Been following dis tread and it's been exciting. Pls, since u r also into fish breeding, hw do u prevent ur hatchlings from dieing? Wot kind of net do u use for d incubation and d type of water source u use. I did some last week, they hatched but all died, very painful.
Many thanks for your following.Your questions may have appeared simple but they are technical.First of all,let me admit that only GOD, the Omniscient,is the Expert in fish breading!Don't be deceived, every breeder has their own challenges especially breeders with little experience.Maybe l should start by saying that l use kakabans and not net for breeding.Secondly,l use well water and to prevent hatchlings from dying involves so many precautions and management work.One can learn them if one learn properly.However,we can still talk gradually if you are patient because it's long long story.

(Ipomoea aquatica) is a semiaquatic, tropical plant that flourishes naturally in water and moist soil. Kangkong is an edible plant harvested as a leaf vegetable. Kangkong thrives in tropical and subtropical regions and is more commonly found in Southeast Asian countries.
Kangkong can grow rapidly spreading through waterways forming floating mats that can block water flow and passage of small water crafts. The USDA categorized kangkong as a “noxius weed” and is included in prohibited aquatic plant list.
Kangkong is a herbaceous trailing shiny vine with milky sap. The stems are hollow, rooting at nodes, usually found trailing in moist soil or floating in aquatic locations. Kangkong leaves are alternate, simple, in the shape of arrow heads about 3–14 cm (1–6 in) long. The hollow vines float on water and the leaves are held above the water line.
Kangkong bears trumpet like flowers whose petals are white or pink-lilac with mauve color at the center. Kangkong has oval or spherical seed pods that contains 1 to 4 gray seeds which may be used forplanting.
In Southeast Asian region, kangkong is a popular leaf vegetable and can be found in most Southeast Asian cuisines. Young shoots can be eaten raw as in salads or cooked with other vegetables, spices and meat.
Kangkong is a good source of amino acids, calcium, iron, vitamins B and C.
Kangkong Herbal Medicine- Health Benefits
Kangkong buds, used as poultice to treat skin diseases such as ringworm, athletes footetc,
Kangkong is used to promote vomiting in poisoning.
Kangkong juice mixed with water are used as cold compress to treat fever.
Juice from boiled kangkong is used to loosen constipation.
Kangkong is also used to treat intestinal worm infestation.
In Indian Ayurveda Medicine, kangkong is used to treat jaundice and liver problems.
Kangkong leaves are used to treat diabetes in pregnant women.
Kangkong is also used as a sedative to promote relaxation and sleep.
Kangkong, ScientificStudies - MedicalUses
Benefits of Kangkong for Diabetes
A study conducted in Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition, India reported that by administering powdered kangkong supplements to pregnant rats, both the mother and the fetus exhibited an increased resistance in diabetes induced oxidative stress versus a control group. The results suggest that kangkong supplementation during pregnancy may provide beneficial effects against diabetes induced oxidative stress both forthe mother and the fetus.(Journal of Diabetes. March 2013: Dietary supplementation with Ipomoea aquatica attenuates maternal and fetaloxidative stress in streptozotocin-diabetic rats)
Beneficial Effects of Kangkong Against Liver Disease
The Department of Molecular Medicine, University of Malaya in Malaysia conducted a study on the protective action of kangkong against thioacetamide-induced hepatotoxicity in rats to determine if kangkong can indeed help treat jaundice. An ethanol extract of kangkong has been administered to rats subjected to liver damage by thioacetamide. Results had shown that the rats when compared to a control group showed resistance against liver lesions, cell necrosis and inflammation. The study further suggests that the protective effectof kangkong extract in chemical-induced liver damage might be contributed to its modulation on detoxification enzymes and its antioxidant and free radical scavenger effects. Moreover, it confirms a scientific basis for the traditional use of kangkong forthe treatment of liver disorders. (Molecules. 2012: Ipomoea aquatica extract shows protective action against thioacetamide-induced hepatotoxicity)
Kangkong Side Effects, Cautions And Warnings
Kangkong is an edible vegetable considered safe for human and animal consumption.
Kangkong when eaten raw may transmit Fasciolopsis buski, an intestinal fluke parasite of humans and pigs, causing fasciolopsiasis.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding : Kangkong is considered safe even for pregnant women and breast feeding mothers. Kangkong is actually used to treat diabetes during pregnancy.

Please, at weaning do you separate the sexes or just keep them together in a large space?.
A good job you're doing sir, it's beautiful, God bless.

One can let them be together as long as the space is big enough,whether cage or open space.They can always be together until the males are sexually mature and start competing for females.

Nice job you are doing posting these tips.
Can you drop a picture of your recommended pen/cage?
Also, would they do well on other feeds alone- apart from those leaves you mentioned as I may not have access to those leaves.
Thank you.
