I run two farms in Vietnam — 116 racks in all. That sounds like a factory until you stand in the aisle. Each rack is still a room full of small decisions: who pairs with who, which cull teaches the next generation, which line gets another generation before it earns a name.
Scale with a boutique eye
Volume without standards is just more work. The farm only makes sense if grading stays honest and water stays boringly stable.
What I share here
This site is my journal — parameters, grading, line stories — for keepers who want to learn. If you came to learn Caridina from someone who lives in the racks, you’re in the right place.
