🌴 Toon and Leigh Porpeang Crayfish Farm Thailand 🇹🇭
We've been using this basic tank set up on a smaller scale for over a year & it works great. Now is the time to scale up production.
As well as being cheap, it's super simple to install & would complement an existing crayfish setup.
The video also contains information about crayfish care, including water, temperature, feeding, oxygen & much more.
Crayfish (we keep the red claw Yabbies) are relatively easy to grow inexpensively at home in a tank setup or outside in a pond system. Yabbies are beautiful-looking blue crayfish. The males can grow to around 700 grams when fully mature.
Because crayfish (otherwise known as crawfish), taste so good, they are loved worldwide...There's nothing better than a fresh Crawfish BBQ or the famous Crawfish Boil!

i live in south Louisiana crayfish is a way of life here we have acres and acres of ponds with millions and millions of crayfish
I love watching those videos. The guys do a great job trapping & collecting them in their boats daily. After eating them I can see why they're so popular 👍
@Oliver Frankie yeah i know the crayfish vs crawfish just trying to talk to the masses only here in la its called crawfish (coughcough the right way to say) lol
We drive 60 miles almost twice a month to a buffet. Love's crayfish when done right!!!
@@whionlee I grew up calling them crawdad's.
Quit bragging some of us aren't that lucky 😂
Good explanation on everything, cheers to 15k more subs mate! We used to catch crawfish up at the golf course dams, there was always a bunch in the mud water and in cat tails. It was so fun too there were so many in the net every time we pulled it in.
Cheers Aaron. Never gets boring trapping & catching crayfish 👍👍👍

Deeply informative video. Learned a lot, so far. You should consider putting the crayfish farming videos together in a playlist.
Thank you. I have them in their own playlistl. It's named Growing Crayfish at home. I think it's the second one down featured on our channel page. About 20 videos in it now 👍👍👍
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailandwhich crustain culture has the best market I mean pays more which one is the easiest which one is the fastest to grow? How to find market for these does it make financial sense? Tnx ahead!
Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I am not into crayfish keeping, but it's nice to see good knowledge in other aquatic critters.
You're very welcome and thank you for watching 👍
What a beautiful place to live... I love the sound of all the birds in the background. Cheers.
Thank you RC. Year upon year the farm is attracting more wildlife. We're starting to see new species of birds visiting our lake which is wonderful.
Educational & Inspirational, great stuff Leigh
Very kind words thank you TT.
Thanks for ALL your help & information
Lovely to hear that, you're very very welcome ⭐
Great setup you got there, thanks for sharing 🙏
Cheers Robert, very kind.
Thank you! So interesting to learn more about these amazing creatures. New subscriber! Looking forward to seeing more ☮️💯
Thank you that's very kind of you.
Awesome. I tried mildly successfully to raise pacifisucus crayfish for along time. I have been thinking of trying red swamp crayfish. This was an excellent vid for people to start out and gain a great interest. Love the accent. Luca Rufus Oregon USA
That's very kind of you, manly thanks Luca and glad you enjoyed it 👍
this is so cool!! i can't wait to get back to the kingdom to maybe give this a go. thanks for sharing!!
Our pleasure thank you Ray.
Where I am from we call them Crawfish and they are delicious! So much better than lobster or anything I've ever had. My favorite food hands down. You make this look so easy I am going to have to give it a try.
I love the way you talk absolutely love it
Excellent setup and brilliant info 👌
Thank you muchly Bill 👍
Really informative Leigh - thanks very much from Belair, South Australia
Thanks for watching Blaaade, glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Liegh. Toon is cheeky. Watching her catch fish and tease you was the best. I’m old as dirt but God, she makes me laugh out loud. I cant sit and watch while drinking or it flies out of my nose. We love her so much mate. God bless you two. You did good son. 👍👍👍. Give her a squeeze for all of us that think highly of her. Also that Viking toast is used in Iceland. Where the crazier Vikings went.
Thanks for your kind words Harvey. It's lovely to hear that you guys enjoy watching Toon & her funny antics. I feel fortunate to have a wife that makes me laugh each & every day 👍
What a great cost effective idea, dreaming of my semi retirement In approx 10 years and giving this a go
BBQs are never the same once Yabbies have been thrown on there!
Very informative Leigh thank you!!
