What make ulang special is that you can feed it with indigenous feed stuff. As to Mr. Pagulayan’s experience, he fed his Ulang with boiled crush suso which is a pest from his rice field. He also feed it with ripe papaya, grated coconut, and other vegetable like squash and carrot. Cultue period would take around 5 months.

Another advantage of ulang is that you could put tilapia also in the same pond / polyculture technology.
