC with rich widows as clients.If you want to try at least get some cheap or free tank off craigslist and breed some worthless red cherry shrimp for a while to see what it's about.
>>62033594The numbers aren't that great for meme-ponic systems, that's more of a way to stabilize the fish tank instead of grow crops. Basically one pound of fish equals 3-5 square feet of plants - so scale this up for apartment size.Your 8x10 room will have 80 square feet, cut that in 1/4 and you can have 20 pounds of fish for an entire room's worth of growing medium, which you wouldn't have adequate light for anyways - and this 20 pounds of fish would expend your 100 gallon tank, so basically you'd be using up an entire room of an apartment using plants for that single 100 gallon tank, which would get you 20 pounds of fish.The plants were never the goal and can be grown efficiently without said system, the goal is the fish and the plants are sort of just a way to stabilize the tank, but they have physical limitations. Indoor fish farming is possible though, it's just that you're not getting good plant yields and you're gonna rely on water changes and filters and feed.Such fish systems + plants are better in the open, and fish systems like that are probably better without the plants just done in a basement.
>>62033460The wild ones have to be smart enough to evade predators.One of the saddest moments of my life was driving down a state highway in Idaho when I saw a small herd of quail along the side of the road. The mommy quail apparently decided to distract the big approaching predator automobile away from her brood and exploded off the shoulder directly into my radiator. I hope the babies made it to reproductive age.
>>62033326>>62033326how is this a meme? its normal common sense. i used to do this 10 years ago when i had an aquarium. would get a bunch of hatchlings then sell them to people on craigslist for $2 a piece. you never run out those fuckers multiply like crazy but the trick si you have to keep the environment just right for them. temperature has to be spot on, 10 degrees too warm or cold fucks thm up and they dont reproduce and they grow slow
>>62033326Two words: Garloids

If more people bred the exotic pet.. it wouldn't be exotic anymore...