I appreciate that thanks Howey.
Thanks again Leigh . Very informative. 😊
Great informative video.
Well done on what you've achieved to date.
Glad you enjoyed it Mr Wayne, cheers.
dream it up! Sounds tough! My Boyhood catching crayfish in cracks in culvert. thank you for video.
I love this video and thank you for the knowledge. I need to move to Thailand to get a $20 set up like that 😂😂
That's very kind of you thanks DF 👍👍👍
really good content buddy 👏
Nice one thanks Shane. Much appreciated this end 👍
I can't wait to try this what a great video
Thank you Chris.
Awesome vlog and advice mate. At the moment I am busy starting a worm farm as I have big plans for that but crayfish do interest me also.
I reckon vermicomposting is a great option out here in Thailand. We had a very basic set-up in our chicken coop up until recently. I was emptying it out & forgot to recover their tank. The day day the chickens looked a lot fatter than usual lol.
Great news this morning is that we've just trapped a second female out of our outdoor pond that's carrying eggs 👍
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand my African Nightcrawler population is thriving and I think I've mastered how to keep the conditions just right and prevent any predators or bugs/ants etc getting in so I'm just going to take time this year to scale up and then see expand the farm next year ready for commercial scale vermicompost production
Really enjoyed the video
Thank you Donald. We have a crayfish video update out later today 😉
Fascinating. Your presentation is very well done. Crawdads would be a great hobby to follow. I do love to eat them but I don't because of the purine and all that comes along from that. I keep honeybees too but very rarely take any of their honey. Another fascinating little bug that I love having around. I just give them a home and watch over them and let them do their thing.
That sounds a great deal for the bees. Thanks for your kind words 👍
another great video. i am in Ireland, going to try to catch and grow some natives from the local river. obviously will not get the size you have but i agree with you, they are fascinating animals. life seems pretty good over there. stay safe and keep up the good work
Thank you Philip & best of luck with your venture 👍👍👍
Be careful bud, I don't know if the rules are the same as in England but here, catching and removing live crayfish from natural water sources, be it invasive signal crayfish, or the endangered natural white claw crayfish is illegal and you get a fat fine.
Love from China, thinking of an early retirement and go back to home village to do so myself.
Thank you 👍
Isn't youtube banned in China 🙄
@@thebeautifulanimal oh that hurts
@@thebeautifulanimal not with a VPN no?
@@imgrindin VPN is a lifesaver haha. I hope they are not snooping on it too.
Absolutely stanning video. Very well explained. Many thanks
Thank you, that's very kind of you. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed watch it.
Very interesting video mate! I live in the states but your method would also work great out here depending on where in the country you live. I think your right in that the little Crayfish could be a sustainable food source. When things go sideways. Good information!
Cheers Derrek. A tasty, cheap & relatively easy backyard food source. One of our better ventures here on the farm lol.
nice setup for your breeding tanks, works well. Cheers.
Thanks Eric.
Great set up guys 👌👌
Thanks buddy.
Loved the video. I agree with you about the taste. I'll take crawfish over lobster any day. Anyway, my crawfish story is that we had some at home for a pet for my son and it was amazing to watch. It would stalk, kill and eat a goldfish right before your eyes. Really interesting to watch! Thanks for the peek into your world and thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
Cheers Dennis. Goldfish serial killer lol.
Someone’s a fan of the streets.
Dizzy new heights blinded by the lights !
Now to watch the rest of the video haha
Brilliant 👍👍👍
Great video!
Thank you very much 👍👍👍
Awesome video! I'm starting on trying to breed them your video helps a lot!, Greetings from Mexico!
That's fantastic to hear. I think you're the first viewer from Mexico that's commented on our channel.
Good luck with your crayfsh venture.
We'll be posting more of these type of videos in the near future 👍👍👍
There is a lot of valuable info here
Cheers Joe, that's very much appreciated by Toon and myself.
Lots of good info, Thanks!
Thanks Kurt. Glad you enjoyed it.
I deleted UA-cam a while back. But I’m glad to find you again I just subscribed and hit the bell. Thanks so much for the contact.
