In this video, I have shown the detailed procedure of preparing FCO (Fermented Carbon Organic) for the Biofloc Fish and Shrimp Farming. FCO is a preactivated bacteria that work instantly when you add to your Biofloc culture water, it takes care of harmful ammonia and converts undigested feeds into protein cells, which latter can be consumed by the fishes or shrimps. If you are using FCO for your Biofloc System, then you no need to add extra carbon sources into the culture water.
The application of FCO is varies depending upon the culture. If you have any queries related to this topic, please comment me and I will try to respond your as soon as possible.

🙏 Thank you sir
Welcome
Nice & useful video. Thanks.
Could you pls, in your next video, show us the optimum quantity of FCO required as per Tank size, i.e 5000 lts, 10000 lts, 15000 lts & so on.
Ok I will try to cover it up
Thanks a lot
Most welcome
Giving clear information thank you so much sir dear sir I want to get training from you regarding biofloc any information about training period.
Thank You
After we mix the water, what is the formula to put in the big tank with normal water?
FCO is your interpretation of CN ratio or there is no relation and are separate factors in cultivation of BFT? Kindly elaborate Sir.
I am amaze at your videos . Well done! By now how many harvests? So you are otw to be India millionaire farmer. Good and happy
for you. TQ .you are a good man, this world need more like you instead of corruptions n egoists who deserve hell finally.
FCO is the simplest method of controlling Ammonia and converting undigested feed into protein cells. You no need to worry about CN Ratio when you are following the FCO Method. The CN ratio can be calculated at the end of the culture if you want to know about of it. It been more than 1 year I have been doing research on BFT and trying to help people on this way of doing culture.
Good
Thanks
You deserve a big like thank you but i have three questions
1- carbon source isn’t it something like wheat or saturated?
2- can i use yeast as probiotics source
3- how much amount of this mix can be added to 50 square meters bond.
1. Carbon Sources are Sugar, Jaggery, Rice Bran, Molases
2. Yeast is not a Probiotics that is required for the Biofloc Use, you should be using Probiotics for Biofloc
3. Need to know whats the water holding in 50sqrmtr???
Sir Its a very informative video. Sir I am from Bangladesh, my question is when we should use FCO and how many days interval we should use it.
That depends upon your current water parameters like Ammonia, Nitrite, Stocking Density, Water pH, etc
Can we apply this for tank culture if yes how much for 6 acre tank
Good morning sir, I have gone through your videos and your efforts are heigly appreciated thankQ, and I wish to know that you have preparing your own probiotic which is very important, can you tell me or explain me how to prepare our own probiotic for FCO, regards ThanQ,Iam from INDIA, Andhra Pradesh I'm retired forest officer, nellore district
Probiotics are readily available in the market. So just buy it and use it
Thank you for sharing such useful information.
In 10,000 litres of tank, how much litres of FCO should be added?
Secondly, how do you prepare probiotics? Kindly upload a video .
There are many things which I cannot disclosure now as its not fully tested. I am just using for my purpose to test it. Application of FCO, depends upon the culture, tank size, stocking density, feeding and size of the fish
5 liter fco you can use for 10000 liter tank but dont increase floc 30 ml per liter
Thank you so much 💖. Can I put some yeast??
Can be used
In which container we make FCO dat should be closed wid a cover or should be open all d tyme ??
no need to close it, let it be open
Thank you for sharing this information
CAN I use lactic acid bacteria as probiotics?
I never used it
U said that areation should not be stopped in fco drum , but can i stop aereation to shrimp tanks for at least 1 hour after fco is added to shrimp tank, or do the bacteria need oxygen 24/7 in both fco drum n shrimp tanks
No Pond and FCO Water the Aeration has to run always
Sir plz say should we need to close the lead of the drum/container ??
no let it be open
If the aeration system stop countinusly after some times does it affect the bacteria in FCO process?
Yes they wont survive
We want a video on how to make own probiotics
My process cannot be disclosed at the moment as still its in testing phase and its for my self use.
Sir do we need to add fco daily or weekly? How much quantity of fco is to be added if our TAN is 1mg/lit
That depends upon your ammonia, floc density
Is there anyproblem if more amount of molasis is added, and
how to increase ph level?
it will drop down the DO level, so be careful
Is it need to close the tank cap or we should keep it open please let us know. Thank you
It need to be opened all the time
Hello sir... This is very informative....
I wish to know how much quantity used for 10000 litres tank and interval time.....
That depends upon many things, your tank ammonia, do, ph, alkalinity etc
Got a English speaking channel thnkz .. and one question..Is it necessary to add salt for this fco making process?
