Boss Robonski has said it all. What I will just advice is for you to start small. Then increase with time. On your pond you can go small as well . 700 to 800 max fingerlings is cool for it. for drugs add multivitamin to tge list eg livestovit or any other good one . On feeding, you feed at least 3 times a day. I don't know if you mean 15 kg per 1000 cats to table size. If so it is very wrong .
Gbam!!

The price range from N40,000 to N95,000. They can be use to raise between 300 to 1,200 table size fishes. They are well fortified with galvanised pipe.

If it is this formula then its is 1kg considering the amount of fm,ts gnc and indomie
Thanks sir for your quick response. I took this formula to a mill factory, but what they used was 0.1 for salt,floxinor,etc. I hope it wouldn't affect the fishes sir. I will like to hear ur view.

Good day everyone, pls am sort of doing a market research on catfish. Please does anyone knows the marketability of catfish in the East, in Abia state precisely. How long can a farmer sell at least about 10,000 catfishes in the Eastern part of the country especially in Abia state. God bless.
[b]I am seriously interested in this question. Cos I also plan to start breeding catfish.

Now to attempt to answer the question, I think you will be able to sell. However, I feel that the sales may not be as high as one could get in the southwest where every body eats catfish and a lot of market women sell only catfish.

But I still feel that there will still be sales to major fast food outlets, bush bars and hotels; especially if one can grow fishes of 2.5kg and above. So many hoteliers and bush bar operators travel all the way to bayelsa and rivers state to buy catfish of that size. i know of at least 2 pple who do that in owerri.

Moreover, if Buhari seriously enforces the ban on importation, then it will even make a lot of things better. Just go to Johnny-best cold room in eke-onuwa owerri and see the way pple queue up to buy cartons of imported chicken and imported catfish.....both are illegaly imported contraband items.

U can always dry the fish and sell it in cartons if it appears u are wasting feed on trying to make it grow out. At least dry fish can be sold anywhere in nigeria.

I stand to be corrected sha. other pple's opinion are welcome.

My chairman, the surprising thing to me is that they were put same-time (Tuesday last week) but some are 7cm, 6cm,5cm, and some 4cm.
Even the 2mm some eat it when it has soften. Pls will it still give them the required nutrient?

All in the same earthen pond.

Your advice will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards.

Okay, try selling to those hausa buyers though you wont make good profit from them. Also check at Oyingbo for buyers of ur product. Better still, try to gradually create ur own retail market network.

Add water to the brim with plantain or banana leaves leave for three days, drain off the water and wash the pond.

Fishes in general does not grow at the same rate, even though they were stocked at the same time there must be changes difference in size.. 2mm is the ideal feed for them at this stage

I have been observing what has been going on, on this Forum for a very long time now, but have not send a comment, because I have not started farming. But the joy of the way farmers are assisting each other is overwhelming that I could not hold it any longer. My gratitude goes to Ronboski15, Aquadude15, Belexyfarms, and every other person both people that are asking questions and the ones that are suggesting solutions, because that's where we amateur learn from. I have not seen a wonderful family like this, People disclosing their mistakes and ideas that cost them money, to help and save others from loosing money in order to maximize profit. (This is amazing), I don't have anything to offer in appreciation than to ask God to bless everyone of you massively.

Am based at Ogun State (Agbara) and will start soon.

Remain blessed!