That's really great to hear Joshua. Thanks for taking time out to let us know ⭐
That is a cracking setup, very enjoyable watch...I won’t say you’re so lucky because you’ve made all this happen off you’re own back 👌 just love that farm 🙏🙏
Thank you kindly Chris. Sadly no more quail egg omelettes but Yabbies on the bbq is definitely an upgrade matey.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand sounds good to me, might have to go shopping for breakfast though, every day that passes is a day closer to getting back to Thailand, can’t wait 😄
This is really cool. I live in arizona and I want to start a crawfish farm.
Good day you make great videos,I want to get into crayfish farming. From Trinidad and tobago❤ learn’t alot
Awesome video very informative
Thank you very much Angelo. We're glad to know that you enjoyed watching 👍👍👍
How wonderful to live in such a beautiful part of the world!
Sound too good to be true, nice sharing 👌
Thanks for watching GT.
You should of continued your ending speech. So much of us is in need proper and sensible guidance. Especially us with families.
Cheers and much love from the Caribbean. 👍👍 Love your content.
great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
True, my grandfather always used to say if you own a bit of land you can grow potatoes and survive.
His reference to growing high carb potatoes is something many survival homesteaders talk about these days 👍👍👍
dude subbed i love you bro can easily make this in my backyard!
Brilliant to hear that from you Thanks for letting us know 👍👍👍
unfortunately it dosent get as hot here as you guys so it'll have to be a seasonal thing caus we have some hard winters.
My crayfish can all climb the whole 60cm of airline all the way to the top of their tank, took me a little while to work that one out! Also super jealous of your Thai setup!
Like the movie the Great Escape lol. Cheers Leigh.
Use a big washer? Frisbee with a hole cut in it?
@@phredphlintstone6455 solo cup
I've had them climb an airline or heater lead and then push open a glass lid, drop to the floor only for my dog to be growling at them in the kitchen when I get up in the morning. Usually it's large males who like to look for new territories. During droughts they trap water in their carapace like a scuba tank in reverse and can cover literal miles in one night looking for another waterhole.
@@TheCaptainbeefylog Cheers for the reply, I ended up using an elasticated nylon net over the top because it was so stretchy they couldn't just lift it up but they spent hours hanging to the top of the airline trying their best! Sadly the ones who did make it out likely found themselves dinner for the foxes or badgers in the garden.
Also...👉 got u! (👌)
I'm currently working on getting a Electric Blue or Blue Dream breading pair and from wild caught blue and brown crawfish and it climbed out and was devastated it was dead but little did I know it a little descendant would soon make its presence known in a 55 gallon aquarium and I was amazed to finally have a true blue crawfish that are only 1 in 10,000
Good video brotha
Very kind thanks & much appreciated 👍
Thank you for the info.
You're very welcome 👍
Very inspiring. I'm proud to admit that I just ordered my stock tanks for starting my breeding sets.
Wow that's excellent to hear Robin. Thanks for taking the time to let us know..... brilliant & the best of luck 👍
I'm into aquaponic gardening now. I would like to see you do a gardening video. Raising tilapia in the large tanks and then in the grow beds where it's a float system you would have crayfish.
We've just started trialling growing some vegetables in 3 new crayfish tanks in a shaded area. Video soonish 😉
Hi leigh and toon
You should set up a weekend workshop, I would be the first one to come over and spend time to see how it all goes together. great vid
Wow that's a cracking idea John.
We do run farmstays for guests.
We have accommodation available in our village house just a stones throw away.
The last time i saw you on the net you were selling off your goats. I am glad to see you are into another endeavor.
Very useful video
Thanks a lot
Wow amazing
Thank you muchly 👍👍👍
I finally got 2 girls berried up. Love your vids guys. Keep up the good work.
That's great news Chris & best of luck with your hatching. We found it such a relief once the breeding started.
The setup looks so much cleaner
I’ve just started with 200 Cherax Destructor crayfish in a 5000 litre tank in Australia. Love to see what you’re doing and after a year I’ll move to Redclaw and then maybe saltwater prawns.
That sounds great Brett. Do you have any videos of your setup? Always looking for new ideas this end 👍
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand I’m planning to breed bigger crays, I’ll pick out the biggest males and females to breed separately in isolation tanks and BBQ the runners up. With a few generations I should be able to get 30% increase in weight. The Australian CSIRO did something similar a decade ago so there’s scientific reason behind it.
That sounds like a good way to go 👍
I’ll send you some pics when I find your email.
