Success with the "aristocratic fish" farming model.

Introduced to Vietnam quite some time ago, the hobby of keeping koi fish, also known as "aristocratic fish," has only truly flourished in recent years. Previously, we could only admire the dazzling colors of koi through books, television, the internet, or in upscale tourist areas. Today, koi are more accessible, appearing increasingly in public places such as cafes, entertainment venues, and even in the homes of many households. Besides their beautiful colors, koi are also attractive to breeders because of their feng shui significance; according to belief, this fish brings wealth and good fortune to the owner. Therefore, koi are considered the top feng shui fish in the current ornamental fish market. Recognizing the growing demand for koi, Mr. Nguyen Linh invested nearly 1 billion VND to build two koi ponds containing hundreds of fish, each costing from several million to tens of millions of VND. Currently, Mr. Linh owns two koi ponds with a variety of Japanese koi and hybrid varieties such as: Kohaku (white mixed with red); Showa Sanke (white mixed with red and black); Utsurimono (white mixed with black); Kiutsuri (yellow mixed with black); Kingginrin (platinum or gold)...

Leading us on a tour of his family's koi ponds, Mr. Linh shared his story about how he started investing in this fish farming business: “Previously, I only raised ornamental fish for fun, to indulge my passion. In 2019, I started visiting, learning, and researching the market, studying many koi farming models in neighboring provinces and cities. After that, I realized that koi farming has high economic value and attracts many enthusiasts, so I decided to invest in purebred koi farming to supply this type of fish to the market.” And this model has brought considerable economic benefits to Mr. Linh's family. Each year, after deducting expenses, Mr. Linh's family earns a profit of approximately 200-300 million VND.
