Wait...you mean to say it's feasibleto have a cottage-industry koi farm for a hobby/supplemental income? I've been considering putting in a pond and looking at different ideas for what to put in it and koi are a contender.
Oh no, the microbiology guy I’m talking about is beyond full time with his farm. He’s there 7 days a week when he’s not traveling to shows.
And that’s just taking care of the fish and growing them out, not breeding them. He imports from Japanese breeders.
As for breeding new babies and selling them, it’s certainly possible but there probably isn’t a ton of profit in it. Any time I’ve thought about it I’ve thought two things: I don’t want to deal with rando customers and I don’t want to turn my happy peaceful hobby into a job.
Even farming eggs and gardening vegetables as a hobby is basically a p/t job for me. I do about 25-30 hours of work per week on my property, and some of that is just groundskeeping, then I work 40 hours at a 9-5.
But I wouldn’t trade it for anything lol
Yep, now with having my pond chores zen time and being able to enjoy the end results, I think I fully understand what gets people into gardening. I’ve just been forever obsessed with aquatic life.
Good points, thank you for the followup!
