it is profitable only if you do it on a large scale.
mind you I said project #150. not necessary you will spend up to that. if you have fast growing fish, you won't spend that much to get melange. but melange is done on a large scale to get any meaningful profit out of it.

babaoloola:

Where is your farm located Sir?

Teepompey:

Pls, I would love if you could give a range. Maybe a minimum number one can stock to make a meaningful profit. Thanks as I appreciate your contribution.

Hmmmmm . . .Let us look at 5000 Melange as example because i still put it to most people that, i dont see how someone could make money from this melange business . . .

5000 FIngerlings bought at 10 Naira = 50,000 Naira
Feeding at 150 Naira/ fish * 5000 Fishes - - - Will cost 750,000 Naira
Miscellaneous assuming is 5% of the total cost spent . . . This will now be 5% of 800,000 Naira and will be 40,000 Naira
Total expenditure seems to be 840,000 Naira

Total sales:
Assume we attain a average weight of 350g
This will give us 1750 kg
Sales of Melange i heard is 380 Naira /Kg if one is lucky . . . . . 665K Naira

Please gurus in the house, is there anything i am doing wrong in this calculation, if NOT i am yet to see how people could convince me that they are making money from melange.

Hello house. I just sold off my stock of 5 months yesterday. I was able to get an average of 600grams for the fast growers and 200grams for d others. Sold @ #500 per kilo for d big ones and #400 per kilo for d small ones. Though I sold at a loss considering how much I spent on d feeding and purchase of water, still I give God d glory cos I got more dan what I had expected.

Is it wise I restock now?

I now know areas where I erred.