That helps in many different ways, you can also avoid that if you wish to
Sir, what if we mix rice barn with feed C:N ratio can be maintained N no use of FCO.
It can be
If BFT have salinity is 35 ppt,do we need same salinity water for FCO.
No
Our current is not continuous here if the irration stops for 15min will it be any problem?
10-15mins doesn't matter but it requires continuous aeration
brother, can we use any plastic material to hold water in biofloc??
Of course
Thanking you for this video sir.
Can I used this biofloc to prawns pond that around 1 acres with one lakh stocking and howmuch quantity of bioflock is used???
Yes you can
Very nice can probitic be added with molasses
Yes, you are right
Do we need to remove the aeration after the fco is ready
no 24hrs it has to run
Thanks for the good informative video. Whats the use of salt? In Biofloc salt is used for the growth of fish right not for bacteria, so in FCO do we need salt?
Salt has many benefits in Biofloc System.
1. Maintains Osmoregulation Process
2. Prevent and Control Diseases
3. Helps in the Formation of Slime Coating
4. Improves Gill Function
5. Reduces Uptake of Ammonia
6. Helps in Healing of Injuries
7. Reduces Stress During Transportation
@@RoadtoBioFloc thanks for your reply, but in FCO is this required? Bacteria grows fast with or without salt?
@@bijishkn Salt has many benefits, without using of Salt also you can make FCO
@@RoadtoBioFloc Thank You so much for the informations.
can i make rectangular pond besides circular one?
Yes you can
Sir how much aeration need for 1ton 30 count shrimp production.how many HP nedd for each ton production.please and thanks
60-80hp Aeration
For preparation fco is it need to air tide dram?????
No leave it open
hello sir ... I m from ODISHA GANJAM ... your work in enlightening people about biofloc is praise worthy . I am also interested in this technology, can you pls share the book PDF version you talked in one of your video. thank you in advance
Please WhatsApp me 9777876057
@@RoadtoBioFloc ohk thankyou
Sir is there any need to change water on every 35 to 45days while adding fresh FCO sir?
After 30 days start fresh
Hi sir very nice vedieo of fco i just want to ask how fco should we use for 10000 liter tank please i vill be waiting for your reply thanku
You can add 1-2ltrs in alternative datysfor first 1 month in 10k ltr tank.... then reduce it 1-2lts per week
very informative. How much C:N you are maintaining in your tanks? 10:1 , 12:1 or 15:1 ? please
I dont monitor the CN Ratio, I work bit differently
@@RoadtoBioFloc care to share please? or is there any way to contact you in private?
Maintain 20:1
Sir can u make a video on planton
Sure
This is a very helpful video, thanks a lot. My question is that for how long do we need to continue aeration after the first 72hours? Am Kenny from Nigeria.
You need to run 24hrs as these are aerobic bacteria and they need continuous aerations
@@RoadtoBioFloc Thanks for your prompt response.
How to produce Dephnia, is it also feasible?
You can try this one amzn.to/3wypb0x
Do you use the same mixture when refilling fco how often do you refill?monthly weekly or every other day
After using 50% of the FCO again I refil 50% of taken water then add only Jaggery, Rice Bran & Yeast
@@RoadtoBioFloc when do you put the fco in your pond every other day? Every week or every 15 days
I only have one pond. Can I mix just half or just 25liters?
Whats the water capacity???
Sir is this method useful for earthen ponds
It will definitely help but required DO to be maintained
Sir can I use fco for maintaining cn ratio
Yes
How to maintain the PH level of water of FCO? plss i need clarity? You mention about calcium?
need to add CaCO3 when it goes down below 5
Nice information sir but how do you come to no fco is ready to use
Usually its get ready within 3-4 days times, the smell will be like alcoholic
sir can fish grow into marketable size in drum biofloc?
Yes
Do we need to cover the drum ?
no need of it
Sir we have to use water-soil probiotics!?
No its different one, whatsapp karo link degunga
when we feeding 50 grams of food... then how much quantity of fco to be add to the food..
That depends upon the Ammonia and pH... Per day 1ltr
whether using of Raw salt is compulsory while preparing FCO , or it may not be added also ,Because I was told that while farming Pabda in biofloc , the TDS should be below 450 and somebody advised to use Raw salt not more than 250 grams per 1000 litter of water .. So I am curious for preparing FCO for Pabda fish .. whether to use raw salt or not ... ...
I have no experience doing Pabda fish culture in Biofloc, whoever told you please consider his experience as different fishes have different behaviors. I may tell you once I do it by myself. But low salinity is beneficiary is as it so many benefits to the animals.
