The time from spawning to selling the fry is about 3 months, at which time the fish will reach a size of 8-10cm, meeting the standards for sale. "The fry at the 4-5cm stage is the stage when the fish are most susceptible to disease, so at that time I have to observe them every day, especially early in the morning, to be able to detect diseases and treat them immediately if any," Mr. Tan shared.