Depending where you are in Aus you may not be allowed to raise redclaw as they're an introduced pest in most of the country. They're from the Norman River basin in FNQ and even here in SE Queensland they're a pest. They've just about wiped out all other crayfish down here including C. destructor. Check your states biosecurity regulations.
Cheep to set up, but dang, all those birthday party's :))
Look very good Leigh 👍
Thanks Torfinn.
It seems like a lot, but so long as you hold 1 party for every crawfish born on the same day, you'll only have to hold 365 crawfish birthday parties per year (366 on leap year). Wrapping presents is going to be the real chore.
@@danirizary6926 I hate wrapping presents, I'm useless at it too....Brilliant at opening them though ☝️
Wow amazing 🇹🇹
Thank you for sharing and I'm interested to learn more. Please advise how to started!
We have a dedicated playlist here on our UA-cam channel with about 20 videos all about raising crayfish in tanks & ponds 👍👍👍
Brilliant.
Think you are on the right track using those containers for the females,easy to check their progress and remove when they are finished.I'm. using a pvc fish pond and it's really difficult to find them let alone check their condition,wondering do you ever change the water in those female containers? Keep up the good work,well done
Cheers John. We tend to change the water roughy once a week.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand what kind of water ?
Very very interesting. Fantastic communication👍. Here in the southern US, they go by Mud Bugs or Crawdads (sure you know this, tho).
Cheers FC, glad to hear you enjoyed it. Last month I heard them call Crawchies for the first time!
What you sayed on the end of the vid was excactly my idea a few years ago . Then i saw a few catch and eat vids on YT and i found out that these buggers where here in the netherlands to and where spreading in pounds and canals . In time maybe i will try to catch a few of them and try to setup an non escape place for them . For feeding i was thinking on worms , because i want to make also compost for my garden its a win win for me . The prices on foods and meats are on the rise and they will go thru the roof so i think i will start to make some plans for the very near future . Thanks for the lesson .
Worms are a very good food source for crayfish 👍👍👍
Most vegetable scraps from your kitchen will be happily eaten by redclaw. They can be voracious omnivores. You may have to weigh the vegetables down though. I feed my crays zucchini or cucumber as a treat. Cut into 1/8ths and weighed down with a fork. My catfish also love the cucumber.
Looking to just get a small tank for some personal consumption. Thanks for the tips and advice!
You're very welcome. Cheers Leigh.
A very informative and educational video except for the Anticipated But Disappointedly
Absence Of Even A Glimmer of the Crayfish Hatchlings 💣🔥💥
You make a very good point. Out of all the views this video has had, you're the first person to pick.up.on that ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I live in Phayao, Thailand & we have these growing wild in the lake. The locals trap them and sell them. I have yet to see anyone eat them, they apparently just put them in aquariums and such. Crayfish have become very popular food in China, seeing how the Thais like everything Chinese... maybe they will accept yabbies as well.
I recommend a plant like lotus root that can feed off the wastes and clean the water to nitrogen cycle.
Great video.We have native crawfish in Washington State in the US. I'd be interested in creating a small set up for personal consumption only. Could you tell me what size tanks you use to grow out the adult crayfish and the annual yield you get from each of these tanks? I just want to get a sense for how much space is needed to see if it's practical for me to do this on my property.
10x10
Watched one of my baby crawdads take down a small live bloodworm. Cool!
I setup a bunch of tanks like this with 5 gallon buckets with a small hole about 4-5 inches from the bottom. The buckets are in a tray. I add fresh water every few days and it drains back into the SUMP tank for the Aquaponics system.
So, inbreeding isn’t an issue?
Thanks!
Inbreeding can be a issue just change some pairs once and awhile and buy fews pairs of crawfish from outside especially from someone you never brought to guarantee they aren't cousins with your original pairs of crawfish reprodutors !!!!!! I'm expert or something but any tips maybe worth it!!! I'm brazilian so also the native crawfish and climate and taste of customers are different. So keep in mind it too!!!( That also crawfish can be from different places and species the biggest one is from new Zealand!! Some are even blue 🔵)
@@robsonwilianwinchester9726 the largest freshwater crayfish is the Tasmanian Giant Freshwater crayfish (Astacopsis gouldi). The ones in the video are Redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) from Queensland, Australia and while not the largest they are probably the most aggressive, adaptable, fastest growing and breeding of most species. They are now banned as pests in many countries for these reasons, after having outbreaks of wild populations taking over entire rivers and lakes.