Sir, for 35 to 45 days aeration will be on in fco ??
It has to be run always as its needed
How many litres of FCO will go to 1 m3 of fresh water(water in tanks)? Once I mix fresh water with FCO, what else have to performed with fresh water in tanks (before adding FCO) salt concentration?
There is no standard approach. That depends upon various factors like, Ammonia, Nitrite, DO, pH, Alkalinity. etc
are you using faucet water, water from ground pump, river water. because faucet water may have chlorine.
I am using ground water for my culture
Hello sir i want to konw what is the quantity of FOC mix in new setup tank and which intervals add FCO with what amount?.
Soon I will make another video on this topic
@@RoadtoBioFloc Hi Kallol Sir, I would like to know, Did you make any video on this topic?. Thank you for your video.
How Manny liters should this solution provide in the fish or shrimp tank?
Its depending upon size of water capacity
Hi Sir, for your mixture Fertilizer , Can we use the Formula of 10Liters Fertilizer + Fresh Water 1000Liters or (1M^3) ?
Yes, you can
@@RoadtoBioFloc Thx for your prompt feedback!
And after pouring the Mixture into the Raising Tank, how long Can we put the Fishes? And It's possible for CrayFish?
How much FCO should be added for 4×4m tank sir?
Soon I will make a detail video on this topic
Plain water mein jo probiotic use karte hain Vahi saltwater main use karsakte hai?
Yes kar sakte hai but ensure wo probiotics usme kaam karega
How much time cycle is required to add biofloc in tank (for 10000 litre tank how much biofloc liquid is required )
That depends upon the Ammonia Level, Floc Density, pH and Stocking
How much of this solution should be added in a 1000 litre drum to control ammonia? and to maintain the proper amount of floc in the newly added water??
for a 10,000 ltr tank you can add 50-60ltr FCO in a Month
@@RoadtoBioFloc thanks man ❤
@@RoadtoBioFloc Thank you for the great video.
Can you please advise how much per day FCO quantity is to be given for 10000 liter biofloc tank.
Sir how to you manage sludge in zero water exchange
If you have good bacterial colony, then you dont have worry about sludges
You are great sir
Thank you
Hello Brother, I followed the instructions and prepared FCO, but facing an issue. Since the flies are falling in the tank, I closed the lid with a hole in it and there is lots of foam coming out of the tank. Any suggestions to reduce the foam please? Thank you..
you can filter those flies istead of closing it.... or put a net
@@RoadtoBioFloc Sure bro.. will try with a net. Thanks for the reply..
How do you add this fco to tank?
How much fco for how big tank?
It will be great info.
Thankyou.
That depends upon the culture, tank size, stocking density, feeding and size of the fish
@@RoadtoBioFloc sir pls can you make a video on this topic.
Thank you.
Sir FCO used in normal ponds......it's control ammonia ......please tell me
Its for Biofloc Systems, but you can try and check the results
Can I add more extra carbon in the fish pond include FCO?
For what reason
@@RoadtoBioFloc for extra fermentation in the fish pond..
How many litres of fco should i add in shrimp tank and how many times in a day
For a 10K Liter tank, 1-2 Liter per day depending upon Ammonia, pH, Stocking Density
Sir I am making apps and the pH is more than 10 ok are the need to come down the pH
Samja Nehi
Dear, is this mix enough for a 10000 liter?
Yes
Sir, until now this FCO is still use in biofloc??
30 days you can use it
Hii !!!
I have Biofloc of 55 days.Each shrimp weighted 10 gm. Hence nitrite is formed in biofloc tank .So can you suggest a way to reduce Nitrite.
You need to check the CN Ratio accordingly you can add carbon sources like sugar or jaggery
Please do a video bioflock murrel fish farming
Sure I will do it someday
Hello Sir, I am new to Fish Farming and I am interested in Murrell Fish Farming. Kindly please share a video for beginners to setup Murrell Fish Farming.
Please do the needful.
What is the ratio of FCO to the water on tank.for example 8mdiameter 1meter height
Calculation methods are different
What is different uses between fco and C:N
FCO helps to maintain the required CN Ratio in water.
Thank you for the wonderful detailed information. Can i get your probiotic powder sent to me in Uganda?
I need to check... you can check alibaba website
@@RoadtoBioFloc Please advise probiotic powder brand name
What is the role of salt in fco?
Its role is to maintain Ammonia in Water and Convert uneaten feed into protein cells
Dear sir,
Do you add Carbon everyday as per C:N ration?
No
@@RoadtoBioFloc
Plz in detail
If we stops carbon addition means floc will decrease suddenly?
No
Ap kaun sa probitic use kartye hai....
