Raising guppies, a tiny ornamental fish that a farmer in Long An, Dong Thap Muoi region, sells well.

In recent years, the start-up movement has been actively responded to by many young people in Vinh Hung district, Long An province. As a result, many successful start-up models of young people have appeared, contributing to improving their lives.

The startup model of Mr. Nguyen Van Tuoi (Choi Moi hamlet, Tuyen Binh commune, Vinh Hung district, Long An province) is an effective guppy farming model.

According to Deputy Secretary of Vinh Hung District Youth Union - Nguyen Minh Cuong, to promote the youth union members' scientific research movement, the District Youth Union has been strengthening the connection of scientific research models and projects to create conditions for young people to exchange and learn from each other's experiences; at the same time, proactively creating links with businesses to support young people in scientific research in terms of capital, technology and market, etc. to motivate other young people to participate in scientific research and develop family economy .

Currently, Vinh Hung district has 3 effective TN KN models. The Guppy Fish Farming model of Mr. Nguyen Van Tuoi (born in 1990, residing in Choi Moi hamlet, Tuyen Binh commune, Vinh Hung district, Long An province) is one of them. It is known that the Guppy Fish Farming model was implemented by Mr. Tuoi since June 2023, stemming from the desire to bring a stable source of income for his family and build a career for himself.

Initially, when he had the idea of ​​implementing this KN model, Mr. Tuoi encountered many difficulties, especially regarding capital. Mr. Tuoi is an excellent member of the commune, enthusiastic and enthusiastically participating in many local Youth Union movements.

Therefore, the Commune Youth Union supported Mr. Tuoi to borrow preferential capital of 50 million VND from the Social Policy Bank to invest and implement the Guppy Fish Farming model.

Due to lack of practical experience, at first, the fish loss rate was high, not bringing economic efficiency. Not discouraged, with the spirit of eagerness to learn, Mr. Tuoi gradually overcame the difficulties.

He spent a lot of time researching and learning more knowledge on the Internet, learning guppies farming techniques from experienced people. Gradually, he mastered the farming techniques, improved the quality of the breed and expanded the consumption market.

Mr. Tuoi shared: “Currently, my farm has about 1,000 pairs of fish, each month producing more than 1,000 guppies for the market. I usually deliver to customers, mostly in the district area, the rest in Ho Chi Minh City.

The advantage of the guppy farming model is that I raise them with canvas so it doesn't take up too much space. I raise them in front of my house so it's easier to control, manage, care for, and change the water. At the same time, raising guppies with canvas also contributes to protecting the environment, avoiding water pollution,...

Currently, due to the modest scale, after deducting expenses, each month he has a profit of more than 6 million VND, although not much, it still contributes to stabilizing the family economy.

It is known that with the concept of “quality over quantity”, Mr. Tuoi has no plans to expand the farming area in the near future. Instead, he will focus on raising the current guppies well, finding new and healthier guppies to improve the quality of the breed.

Deputy Secretary of the Youth Union of Tuyen Binh commune, Vinh Hung district (Long An province) - Phan Van Qui commented: "Mr. Nguyen Van Tuoi is a shining example of local KN in TN. With the model of raising guppies, Mr. Tuoi brings a stable source of income for his family.

We appreciate Mr. Tuoi's spirit of daring to think and daring to do. Through that, the Commune Youth Union also hopes that the youth in the commune will learn from this model, boldly innovate to develop the economy, contributing to building an increasingly prosperous homeland."
