The height in the aquarium, which is a maximum of 30 cm. The Aquarium with this size is sufficient to live in one master package, namely 5 females and 3 males or 100 1-inch seed.

Meanwhile, the manufacture of cement ponds costs a lot more. Usually in the cultivation of household-scale freshwater lobsters, cement ponds are only used for the mother colony for enlargement.

The cement pool for breeding is made with a size of 40 x 40 x 40 cm with a water height of about 30 cm. For an enlargement pond can be made with a size of 2 x 1 x 1 m or 1 x 1 m, with a water level of 30-40 cm. The pool can be used for an enlargement of 50-100 1-inch seed.

Garin lobster cultivation using aquariums and cement ponds requires supporting equipment. The equipment needed to support the processing process, including hiding holes using paralon pipes, bamboo pieces, rapia ropes, ijuk, tiles, bamboo, and others.

Water suitable for lobster cultivation can use ground water, PAM water, or river water. If using groundwater, it is better to deposit water for 24 hours so that oxygen levels can increase too much. The use of PAM water also needs to be deposited for 24 hours so that chlorine and its caporite evaporate.

The lobster pond used to raise seeds needs to be maintained in temperature. The temperature for this pond is 24 to 31 degrees Celsius and the pH level is 6-8. Owners can use a thermometer to monitor temperature.

The life of the mother lobster needs to be considered because it has an important role in the process of restructuring. The quality of the lobster seeds produced is greatly influenced by the mother.

Akuarium for egg determination needs to be given a paralon pipe for hiding places and hatching seeds. The temperature of the container must be maintained always stable during the incubation and demarcation process.

After one month, seeds or cubs have been perfectly formed to hatch. However, the cub is still attached to the mother. The cub will be released gradually, within 2-3 days all the seeds have been separated from the mother's body.

Newly hatched seeds or cubs are placed in a hatchling pond. After 10 days, seeds are transferred to a dederating pond. Maintenance is carried out for one month. Seeds need to be protected so they are not exposed to the sun directly because their growth is very sensitive to changes in temperature.

Seeds begin to grow with a head shell and a body shell after 8-15 days of age. After 1 minggi, seeds can be given additional feed in the form of silkworms, peanut flour, shrimp meat, shrimp pellets. The seeds can be harvested at the age of 70 days with a length of 5 cm.
