Currently, the output market for this type of yellow eel is very large, so in addition to raising commercial fish, Mr. Ngo Chien Thang also provides eel fry and guides on eel farming techniques for people who want to raise them.
The golden eel farming model of Mr. Thang, Song Ray commune, Cam My district, Dong Nai province. He has been raising the second batch of eels for over a year.
According to Mr. Thang, the first batch of eels he raised was more than 1,000, but due to lack of experience in raising eels, 50% of the fish were lost, but the harvest still reached nearly 2 tons.
Eels raised for over 15 months can be harvested. Each eel weighs from 0.8 to 1.2 kg and costs 450,000 VND/kg. Traders come to buy at home in unlimited quantities.
Mr. Ngo Chien Thang, Hamlet 1, Song Ray Commune, Cam My District said that raising eels requires a lot of techniques. After raising a few batches, he will gain more experience.
"Currently, I am raising eels in earthen ponds and using tarpaulin lining because ponds with tarpaulin lining avoid fish loss and eels grow faster in ponds because of more oxygen.
During the process of raising yellow eels, I will regularly check the PH level of the water and check if the fish are developing any diseases to have early treatment methods to avoid economic losses. Because eels have very high economic value...", Mr. Chien Thang confided.

Mr. Thang raises eels in tarpaulin-lined ponds because there is a lot of oxygen for the fish to grow quickly.
In addition, food for yellow eel is natural food such as ground fish mixed with bran, without antibiotics.
In particular, every month of raising eels, filter the fish once to classify them, otherwise the big fish will eat the small fish.
For raising yellow eels in cement tanks and tarpaulin-lined tanks, he has researched using probiotics to treat the water once a month without having to change the water.
He is currently providing golden eel fry to households in need of raising them at a price of 20,000-50,000 VND/fry and instructing people on eel farming techniques.
According to Mr. Thang, the golden eel has a very good ability to survive, but the loss of breed is often due to ponds not being lined with tarpaulin and the fish will escape.
Second, large eels will eat small eels, so the trend is that many people choose to raise them in tanks. Recently, the demand for this specialty fish is quite high, so the amount of eel breeds he sells is very large.
Mr. Thang sells yellow flower eel fry for 20,000-50,000 VND/eel and provides detailed instructions.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hanh, Chairman of the People's Committee of Song Ray Commune, Cam My District (Dong Nai Province) said: "We are also monitoring and grasping the situation of the golden eel farming model of Mr. Chien Thang's family. If it is successful in many more batches, we will have a policy to create an exchange point for people to learn and replicate in the locality...".
Song Ray is a locality with year-round water resources, so it is favorable for developing aquaculture models. In particular, this eel has high economic value. Expanding the farming model for local people will help increase their income and accompany the locality in implementing the National target program on new rural construction.
Mr. Thang has many years of experience raising freshwater fish in the locality. He raises many types of fish and is also a source of fish breeds for people around the area.
Mr. Thang said that although yellow eel is easy to raise and has higher economic efficiency than other types of fish, the raising time is quite long, from 15 to 20 months, so it will take a lot of capital, so before raising it, people should research carefully.
