[b]Greetings to all my bosses here and all protocol duly observe .I have few hitches here and I need help Asap. Againt my next hatching. My first hatching ... I fed with Artemia for 2weeks then 0.3 coupens, followed by 0.5 coupens ,and 0.8 coupen ,and then they can feed like 4 to 5times a day Without any problem. But this recent batch I fed them with Artemia 5days, Then 0.2 coupens for like 1 week and I discovered the 0.2 coupen was changing the body of those fries(albino like) so I stopped from there I continued with durante 0.5 because I could not get 0.3 coupens in the market... Now my observation after feeding them with 0.5 Durante. They hardly feed more than 2 times a day Its either they don't eat the rest Or some dying. What could be the problem and please help suggest the best feed starting from 5days old to juvenile which feed and sizes do u recommend and the interval to be given. Thanks.[b]Greetings to all my bosses here and all protocol duly observe .I have few hitches here and I need help Asap. Againt my next hatching. My first hatching ...

I greet everyone.... pls i am looking for where i can find plastic mesh in Nigeria... I have been calling a few plastic companies with no luck. If it is possible to get variant mesh sizes of 1/2", 3/4"and 1" with associated prices it would be really appreciated.

Referrals, contacts, anything on how to get it. I want to see if i can use it to partition my ponds...

Thanks all...

Good morning every one in this thread. All protocols duly observed. With regards to all masters and ogas in the house i beg your pardon to introduce myself to the house as this is the first time i am commenting on this thread.
I am a Fish farmer from Bauchi with 1 and half years experience. When i started, one man helped me bought juvenile from Abuja. secondly from Minna. and thirdly from bauchi. So i began to understand that some fish used to do better than others in terms of quick growth and healthiness. currently the fish i have in my farm were bought from Minna, they are more than five months in my ponds but not up to 500g. I decided to hatch in my farm this time around that i want to stock again for the fifth time.
Now i want you guys to help me in getting good broodstocks that can yield fast growing and healthy fingerlings to start my first hatching in my farm. secondly, i want to stock 3000 juveniles before my hatched ones grow up to ensure continuity of supply to my customers. so where and how can i get those good juveniles that can grow within 4 months all conditions being equal.
lastly i want to attend hatching training if i can have one.
thank you all.

@ cross,
I feel d first thing to do is to know d exact pH of the water.
I heard ppl use wood ash to treat after knowing d pH. The pH determines d quantity.

All ogas in d house, abeg appear and answer this question.

@abdulamar, u really tried ooo. I will advise next time, u stock ur fishes in batches till u get a bigger and steady market for ur fish. I will like to know how u fed them till 5 months. Did u use loval feed at anytime? The ppl DT sold u the juveniles can also link u to fish sellers with large capacity.

mercylicious:
I will also want to know your cost of building a concrete earthen pond.
I need to compare it with the cost of building a pond DT is above ground level and compare it with other additional costs as draining water with water pump.

mercylicious:
@abdularmar, what could u have done to prevent d issue with the pond, plz share so DT we can learn.

mercylicious:



I will get contacts of plastic producers so DT u can discus with them if they can produce such for u. I know Onitsha and nnewi shld be able to do such.

I still wonder how such can be used for partitioning.

4 dose dat want to go into melange productn i hav post friez(ijebu) 4 sell.......#4......dey wil b 4weekz by tuesday.......07060523565.......tankz

cross234:



pls hlp me

abdulumar:


Thanks for the advise. Building the contact base and market as we move along sold 1.6 tonnes thus far... currently have a service provider fabricating a smoking/drying kiln to preserve excess that cannot be sold immediately. As for feed; used Multifeed from the start.... got them at juvenile stage.

I am no expert.... though i have engaged a fisheries graduate and current test on feed type based on our assessment is that copens is our next target. heard its a bit pricey but it may be worth every kobo if its going to provide the results we need.

abdulumar:


Pls what is the fish size referred to as melange