Having crayfish 🦞 in a Pond is Far Better than Crabs 🦀 in your Undies 🩲🤪🤔😂😂🤣🤣
Never a truer word spoken.
Sand cures that particular problem!
They stone themselves to death!
When I was a young kid in the 60s. I crossed two different kinds and created my own. The teacher teaching science class said you needed a male and female. I told him I had one that was self-fertile. He told me I was stupid and he said he was the science teacher and I didn't 😂😂knew what I was talking about and I was just trying to cause problems in the class. So when it came time for us to do a little class project I brought one of these crayfish into the school in a jar just one single crayfish a baby. And without a male when it got larger it had babies. He took the crayfish and did his own studies on it. When he couldn't figure it out he sent one of the crayfish off to Germany where they studied it. The scientists took all the credit which cut the teacher out. The teacher had cut me out when he took the crayfish from me. The scientist called it a marbled crayfish and it was coming out of Florida in Pinellas Park out of the ditches. The scientists said that he believed that it was a cross from someone's aquarium and that the aquarium was dumped out in the ditch and that's where these marbled crayfish came from. That teacher was a real jerk he slapped me around the school many times so I was glad to make a fool out of him.😂
Flipping heck....what a plonker of a teacher!
great commentary.
Thank you muchly 👍👍 i
Hello! Thanks for sharing all your tips. I've been trying to find a crawfish restaurant in Thailand but I can't seem to find one that's similar to Louisiana style boils. Do you have any recommendations?
Great Video. Learned a lot from your videos. wondering what's the name of the plant on your pond? cant find matched of hyacinth on google. anyways thank you for sharing your experience with those yabbies!
Yt is an amazing place...I am satching a video of a bald guy hatching crayfish in plastic buckets.
Pmsl 🤣🤣🤣
Now I’ve gotta find a reason why I need to do this
Love it, great comment lol.
Look into crawfish boils.
When Alan and I come down this summer, we'll bring a couple Ribeye steaks if you'll supply the Yabbies.........
Sounds like a great deal to me Eddie. Just make sure it's not Ribeye of Soi Dog please ☝️
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand It's Thailands best Rib Eye steaks, so you never know..... "-)
I have a slimy alga we call Cotten candy and the tads do a pop eye growth spurt on it in SW Fl
I would love to see a 1 lb red claw.to cold here to grow
how do you cultivate that green fluffy algae. what do you put in your pond to make the algae multiply faster?
Air pushers to go along with the water pushers !!!❤️🙏🕯️🤸🐦🇺🇸🤠😺❤️
Thanks for going off on tangents. People need to hear this stuff, and Im specifically here because food costs have gotten so out of control. Have a like, have a sub, I gotta figure out how to turn this pond liner into a crawfish tank. See you around, cheers.
What is the size of your concrete tank, and how deep is the water in it?
The good algae looks like some dank that got soaked lol.
I'll admit it.....I had to Google dank (I thought it just meant dark n damp lol.)
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand It used to, but I'm old so I know that lol.
Cool 😎
Cheers
Great video,wondering if the RedClaw will eat the snails? think I heard you mention you had them both together in one of your tanks.
Yes they sure do eat them John, but only the very small ones.
I wish I had a little more space to set something like this up
Good video and I saw a video on breading theses and in the 🇺🇸 a guy if farming crayfish in rice fields and he does thousands sorry forgot his name
I got mine in a 30 gallon storage container
Just one my cousin didn't need
Only got 3 inches of water and she just laid her first clutch of eggs
I feed them a little piece of ham and let it sit in there for 3 days just a centimeter by centimeter piece and what's left I'll give to my dog and rip off another piece of ham
Every Monday i drain the water down to about a inch and clean it out a little before giving her some fresh water
And the air hose is running straight up to wall which again is a 30 gallon tank so the wall is about 2 feet tall so they ain't getting up that easily
Great info, but where ya crawfish at?
Sir when you clean your tanks are you taken your vegetation out of your tanks also. How often do you clean your tanks. Thanks can you give us suggestions are you separating the young crawfish babies
Leigh Vlog great. You need to speak to your costume deparment, LFC Oh! Not us we will not join the ESL?
